Now available: MiniMate (MMSD Series) with wire gauges from 20 to 30 AWG and PowerMate (IPBD Series) with wire gauges from 16 to 24 AWG. MiniMate cable and connectors are rated at up to 6 amps at 20°C, with PowerMate rated at up to 12 amps at 20°C.

Standard assemblies can be specified from the catalog for any cable length with a variety of pin counts and termination orientations. Also available are mating PCB-mount connector shells and contacts as components for customer assembly.

A range of assembly tooling is also available. Hand tools (CAT-HT) are ideal for low volume, pre-production and repair applications, while bench-top terminating units (CAT-3000 Series) and mini applicators (CAT-MA Series) allow quick change and semi-automated terminating with press capacities up to 3000 pounds.

YESTraX barcode traceability software enables traceability from AOI systems to the offline review/rework station. Can create a serialized barcode that can be assigned to rework images as well as SPC data. The SPC software will generate quality reports, archive data and improve quality control.

The increased need for a paperless environment and lean manufacturing, YESTraX is the first software to provide a barcode traceability function for the AOI market.

Logs board defects, generates barcodes for boards that do not already have one and creates quality control reports, reducing the time to log defects and create reports downloadable to various different software applications.

OptiCon AdvancedLine is a new hardware platform for AOI that guarantees high fault coverage. The centerpiece of the new family is a modularly extendable camera that allows alternative selection between a one and four mega-pixel camera module. Users can add additional camera options for THT components, color inspection or 3-D measurement as well as angled view inspection for the inspection of J-Lead pins at PLCC and SOJ components.

Designed to offer higher test speed, reduced debug times, minimal false call rate and high fault coverage. The platform has an all new appearance and space for further options and capability.

The four mega-pixel camera with system-specific telecentric lens allows an inspection field of 40 X 40 mm at a 21 µm resolution. TOP lighting provides multicoloured LED illumination with three basic colors controllable separately. Quattro illumination with 16 illumination settings enables the display of shorts, laser labelling and polarity markings.
