A.C.E. Production Technologies will exhibit the KISS line of selective soldering systems suitable for Pb-free solders at Nepcon East in booth #6028. A.C. E. will also introduce its Dual Head Fluxer option that facilitates quick changeover of flux types. It is designed to meet the needs of selective soldering applications that demand quick changeover from leaded to no-lead solders, a common concern among electronics assemblers transitioning to Pb-free.
Rugged, reliable and compact, the line consists of the basic KISS 101 system and programmable KISS 102. The systems feature Pb-free compatible solder pots for assembly, prototyping and rework, post-reflow offline assembly and other selective soldering applications such as odd-form devices.
Standard and custom nozzles are available for both machines. Both are bench-top models with optional carriages for stand-alone use. A dual-head fluxing system for the 102 makes it possible to change flux types quickly.
Both can accommodate PCB’s from 2 x 2” up to 18 x 24”, and connectors up to 10” long.
TNC 320 is a full function control that incorporates the features of the iTNC 530 control, including the ability to control five axes, but at a lower cost. Has analog drive interface, good for interfacing to existing drive systems on retrofit applications. Its one-piece construction minimizes cable runs.
Features a 15” TFT color flat-panel display (1024 x 768 pixels) for programming graphics and on-screen user support. Main computer has a large number of onboard cycles to simplify machining operations, from drilling and milling to workpiece probing. Conversational programming is standard and G-code programming is now possible with an added USB keyboard. The compact flash memory card stores the PLC program, commissions information and offers more user memory for NC files. Data interfaces include RS 232 as well as USB and ETHERNET.
Based on the new NC Kernel software platform. Benefits include a powerful interface between PLC and NC, eliminating redundant operations. Detailed help can by called for each parameter by pressing a button. Has expandable I/O capabilities making it viable for more complex machine applications.
The control will make its North American debut during the WESTEC show, March 27-30.
Master Bond Supreme 3HT-80 is a one-component heat curing epoxy adhesive. It reportedly exhibits high shear and high peel strength. Offers resistance to impact, thermal shock, vibration and stress fatigue cracking. No-mix compound, has an unlimited working life and cures within 30 min. at 175°F (80°C).
Said to have excellent adhesion to metals, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanized rubbers and most plastics. It forms bonds that are resistant to water, oil, fuels and most organic solvents even upon prolonged exposures. Operates at -100° to +350°F. Is 100% reactive and does not contain any solvents.
Available in half-pint, pint, quart, gallon and five-gallon containers. Also available in convenient cartridge applicators.
