Everett Charles Technologies and atg Test Systems will display a “disruptive” fixtureless technology for testing bare PCB panels.
A pre-screener for industry-accepted flying probe test (FPT) systems, Eliminator 6 eliminates test points to be tested by FPT. Leverages FPT advantages of fixtureless, quick test preparation and programming, adding faster test times per PCB to be suitable for all volumes of production . Panel test application niches include rigid PCB, I/C package and PCB inner layers.
Scans PCB panels at a rate of 76.2 mm (3")/sec. regardless of PCB density, test pad size and pitch, or number of PCB images per panel. Resulting elimination rates of 85-92% per panel permits FPT test times of less than 2 min./panel.
Eliminates expensive test tooling and fixturing.

HawkEye inspection and RTC (Rapid Transit Conveyor) technologies now provide 100% board verification at a cycle time of 4 sec.
HawkEye isolates faults through rapid good/bad verification instead of performing data-rich inspection during high-speed manufacturing. Can verify 100% of printed boards within the line beat rate by analyzing streamed images instead of successive still images. To quickly isolate bad boards, the system records pass/fail per board against preset thresholds instead of capturing quantitative data.
The speed at which boards can be delivered and removed from the printing phase is increased through RTC’s board handling technology. Instead of the traditional, slow, belt-type transport that relies on friction to move the board, RTC grips the board, adapts to its dimensions and transports it into printing position.

PRO 1S and PRO 1Sm are single nozzle selective soldering stations that incorporate a variety of technologies to solder individual or groups of components. The nozzle is surrounded by a nitrogen blanket to enhance soldering.
The 30 lb. solder pot is Pb-free compliant and comes with a solder replenishment system and automatic spray fluxer system. PCBs or pallets enter the work cell on a precision in-line conveyor system. Programs may be set up through a data management system or overhead laser pointer. Once the X/Y parameters are established, the z motion maneuvers around bottom-side components.
