Series 303 Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench provides a Class 100 or Class 10 clean air environment for laboratory work, testing, manufacturing, inspection or pharmaceutical operations. The cabinets are designed for quiet operation, with a typical sound level of approx. 65dbA. Sound levels vary depending on the size of the unit.
Has an open front work area for placement in front of equipment or as a stand-alone unit that is useful for vibration-sensitive work. HEPA filters provide horizontal laminar flow air that washes out particulates and prevents contamination of the clean work zone. Features clean edge construction that puts the hood in shear with the media edge of the HEPA filter. This reduces turbulence along the sides of the hood, improving the laminar flow and preventing contamination infiltration around the perimeter of the hood.
Feature all-metal construction with a Vinclad exterior for durability. Two white fluorescent lamps with an energy-efficient ballast illuminate the work area. A clear polycarbonate hood provides a controlled work area and assists in directional air flow. Uses a HEPA FLEX duct system to provide air flow from the blower to the HEPA filter. The duct system, along with the cabinet blower, provides a negative pressure area on the cabinet interior.
Options include a removable perforated HEPA filter protective grill, a safety glass hood, an extended hood (no built-in table) and ultraviolet germicidal lamps.

MSX 80 and MSX 90 are cost effective machines for manual inspection of PCBs and components. The MSX line replaces the previous MXR series.
The automated system MSX 2000 A will be presented during the SMT/Hybrid/ Packaging show. The fully automated inspection system has automated test program generation and inspection. Fully automated load and unload capacity options are available.
MSX Image software allows a complete calibration of the x-ray system, off-axis inspection and enhanced image processing.
MSX 3000 series have 2-D transmission and 2-D off-axis mode, as well as real 3-D inspection (Laminography). A real 3-D reconstruction delivers a complete set of slices through the tested object –in common production cycle times.
An off-line version of this system family will be at the SMT show in Nuremberg. An in-line version is in development.

Newark InOne, a small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in North America, has launched its exclusive RoHS catalog as an interactive online vehicle. The catalog (at newarkinone.com) features 40,000 RoHS-compliant products.
Engineers and component buyers can search by part number or description, evaluate products and buy them. The catalog groups components by type (rather than brand) for easy comparison, and includes a detailed guide to RoHS compliance.
Pages can be turned one by one, or the user may jump to any product category on the index: semiconductors, passive components, interconnect/wire & cable, electromechanical/power/circuit protection, optoelectronics or soldering. A page can be flagged with an electronic note and emailed to colleagues or purchasing departments.
The catalog also features helpful tool tips. "Most component manufacturers changed
their part numbers when they released their RoHS compliant versions," remarks Susan Fischer, senior vice president marketing/eCommerce, Newark InOne. "By scrolling over a part number, a pop-up window with the old part number will appear. This helps our customers to confirm that they are buying the right part."
Manufacturers in the catalog include: Texas Instruments, On Semi, Maxim/Dallas, IR, National, Intersil, AMD, Fairchild, Freescale, Avago, Kester, Littelfuse, Honeywell, Tyco, Molex and Amphenol.

TheLabelDispenser line of semiautomatic electric label dispensers is built with durable photo sensors to increase speed and accuracy along production lines. Durably designed with an all-metal construction to perform in industrial environments.
Eliminate several steps in manufacturing by advancing labels, separating them from their lining and positioning each label for the operator to remove. As the operator takes the label, a solid state photo sensor detects its absence, the spool is wound forward and the next label is presented for removal. The sensor makes no contact with the labels.
Includes 18 machines that can dispense labels from .125 to 12” long and from .25 to 8” wide. Each dispenser can perform on a range of dimensions, as the specifications can be customized by moving the adjustable photo sensor.
Can be used in product identification, packaging and assembly.

Legex 574 CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine offers ultra-high accuracy (MPEE = [0.35+L/1000] µm); a measuring range of X: 510 mm, Y: 710 mm, Z: 455 mm; traverse speed of 200 mm/sec.; and robust worktable loading capacity. Applications include measurement of large lenses to inspection of metallic molds, engine blocks and similar components, whether in production runs, or small lots.
Is driven by MCOSMOS (Mitutoyo Controlled Open System for Modular Operation Support) software with modules supporting virtually every CAD format while providing routines for in-line measurement, data feedback and process management. MCOSMOS reportedly makes training easy and intuitive.
Spheroidal graphite ductile cast iron is used for the chassis which, together with air-damped spring isolators, effectively attenuate vibration. FEM (Finite Element Modeling) analysis optimizes its configuration to ensure geometric accuracy by minimizing the deformations caused by normal machine operations. Thermally-stable components and real-time temperature compensation maintain high accuracy, even under a range of operating temperatures (64.4° to 71.6°F / 18° to 22°C).
A variety of probes is supported including contacting scanning and touch-trigger as well as laser and vision.

Keeping Pb-bearing and Pb-free solders separate while transitioning to Pb-free manufacturing is easy with swappable solder pots, a feature of KISS selective soldering systems.
Craig Curk, national sales manager, notes that “most customers are ordering two solder pots, one for lead-based, one for no-lead. The pots are clearly marked and color-coded to prevent mix-ups that can result in cross- contamination. Each pot is equipped with its own solder pump and solder delivery systems; extra nozzles are ordered separately.”
Changeover between pots is fast and simple. The nitrogen supply is removed via a "quick connect” fitting, pump power is removed and reattached with power plug, and re-heating from a cold start takes about an hour.
Applications include assembly, prototyping and rework, post-reflow offline assembly and other soldering applications such as odd-form devices.
