FlexSolder S3532 is for high-speed stamp soldering a controlled nitrogen atmosphere. Is said to provide advantages over typical multi-flow types; does not use any pumps, and is fast and clean, with no overspray. Top and bottom contour plates keep the PCB in place in X, Y and Z, and control board warpage caused by either previous double-sided reflow or the PCB characteristics. Requires minimal programming; no CAD, Gerber or other data needed.

RED-E-SET board support reportedly can reduce component damage caused by misaligned bottom-side board support tooling or placement pressures. Is for screen printers, dispensers and automated assembly machines. Can reportedly be configured in fewer than three minutes. Is said to provide zero defects; eliminates board flex using a spring-loaded support pin system.

The 10W x-ray tube is said to have submicron feature recognition. Uses sealed-transmissive x-ray tube technology, providing user-selectable choice of 100 nm feature recognition at up to 4W across the tube kV range. Reportedly offers x-ray flux at the best resolution; ideal for imaging slight density variation and for improved computerized tomography analysis. Is available in XD7600NT100 digital x-ray inspection system, which can be equipped with CT providing 3-D modeling, measurements and virtual microsectioning of solder joints; said to be suited for analytical analysis of solder interconnections for stacked die, MEMS, package-in-package and package-on-package.
