HCT-900 Hand Held Convection Tool is a low-cost rework system with the flexibility to handle a range of thermally demanding production and rework applications, including Pb-free. Typical applications for the 300W unit include removal or replacement of QFPs, PLCCs, SOPs and TSOP devices. It can also provide heating and reflow for touch-up work as well as heat shrink and other local heating applications.
Closed-loop thermocouple feedback regulates output temperatures, and control temperatures can be set in the range 100º to 500ºC. The user sets the heat and airflow control dials to the required values for the application. Unit maintains the required temperature automatically, even if airflow is adjusted.
The low-noise pump (less than 45 db) provides precision airflow control. A power-off, cool-down function retains the airflow as the unit powers down for efficient heater cooling and reduction of thermal stress.
A range of nozzles are available for general purpose applications or specific SO and TSOP packages, or PLCC, BQFP and QFP devices. Also accepts many industry standard nozzles.
Three versions are available to suit input voltages of 115VAC (HCT-900-11), 230VAC (HCT-900-21) or 100VAC (HCT-900-10).

YTV F1-Series AOI system offers high-volume manufacturing environment enhancements that reportedly deliver automated PCB inspection and reduced costs, improved quality and increased throughput. Faster and more intuitive, off-line programming maximizes machine utilization with real-time SPC monitoring that is easily configurable and portable across multiple manufacturing lines.
YESPC software provides diagnostic and trending analysis of the manufacturing process. By providing real-time monitoring and reporting of SMT production processes, management can immediately react to critical process events. Fully compatible with every YESTech AOI and YTX-5000 combined x-ray/vision system.
Both the system and software were on display this week during Nepcon East.

Elektrobit will showcase the Test Handler J402-11 with embedded Digitaltest LAMBDA Tester at the upcoming SMT/Hybrid/Packaging exhibition in Nürnberg, Germany.
The handler construction is based on the J402-07 handler and it is fully compatible with Digitaltest Lambda and MTS300 testers.
Reportedly saves test cycle time, increases test coverage and quality, and uses minimal floor space. Offers high efficiency per cost and a user-friendly, robust construction with excellent usability, ergonomics, and quick and easy fixture changeover. The jointly developed handler features:
• Shortened test cycle time
• Increased test coverage and quality
• Minimized footprint
• Press force 3000 N (4500 N)
• Robust construction
• Easy and quick fixture change.

Series 582 Vertical Flow Hardwall Modular Cleanrooms are prefabricated and easy-to-assemble. Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, materials of construction and classifications. Comply with Class 100,000 to Class 10 operating conditions.
Modular wall panels fasten together to form a shell and a NEST-TIGHT grid system attaches to the shell to create the internal clean room ceiling. The ceiling grid features interconnecting tee bars that provide strength to support filters, light fixtures and panels to comprise the clean room ceiling. Uses a HEPA-N-SEAL negative pressure safety seal to ensure that no air leaks through the ceiling grid into the clean room.
The components are light enough for anyone to lift and assemble using internally mounted rotary clamps and fasteners. Parts are interchangeable and easy to maneuver.

Zuken and UK-based Quadra Solutions have launched starturn, a part list management add-on tool for CADSTAR.
starturn offers four core areas of functionality to enhance post-design documentation within the desktop PCB design environment. This includes advanced export functionality for BOMs, enhanced drill drawing exports and report generation, assembly drawing creation and a new "where used" search capability. This tool allows designers to compile design-derived manufacturing and purchasing reports in minutes rather than hours.
BOMs can be exported into various file formats, including html, Microsoft Excel and XML, and for a fully tailored output, users can specify which design fields should be included.
Drill drawing functionality is more extensive in this tool. It will generate drill tables within the PCB design, eliminating the need to cut and paste from drill reports. Mark-up of drill holes can also be carried out various ways within the design.
Has improved assembly drawing generation. Circuit references, for example, can be sited in multiple places within the design, through the association of attributes. Searching for parts within the parts library is also more expansive, with functionality that allows a user to select any part and search within any file directory. This is useful when managing parts obsolescence.

XJIO expansion board improves test coverage and fault diagnosis on complex printed
circuits, checks power rail levels and can eliminate custom test jigs.
The board improves the test coverage for a Unit Under Test (UUT) by verifying the signals through to the external connections. In the event of a board failure, fault diagnosis times can be reduced by as much as half, as the board eradicates the need for loopbacks and cable swapping.
Has 208 digital and 16 analogue (8xADCs and 8xDACs) I/Os, provides customers developing JTAG and non-JTAG boards with a reusable alternative to traditional test fixtures.
“The XJIO board was developed predominantly for testing circuits with large amounts of digital I/O such as on network cards - particularly if the board has more outputs than inputs or vice-versa,” said Dominic Plunkett, CTO. “It features over 200 digital I/Os and this density can be expanded to many thousands by daisy-chaining the XJIO boards together using the reconfigurable external JTAG connector.”
Can be powered from USB, for quick and portable test setup. If more than 80mA of current is required, there is a connector for a standard 12V power supply. All connectors are standard IDC. Switches and LEDs enable additional test control.
