The EEDP Series high data rate cable assembly provides a cable system for edge card interfaces with a choice of mounting and rugged latching options. Uses 30 AWG twinax micro ribbon cable, with cable lengths up to one meter standard. Custom lengths are available up to 1.8 m. Reportedly offers low skew and superior EMI performance in differential pair applications. Is available with 8, 16, 24, and 32 pairs. Comes with a choice of captive panel screws or PosiLock squeeze latches. Mating connectors may be oriented on the boards vertically or edge-mounted. Right-angle surface mount connectors are also available.

The Label Master now has a second-sided placement option available with the station. Is an inline, print-on-demand label “pick and place” station that can selectively place a variety of labels onto PCBs. Said to accurately place labels ranging from 7 mm x 7 mm to 40 mm x 40 mm, through the use of an X/Y gantry and programmable Z height. The system includes a 600 dpi Zebra printer and an internal buffer conveyor. Places labels on both sides with a single pass.

The APR-5000-XLS Array Package Rework System is said to meet Pb-free process windows. Optimized heating for Pb-free BGA rework permits reflow without incurring excessive lid temperatures, re-melting soldered joints outside the rework area, PCB warping or distorting plastic bodies of connectors such as RJ45s.

The Sentinel System is a fully automated medical device testing solution. Controls line voltage to the Device Under Test (DUT) while performing hipot, leakage current and functional tests. Said to scan patient connections for leakage current without powering down the DUT. Integrated with CaptivATE software. Reportedly automatically downloads the test setup; creates test sequences; conducts required measurements, and outputs test results to a print file and/or a database. Also completes Electrical Safety Testing to IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-2-49.

The DispenseMateR D583/585 automated dispensing system is WEEE/RoHS compliant. Uses the same dispense control technology as Dynamic Dispensing ControlT (DDC) and Jet on the FlyT. Is designed for batch production dispensing processes, including solder paste, conductive adhesives, surface mount adhesive, gasketing, sealing and silicone/epoxy encapsulation. Said to be ideal for labs, new product development and prototyping. Two models are offered with different dispensing areas: the 583 model has a dispense and vision area of 325 x 325 mm; the D-585, 525 x 525 mm. Other features reportedly include precise and flexible control parameters through closed-loop servo technology and quick release mount for valves. An advanced height sensor automatically checks for warped parts and inconsistencies. Pattern Recognition and CAD import are optional.

The ScanExpress JET test tool combines boundary-scan and functional test. Combines common pin and net-level diagnostics using boundary-scan testing with CPU emulation testing through its JTAG port. Provides functional test capabilities on designs using JTAG-compatible CPUs and even non-JTAG peripheral components. Structural tests for opens and shorts reportedly can be performed via boundary-scan, while at-speed functional testing can be performed using the CPU to run test programs loaded into memory. Uses proprietary techniques to test on-board memory at speed without loading code into memory; can test and diagnose faulty boards and systems even when the embedded CPU is not able to boot and board self-test is not operational. Users can access pre-built functional tests or create functional test scripts from scratch to test nonstandard parts.
