Multicore LF600 is a halide-free, no-clean Pb-free solder paste formulated for humidity resistance and said to be ideal for varying manufacturing climates. Permits printing and reflow performance in temperatures up to 86°F with 80% relative humidity. Has been designed with a gelling component that enables zero hot slump. Delivers an open time of 24 hrs. and an abandon time of 4 hrs. Is available for stencil printing 0.4mm pitch QFP and 0.4mm CSP devices and can be used with surface finishes such as NiAu, immersion Sn, immersion Ag and OSP copper.

The PCT-100 Pre-heater Convection Tool is said to enhance process control during Pb-free hand assembly and rework. Uses convection air heating to maximize responsiveness and avoid temperature overshoot. Can be used with or without a board holder to perform hand assembly or rework tasks on surface mount or through-hole assemblies. Can be used with conventional SnPb and Pb-free solders. The unit reportedly ramps quickly to desired temperature, following a controlled slope to eliminate thermal shock to the board and components. The 10cfm fan fitted to the unit enhances heating and cooling. Has been designed for production environments worldwide, meeting international standards for ESD safety and maximum casing temperature.

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.
