Aegis Europe will exhibit Mechanical CAD Module (MCAD) for CircuitCAM at Nepcon NEC, Birmingham at stand #H70. This system enhancement answers the increasing demand for an end-to-end NPI through MES solution supporting electronics assembly, system integration and box build. MCAD supports box and mechanical product documentation, tracking, quality and materials management as well as circuit card product launch and manufacturing execution. Customers may now support any discrete assembly processes—from circuit boards to full system level assembly—in a single information system.
MCAD functionality is inherently incorporated within Aegis’ Web-centric manufacturing execution system. Shop-floor operators can step through and drill into iView's existing sequential assembly process feature with intelligent cross-reference to the mechanical components. Supports multi-level assemblies and material setup validation at any work station; these assemblies are now better depicted in the visual aids.
Features and benefits include:
Support for common mechanical CAD vector file formats.
Simple digitizing allows 2-D capture from a 3-D drawing with the desired user-controlled perspective.
A mechanical Shape Library permits re-use of commonly used items and components.
A color-coded parts list display provides easy cross-referencing to the drawing in the same manner used for circuit board visual aids.

HawkEye will be displayed on DEK’s flexible Horizon 01i screen printing platform. This system delivers high-speed performance for any manufacturing requirement – from high-mix to high-volume advanced assemblies, including 0201 and CSP packages. Equipped with the Instinctiv user interface for user-friendly operator control, the ISCAN control area network to support advanced features and an optimized frame for mechanical and thermal stability, the Horizon 01i delivers a 10 sec. cycle time, process capability of 2.0 Cpk @ ± 25µm and a low cost of ownership.
When HawkEye print verification is combined with the Hoizon 01i, the system becomes even more versatile. Isolates errors through good/bad verification set against user-defined, pre-set thresholds. Streamed images, instead of successive still images, are analyzed and any defective boards are identified and removed in real-time. Has 100% post-print verification at line beat rate with no programming required.

The iFlux is a magnetically controlled, air-driven spray fluxer. Its clean design makes it easy to use and maintain. Can handle most fluxes, including the new fluxes optimized for lead-free soldering.
Triple layer design features an air-driven, high precision Titanium nozzle with adjustable cone. The motion of the nozzle spray angle and the volume of flux are computer controlled with a password-protected touchpad. The nozzle is 30 mm from the board surface.
The air driven nozzle reportedly sprays a uniform, well defined flux deposit with excellent wicking. Has the velocity and volume control necessary to penetrate through-hole assemblies. Operates within tight parameters, leaving little overspray. Stores all the parameters for each job in its computerized control box so the operator can easily call up the correct settings for each production run
Can fit internally into most soldering machines with the control box either incorporated into the
existing machine or mounted externally. Or the entire spray fluxer and control box can be external.

Fluid Dispenser Pen increases precision in fluid dispensing and eliminates the mess associated with dispensing bottles. The chisel point, spring-loaded tip allows users to determine the amount of liquid to be dispensed, thus reducing waste and chemical exposure.
While primarily used for flux dispensing, can also be used to dispense solvents, lubricants, masking, RMA chemistries, adhesives and water-based liquids. Prevents evaporation of material and conforms to current regulations for controlling substances capable of evaporation hazard. A dispensing valve prevents flooding and spattering, and releases liquid in controlled amounts to the nib.
The two parts (cap and reservoir) are easily assembled. The reservoir should be filled with material to within 19 mm (0.75”) of the top; this air chamber allows for the valve cap to be pressed securely in position. Priming is achieved by depressing the nib while the pen is vertical.
Can be used for rework and touch up soldering, as well asdistribution of solvents, lubricants, masking, RMA chemistries, adhesives and water-based liquids.
Fluid Dispenser with Brush Tip consists of a polypropylene cartridge with a fine nylon brush tip, and has a capacity of 7 cc. The fine brush tip allows users to reach small areas with increased accuracy. The transparent cartridge allows the user to view the level of remaining material, and as applying light pressure to either side of the barrel dispenses the fluid, the user has complete control over the amount of fluid being dispensed.

Non-Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTC) provides efficient thermal coupling of electrical and electronic components. Provides non-creep characteristics and thermal conductivity even at high temperatures: 0.9 W/m.K. Has a broad operating temperature range (-50º to +130º) and offers low toxicity. HTC Plus (HTCP) provides even higher thermal conductivity at 2.8 W/m.K with superior heat transfer characteristics.
Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTSP) is a thermally conductive paste for special applications where thermal management is critical. Operates from -50º to +200º, is a metal oxide filled silicone oil providing thermal conductivity at 3.0W/m.K.
The flame retardant ER 2074 epoxy resin exhibits thermal conductivity and is free of abrasive fillers such as alumina. Ensures less wear on mix and dispense and other processing equipment. Shows low viscosity when mixed and the exotherm temperature rise on curing is low.
Aquacoat Plus eliminates the need for extraction and other precautions normally required for the application of conventional solvent-based conformal coatings. The aqueous conformal coating is non-flammable, contains low levels of VOCs and no isocyanates, so it can be soldered through without fear of highly toxic gases being produced. Is phenol-free, so is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate. Based on polymeric materials, offers adhesion on a variety of substrates and a wide operating temperature range. Available in two formulations: WBP is the standard product and WBPS (Sprayable) is for use in selective film coating equipment. Is DEF-STAN, MIL and IPC-CC-830 and RoHS compliant.
Flexible Lead-Free Conformal Coating (LFCC) is transparent and fast drying. Designed to protect electronic circuitry processed with lead-free soldering products, it provides adhesion to lead-free flux and fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection. Can be soldered through without highly toxic gases being produced and is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate.
