The Y.Cheetah combines x-ray technology with high-speed flat panel detection. Features synchronized
tube and detector motion for constant image contrast at high resolution. Repositions imaging components at constant magnification for higher contrast and power, lower noise, or fast imaging and 3-D scanning. Both are one-click steps. Offers 2-D to high-speed 160 kV, 64W microfocus computed
tomography (µCT). Inspection area is 18" x 16" (460
x 410 mm) and can be viewed at ±70° even at the highest geometric
magnification.
GoSelective selective soldering system now comes with a
fiducial recognition function with automatic PCB alignment. Registers PCB to be
soldered optically and compensates for various types of misalignment such as
offset, rotational error and linear shrinkage within the PCB. Wrongly placed
PCBs are detected and are not soldered. Up to three fiducial marks are selected
in a learning procedure. Captures images of these fiducials and memorizes their
location. The machine moves to the previously memorized positions automatically
and captures PCB image. The correlation between this actual live image and the
learned image is calculated and gives a correction value for each fiducial. Can
then calculate offset, rotation and linear shrinkage of the PCB compared to the
board used for the learning procedure. Generates a position correction for each
production board. Contains an error-proof function that checks the loading of
the correct soldering program and controls each board for positioning.
LMF Series Fiber Laser Markers are capable of making
contrasting marks on plastics, and annealing and engraving metals. Pulse
waveform of LMF2000 reportedly makes the marker the ideal tool to make fine cuts
in copper, steel or aluminum up to 0.02" thick. Enables prototyping of
lead frame, other featured sheet parts or steel tubes. Can be used to modify an
existing design. Uses no direct assist gas. Can be tuned for speed and quality
with an underside burr of less than 0.0005".
The VT-S700 inline AOI system uses a telecentric lens with a 2-MP camera. Is said to reduce image distortion and improve inspection accuracy at the edges of large field-of-view. Delivers inspection of up to 10 µm for components as small as 01005 and down to -0.012" pitch. Uses three-color highlight system that illuminates PCB in a 360° dome. 3-CCD camera enhances solder shape recognition accuracy. Other features include color-enhancing capability, integrated graphical user interface and logic customization. Optical character verification is available. Resolution can be selected for 10, 15 or 20 µm. Separate models are available to handle 10 x 13" and 18 x 20" boards.
Elpeguard SL 1307 conformal coatings are
yellowing-resistant, and based on polyacrylic resins. The cured lacquer film
can be removed with thinner for repair purposes. Are thixotropic, based on SL
1307 FLZ, which is suited for the partitioning/covering of plug connectors.
Have been improved for spray application; can also be used for dipping at
higher temperatures. Exhibit good wetting.
The XD7600NT100 digital x-ray inspection system
has 0.1 µm feature recognition for finite analysis of inspection applications.
Is equipped with a 2M pixel camera; offers oblique angle viewing of up to 70°
in any position around any point of a 16 x 18" inspection area. Is
configured with dual monitors: combines a 24" widescreen LCD monitor with
the navigation map on a 20" flat panel LCD display. Is available with a
tube combining 10W of power and submicron feature recognition. Can be equipped with CT providing 3-D
modeling and volumetric measurement of solder joints. Is suited for analytical
analysis of solder interconnections for critical applications such as stacked
die, MEMS, package-in-package and package-on-package.
