Concept FX is a multi-axis, x-ray inspection system featuring configuration flexibility with 80/90/130 kV x-ray source options, six axes of motion control, operator-friendly ergonomic design and a no-clamp sample tray for fast load and unload.
The x-ray source and detector tilt offaxis in relation to the sample providing oblique object viewing in real-time. Has a small footprint of 46 x 52” yet is capable of inspecting PCBs up to 20 x 24”; 60% larger board handling than similar sized systems. The high-resolution high-magnification imaging train provides clear imaging of electrical connections. Applications include: failure analysis of bare boards, assemblies and parts, component interlayer prototyping, manufacturing process validation and rework verification.
Loctite 3549 is a high flow underfill formulated for use with advanced CSP and BGA packages. Is designed to quickly fill the space beneath the CSP and BGA packages and cures rapidly at low temperature, which minimizes thermal stress to other components on the PCB and allows for in-line curing.
When fully cured, it reportedly delivers excellent protection for solder joints against mechanical stress such as shock, drop and vibration in hand-held devices. Testing of the material to JEDEC drop test standards on 0.4 and 0.5 mm Pb-free devices has shown that it offers five times the reliability over non-underfilled Pb-free devices.
Compatible with modern lead-free solder materials and is completely reworkable, allowing for an increased process window and the recovery of high-cost substrates and PCBs. Has long pot life (14 days at room temp. and up to 7 days at processing temp.) and simple, standard refrigeration temperature storage.
Version 2.5 of the Environmental Material Aggregation and Reporting System (EMARS) completely supports the IPC-1752 Material Declarations standard for the RoHS directive.
"The IPC-1752 materials directive is a critical industry standard to help control the data formats and forms involved in complying with RoHS," said German Avila, product manager for environmental products. "Thoroughly understanding IPC-1752 is extremely important for OEMs and suppliers trying to streamline their processes and reduce the cost and burden of exchanging data related to RoHS. Our new version of EMARS has been designed to support IPC-1752 and ease the pain of gathering, organizing and storing the mass amounts of data involved in compliance."
EMARS is an off-the-shelf solution that can analyze and track compliance at the substance, material, part and product level as well as efficiently manage the data collection and reporting process. Version 2.5 fully supports the IPC-1752 Class 1 through Class 6 forms, providing the ability to generate IPC-1752 requests and reports, and validating and loading IPC-1752 reports.
