29 x 29" VectorGuard stencils allow customers to reduce changeover time and ease stencil handling and storage challenges in applications requiring a large image area.
The large format foils are available in popular thicknesses, including 0.005" (0.127mm) and 0.006"(0.152mm).
Customers can also use the 29 x 29" frameless system in machines that do not have an adjustable chase, including non-DEK machines, or where they prefer not to use side bar extensions. The system then becomes a straight swap for existing framed foils.
Customers invest only in the frame, which comes complete with a footpedal to control the air supply during mounting, and the foils themselves.
Extruded aluminium edges and plastic corners add rigidity and streamline frame mounting and tensioning, making larger foils feasible.

FEINFOCUS Graphical User Interface (FGUI) software version 2.2 offers real-time background subtraction. Background subtraction reduces shading in x-ray imagery, a common problem in x-ray inspection that limits image contrast.
Shading appears as a slight fading of intensity from the image center toward the periphery, the degree of which depends largely on the sample or structure being x-rayed. The FGUI enables users to activate an automatic background subtraction process, loading a previously produced background image from one of the many buffers available. The gray values of the background image are automatically subtracted from those of the active x-ray image in real-time -optimizing image contrast and facilitating interpretation of the inspection results.
The inspection software has several new capabilities, including an AVI recorder, 16-bit image processing, seamless integration of Direct Digital Detectors (DDD) and image saving in a variety of formats (e.g. TIF, BMP and JPG). New image-processing operators have also been added, such as an electronic film operator.

Squeegees now available with the entire blade coated with Permalex. Reportedly reduces solder paste sticking. Infuses the blade with a polymer lubricant, developed through a multi-step metallurgical bonding process. Said to reduce stencil pulling and stretching, improving pad registration and stencil life.
