Eagle 8800 3D AOI has color imaging and reportedly no need for a microscope. Color imaging can identify features on the surface of the printed circuit board, from solder paste prints to lifted leads. Features 100% 3D AOI, a low false call rate, plus SPC capability; can be paired with TROI series 3D SPI.

SPV screen printer features an innovative board handling system for leveraging various production flow schemas to increase production efficiency. Print cycle time of 10 s*2 including the entire printing process (PCB transfer, recognition and cleaning) per substrate. Simultaneous printing operation and mask cleaning. Dual-lane system simultaneously processes front- and back-side printing by utilizing a common screen mask that includes both images. Eliminates need for additional conveyors.

S3X58-M650-7 solder paste is ICT-compatible and halogen-free. Reportedly has lower contact resistance and leaves less residue on probes compared to conventional products. Prevents buildup of flux residue on solder joint. Reduces amount of gas generated; minimizes amount of voids, especially for smaller pads. Melting point is 217° to 219°C.

S3X58-M555 halogen-free solder paste maintains activation by suppressing activator reaction at room temperature. Shows melt-ability during reflow process. Multiple activators have been encapsulated and blended. Withholding activation at room temperature, viscosity can be stabilized. Is said to show no deterioration on surface insulation resistance after 200 hr. on moisture cycle test. Wets and spreads without dewetting and inhibits head-in-pillow on BGAs. Is compatible with automotive applications.

NanoProof PCB water and oil protection products provide surface modification technology; treat printed circuit board to be repellent to water and/or oil, while maintaining functionality. Surface treatments are no-mask, solution-based hydro/oleophobic coatings done on an inline basis; deliver benefits of conformal coatings and avoid bottlenecking batch process. Offer range of PCB waterproofing solutions from protecting against accidental water damage (NanoProof 1.0) to IPX7, immersion in water at 1m depth for 30 min. (NanoProof 3.0,3.5,4.0), to barrier properties that can withstand 100 hr. immersion in sweat solutions, and test methods developed for non-hermetic components (NanoProof 5.0) . Electrical connections are not impacted; integrity of signal strength, antenna and acoustic performance remains intact. Use a mix of Proprietary Transition Metal Complexate technology and fluorinated acrylic polymers to be compatible with common material types used in SMT parts. Are sprayable or dip-based coatings; do not require a cure and reportedly have no impact on conductivity testing. Are available with UV tracer dye.
