OmniFlex 10 reflow ovenis said to feature advanced heating and cooling transfer technologies, energy efficient design concepts and reduced maintenance requirements.
Speedline will also mark the European launch of its XyflexProdispensing platform and spotlight its recently released Accela stencil printer at the show.
The dispensing platform features an advanced composite gantry design structure and linear drive system using the latest in motion control drive technology. The platform has the structural rigidity and control needed to attain the high performance capabilities and speed demanded by challenging manufacturing requirements while providing flexibility to accommodate applications in both the SMT and semiconductor industries.
The printing system’s parallel processing technology is refocusing the measurement of printer performance from base cycle time to total throughput. The system on display will have enhanced features such as a new software release, Grid-Lok and a barcode reader option for board-level SPC data and event tracking.
The company will also launch the next generation of its Vectra wave soldering system. The system features UltraFill nozzles, a High-Velocity Convection Topside preheat module and ServoJet fluxing technology.
SwifTest 5.2, the latest version of the real-time statistical sampling software suite for semiconductor testing, claims to reduce test cost and improve quality and test efficiency.
Includes thee primary optional modules: · SwifTest-Monitor captures test results in real-time from the tester and preprocesses the parametric data. With support for local, real-time alerts, it is a pre-requisite for Pintail’s sampling, outlier detection and TestScape database management system (DBMS). · SwifTest-MX, a patented, real-time, statistical sampling tool, has proven to reduce test time by up to 40% in mixed-signal production at probe and final test. · SwifTest-AQ outlier detection tool for reducing DPM by applying parts average testing in real-time; popular for automotive electronics at probe and final test.
New features include: Teradyne Flex ATE support; Part Average Testing (PAT) enhancements; Geographic Wafer Analysis option; SwifTest Commander; Device Profile Designer; Agilent Data Conduit; new triggers and alerts; and Lot Classification. Pintail Technologies, pintail.com
LFFR lead-free flux remover is a fast-drying solvent cleaner formulated
for the quick and efficient removal
of lead-free residues. Said to be effective on R, RA, RMA and no-clean
flux residues, and removes residues from SnPb soldering products. Comes
in a 400ml aerosol with integral brush, enabling the product to be
worked into areas of stubborn contamination. Features a 100%
ozone-friendly
solvent, and leaves a perfectly clean, dry surface, without the greasy
deposits
often left by conventional solvents.

LFCC lead-free conformal coating is designed for electronics circuitry
processed with Pb-free soldering
products. Is flexible, transparent and fast-drying and is said to work
within an
excellent operating temperature range. Is formulated to offer
excellent adhesion to Pb-free flux residues while maintaining the
high specification required of conformal coatings. Fluoresces under UV
light, for ease of inspection. Generates no highly toxic gases and is
noncorrosive to cadmium and zinc plate. Is
DEF-STAN, MIL and IPC-CC-830 approved and RoHS compliant.
Designed as a low cost interconnection between two perpendicular power bus bars, the Power Clip is used in “N+1” rectifier, power supply and switching power supply applications.
High-performance contact provides low-voltage drop and superior amperage carrying capability. Accepts a solid .125” thick nickel- or gold-plated rectangular bus bar tab, eliminating need for a mating connector.
Evaluated to UL1977 and CSA standard C22.2 No. 182.3-M1987, rated for up to 300 amps of continuous service. Is also UL-approved for true hot plug current interruption of 100A at 48V and 200A at 42V using a gold bus bar tab. Anderson Power Products,andersonpower.com
JTAG Technologies, a provider of boundary-scan tools, has announced a graphical software tool that supports the new SCANSTA476 analog voltage monitor from National Semiconductor Corp. STA476 Utility program works with an evaluation board from National Semiconductor to perform and report DC measurements on eight analog/mixed-signal input channels.
Measurement of mixed-signal levels can be a beneficial troubleshooting technique during product development, environmental screening, functional testing and in-field service to verify power supply and reference voltages. The technique can be used to perform health monitoring and prognostic functions while in operation, via an embedded boundary-scan structure.
The GUI allows selection of any of the eight analog inputs on the evaluation board. Measurements can then be conducted on the selected channel(s) using a preselected controller to initiate the test and access the results over a standard 1149.1 boundary-scan interface.
The utility program is available free-of-charge for customers at the Customer Service Area of the JTAG Technologies website. JTAG Technologies, jtag.com
