These electrostatic dissipative workstations are certified to meet specific electrical property requirements; said to ensure static dissipation at a safe rate. Pedestals and workbench components can be protected by static dissipative powder-coat finishes available in three standard colors. Feature work surfaces and shelves with static dissipative plastic laminate; have ground bolts with a 12' grounding cord. Can be configured in a variety of heights and lengths, with cabinet pedestals and/or legs.

The X3 3-D x-ray system inspects PCBs with BGAs and other hidden solder joints. Gathers multiple oblique images to construct a rendering used in identifying solder and component-related defects on both single and double-sided boards. Selectively uses 2-D or 3-D to inspect specific regions. Permits discrimination between top and bottom sides of boards. A typical inspection program is said to be created in fewer than 45 min. Reportedly is suited for inline or offline applications. Has remote programming and real-time SPC software.

Slic Blade line squeegee blades are said to form a surface with low surface energy. Provide 100% electroformed nickel. Solid electroformed nickel reportedly will not chip or flake. Are said to provide lowest wiping pressure and longest blade life; enhanced stencil life and the least stencil damage. Eliminate solder paste sticking and shearing against the blade.

ElectroLaser stencils offer the precision of laser-cut apertures and paste release properties of 100% electroformed nickel. Do not contain the trace elements that are liberated to the aperture walls, causing increased surface roughness. Offer the natural lubricity of electroformed nickel, which improves fine-pitch print consistency. Have a thickness tolerance of ±8% of material thickness selected, and are suitable for applications with surface area ratios to 0.55. Feature positional accuracy of ±0.008% and an aperture dimensional tolerance of ±8 µm (0.0003"). Come in standard material thicknesses of 0.003, 0.004, 0.005 and 0.006". Additional thicknesses available upon request.

The BOMcheck.net web database system enables companies to upload substances declarations to a single location for access by all participating manufacturers. Permits electronics producers to reduce the industry burden of ensuring REACH and RoHS compliance by compiling a centralised master database of substance data from suppliers. Will reportedly reduce costs by providing a central location for sharing data with
multiple manufacturers.

Slic laser-cut stencil is said to have mechanical and thermal properties of standard stainless steel, but superior paste release and aperture wall smoothness. Incorporate a base material with a denser grain structure said to result in fewer voids and the same tensile and yield strength as stainless steel. Have a repeatability of ±16 µm and are suitable for applications with surface area ratios of 0.55 and above. Featuring a positional accuracy of ±12.5 µm (over 600 x 600 mm) and an aperture dimensional tolerance of ±9 µm, the following standard material thicknesses are available: 0.004, 0.005, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008, 0.009 and 0.010". Additional thicknesses available upon request.
