Products
Visiprise Manufacturing 4.1 builds on its integrated manufacturing platform rolled out earlier this year. Said to provide increased performance and scalability while improving system security.
New features include:
Integrated Product Dashboard: allows users to view work instructions, assembly components and data collection requirements through a single, configurable dashboard.
Device History Record Reports: for manufacturers producing items requiring compliance, displays a complete history of a product through a single view or record.
Time-based Component Traceability: includes feeder staging for faster machine changeover for electronics manufacturers.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): permits authentication using secure, single sign-on when accessing the application across the Internet.
Enhanced Data Collection: enables manufacturers to require that certain data be approved and validated and supports the use of formulas.

Speedprint Technology Ltd., a division of Blakell Europlacer Group, is offering Novatec’s VacuNest Shape Memory Tool on its printer platforms through an OEM supply agreement.
The shape memory tool combines the benefits of a custom tooling plate with the versatility of pins. An antistatic membrane covers a foam former surrounded by polymer granules. Simply place a golden board onto the modules, press down, pull a vacuum and the memory of the board shape profile is held. The chambers are profiled to the shape of the underside of the board ¾ on activation of the vacuum this shape is now held. The shape will be held until the vacuum is released, and the modules return to their original form awaiting the next version of board.
Will not damage a component due to the pin/printing pressure, support forces are evenly spread over the entire board, provides firm and precise support and can be simply reset when a board version changes.
Said to guarantee board flatness; is not sensitive to solder paste contamination.

Eliminates the cost of a custom tooling plate as well as pin tooling. Can handle high-density boards with ease and requires little to no lead-time.

Wickgun Desoldering Braid Dispenser is a hand-held tool that allows users to dispense, position and cut-off braid using one hand while holding a soldering iron in the other. Features a braid with no clean flux (for use with Pb-free solder), is said to eliminate handling braid, reduces waste and speeds desoldering.
Available in four braid sizes from 0.035” to 0.110” W, the replaceable cassettes are preloaded with 15 ft. of braid and are easy to change. Braid is advanced and retracted using a thumbwheel can be cut-off by squeezing the trigger.
