iMonitor 2.0 enables creation of real-time dashboards to monitor the enterprise, factory, and lines in real-time through web browsers. Creates unlimited numbers of interactive and real-time production tracking, materials, utilization and quality dashboards. Dashboards are constructed by dragging-and-dropping gauges, charts and other active elements into a design view, along with graphics such as line pictures or plant drawings. Can activate each element by indicating the xLink data source. Users link any gauge or chart in one dashboard to another dashboard, creating a dashboard site structure for unlimited interactivity. Permits building of slide shows of multiple dashboards that rotate at user-defined time intervals.

Performs surface profile, roughness, 3D and comparative measurements. 3D display works with the virtual trackball method and a computer mouse to control viewing angle, lighting angle, zoom level and Z-axis height. 3D images can be illuminated with pseudo-light. VK-Viewer, VK-Analyzer and VK-Assembler are available software programs. An optional adjustable stand permits measurement of objects up to 3.94". Larger stages for wafers up to 11.81", electric stages for automatic image assembly, and a separate measuring head are available.
Laser cut stencils are said to deliver aperture definition and superior dimensional tolerances for pitch apertures down to 0.016". On a 600 x 600 mm area, it reportedly is possible to cut features with an aperture of ±9 µm and a positional tolerance of ±12.5 µm. Permits cutting of circular pads with a diameter of 30 to 800 µm. The LPKF MultiCut is designed for the best possible metal stencil cutting quality; permits minimum apertures of 40 µm diameter.
The free V7.01 IPC-7351 Land Pattern Calculator is said to generate results that match the LP Viewer library documentation. Component families that have been added: aluminum electrolytic capacitors; 2-pin crystals, and land grid arrays. Is a scaled-down version of the LP Wizard. Calculates CAD library parts that comply with the latest IPC-7351 revision.
Nonlinear vector network analyzer is for the PNA-X microwave network analyzer. Features nonlinear component characterization, nonlinear scattering X-parameters, and nonlinear pulse envelope domain capabilities. Can measure the calibrated amplitude and cross-frequency relative phase of measured spectra from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Component characterization is enabled by measuring and displaying both the amplitude and phase of the full spectra in the PNA-X network analyzer. Data can be displayed in time, frequency, power or user-defined custom domains.
The Reprint R23 Semi Automatic Screen Printer is designed to take stencil sizes up to a max. of 23". Has Windows-based interface. Large pad areas, BGAs and 01005 pad sizes are said to be easily handled. Features include 23" standard frame; closed loop servo motion control; dual squeegee print carriage; vertical motion profile for stencil/PCB separation; interlocks incorporated for safe operation; twin camera vision system for ultra-fine pitch printing; Mylar alignment aid, and a 17" LCD TFT flat screen monitor.
The EL environmental enclosure is 27" x 27" x 45". Reportedly provides a stable test environment by blocking energy emitted by ambient environment and blocking air currents generated by heating and A/C ducts. A motorized camera slide and controller position camera for model board comparison and short circuit tests. Has platform with adjustable PCB mounts. Board sizes up to 22" x 20". Detects and locates PCBA defects, such as short circuits and stressed components; can be used to verify PCBA functionality.
Eco-Plus S03X7C-56M Pb-free wire is said to reduce or eliminate flux splatter, joint overheating and solder tip erosion and carbonization, while also improving wetting and solder joint strength. Reportedly reduces tip consumption caused by traditional Pb-free wires.
The ProcessMate PM100 vacuum pickup system lifts and positions small or delicate parts in benchtop assembly processes. Designed as a pick-and-place tool for use with Performus fluid dispensers; permits positioning of parts with one hand and application of adhesives, solder pastes and other assembly fluids with the other. Both use the same size cabinet. Options include a double foot pedal that controls the dispenser and vacuum system, and a finger switch for manual operation.
SR-37 LFM-22S no-clean cored solder wire is said to enhance cost-efficiency and yield through a range of tip-saving properties. For applications that don’t require silver.
