Promation has released its latest version of the ELM-700AYL Laser Marking system for PCBs.
The software enhancements now allow for all standard True Type Windows based fonts to be used through an easy-to-navigate interface.
It also allows for easy import of JPEG, GIF and BMP raster formats and DXF, WME and PLT vector formats. The GUI has the look and feel of most Windows-based systems.
Other features include: WYSIWYG drawing editor; zoom in, zoom out and panning; inch, millimeter or centimeter units; unlimited multilevel undo and redo; Virtual Laser Marking; adjustable field size (square or rectangular); rotating of entire mark field (one-degree increments); rotate, scale, translate and mirror all text; and more.
MK26 vibration isolation workstation is designed for ultra-low natural frequency applications. It uses Minus Kpatented negative-stiffness vibration isolators to provide a compact, passive workstation with ultra-low natural frequencies, high internal structural frequencies and vertical and horizontal isolation efficiencies.
Minus Kvertical isolator uses a stiff spring and a negative-stiffness mechanism to achieve a low net vertical stiffness without affecting the static load supporting capability. Horizontal isolation is provided by beam columns connected in series with the vertical-motion isolator. Adjusted to a .5 Hz natural frequency, the workstation achieves 93% isolation efficiency at 2 Hz, 99% at 5 Hz, and 99.7% at 10 Hz.
Can be configured for a variety of applications where disturbances due to external vibrations can adversely affect the operation of sensitive equipment. Customization options include guard rails, padded armrests, overhead equipment shelves, monitor stands, non-isolated shelves for supporting equipment off the tabletop, oversized keyboard shelves, retractable casters, Faraday Cages to protect sensitive operations from electromagnetic interference, tabletop enclosures to protect against harsh manufacturing environments and electrical accessories such as outlet strips for lighting.
Available with up to 650 pounds (295Kg) gross load capacity. Is Class 100 cleanroom compatible, with Class 10 available. Tabletops can be ordered in two sizes (30" x 36" and 36" x 48") and either in lightweight “honeycomb” or composite construction.
Speedline Technologies has released Benchmark Operating Software version 1.6 for the MPM Accela printer.
New options include:
Integration of Grid-Lok board support tooling within hardware and software.
StencilVision is now a standalone option for customers to add this bridge prevention tool on printers that are in-line with Paste AOI systems.
An upstream bar code reader enables bar code capture on either the top or bottom side of the substrate, and the storage of that unique number with the SPC data; enabling data tracking and more exact recordkeeping.
A temperature and humidity sensor option captures and displays data, storing it in the SPC file for further analysis.
RheoPump option operation is enhanced, allowing quick change from pump to blades and vice versa for rapid changeover.
The release also broadens fiducial recognition capability, integrates online Help and increases the number of user wizards and templates.
