QTEK Stencil Clean removes solder paste, Pb-free pastes and other stencil print materials. Suitable for use in both vacuum and non-vacuum under-stencil cleaning mechanisms.
Formulated specifically for the removal of stencil contaminants, and is effective on solder paste residue.
The aliphatic hydrocarbon chemistry is non-flammable and non-corrosive, safe for use with stencils, frames, boards and the printer itself. Contains no ozone-depleting substances, is RoHS and WEEE compliant.
Penetrates solder paste and lifts it from the screen, removing contaminants from small apertures without scouring the stencil surface.
Has a high evaporation rate to leave surfaces clean and dry, and is said to provide superior solvency, as well as good wetting and dispersing characteristics.
Valor has announced full support and integration with all Siplace Pro Siemens placement systems.
Siemens users can benefit from Trilogy 5000 functionality, including fast, accurate CAD/BOM load, stencil optimization, rotation neutralization, machine/line optimization and balancing, Virtual Sticky Tape (VST) to reduce NPI debug time and advanced grouping functions (for low-/mid-volume, high-mix environments. Through Siplace Pro, the steps to final program generation are fewer and faster.
Julian Coates, Valor’s executive VP for marketing and product management, said, “The seamless integration between Valor’s Trilogy 5000 advanced assembly line engineering solution and the powerful Siplace Pro open interface delivers tremendous cost savings to Siemens customers by generating the fastest route from data load to optimized machine program generation. Siemens customers will enjoy reduced NPI cycle time, increased shop floor productivity, and quicker machine programming and set-up times.”
Legex574 CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine features ultra-high accuracy (MPEE = [0.35+L/1000] µm), a large measuring range (510 x 710 x 455mm), high traverse speed (200mm/sec.) and robust worktable loading capacity (200kgf). Applications include measurement of large lenses and inspection of metallic molds, engine blocks and similar components, whether in production runs, or small lots.
Driven by MCOSMOS (Mitutoyo Controlled Open System for Modular Operation Support) software with modules supporting virtually every CAD format while providing routines for in-line measurement, data feedback and process management.
Spheroidal graphite ductile cast iron is used for the chassis which, together with air-damped spring isolators, attenuate vibration. Design used FEM (Finite Element Modeling) analysis to optimize configuration to ensure geometric accuracy by minimizing deformations caused by normal machine operations. Thermally-stable components and real-time temperature compensation maintain high accuracy, even under a wide range of operating temperatures (64.4° to 71.6°F / 18° to 22°C).
A variety of probes is supported including contacting scanning and touch-trigger as well as laser and vision.
