This pilot-run n=1 checker fault detection tester is for printed circuit board assemblies. Finds mounting faults. Test results are automatically recorded and used for data management and quality assurance purposes. PCBAs are tested with a combination of probes for automatic impedance measurements and passive component judgments. Visual inspection function performs mounting status checks on each component. Test Program Generator automatically creates test data for specific part numbers. Is available in two format sizes, both desktop models.

IS-T-300 all-in-one selective fluxing and soldering system comes with laser-controlled wave height compensation, jet-fluxing, and CAD data import. Handles double-sided and mixed technology PCBs up to 300 x 500mm, with an option for 460 x 700mm boards. All-titanium solder pot and pump assembly is compatible with either lead-free or eutectic SnPb solder. Heavy duty, X-, Y-, Z-axis drive mechanism ensures repeatable, point-to-point and continuous soldering.  360° wettable nozzles with diameters from 3 to 14mm produce precise, miniature waves that can be programmed to a 0.5mm minimum clearance from adjacent components. Jet fluxer dispenses points or continuous streams of alcohol- or water-based flux through a 0.2mm nozzle.
