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.

MicroLine 350Ci laser system offers stress-free depaneling of assembled PCBs. Uses a laser technology featuring higher cutting speeds then mechanical depaneling methods and requires no expensive artwork related tooling.
The laser technique leaves no residual dust on the PCBs does not damage sensitive components. Cuts any contour while maintaining a higher precision than mechanical routing systems. Non-contact cutting with a laser means no mechanical stress for both the board and its components. Using a very small beam diameter allows components to be placed close to the edge of the board for optimum utilization of the panel.
The compact system can be integrated in an existing SMD production line, or used as a stand-alone work station. The laser works straight off of CAD data. The cutting speed is reportedly superior to most mechanical methods, especially when using thinner board materials. A dual fiducial camera system provides instant fiducial recognition over the entire working area.

A new line of Pb-free no-clean solder pastes was introduced by the Contact Materials Division (CMD) of Heraeus during Apex last week. The F640 Series is said to promote wetting and minimize defects with tin/silver/copper alloy soldering.
With a wide process window, the paste is able to compensate for process variations in printing, component placement and soldering. Provide wetting on a variety of surfaces and finishes, and leave behind a clear residue. Offer minimal slumping and exceptional print-to-print consistency, can also be reflowed in air or nitrogen environments.
