The Peltier series Thermoelectric Temperature Controller controls fluid temperature of adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other materials in meter, mix and dispensing systems. Uses Peltier-Seebeck effect to directly convert electrical voltage to thermal differentials. This effect, which is reversible, is said to either heat or cool fluid materials with precision to the temperature set point. Device, temperature sensor and temperature control are mounted to a manifold where fluid passes through. Manifolds can be mounted inline or on fluid dispensing equipment. May also include accessories such as fluid pressure sensors, fluid pressure gauges and inlet and outlet flow control valves.

EasyPro3D programming software is said to offer simplified inspection-routine parameterizing, a fully IPC-compliant LIB2007 inspection library, and a newly designed repair station. A shortened parameter list reportedly allows high-inspection quality and low false alarm rates. A reworked standard delivers compact, preset, IPC-compliant parameter sets, reducing the number of parameters that need to be adjusted by a reported 75%. Contains nearly 1,600 component types. Automatic Parameter Optimization can now be used with nearly all inspection algorithms. The repair station contains a ”ValidCompare” mode. For every defect image recognized, another defect-free image is offered. Includes integrated “TrustedChange” verification.

SEMTest is a configurable stress-screening system able to perform lifetime testing of power semiconductors and modules incorporating IGBT, MOSFET, SCR, diode and bipolar parts. Is said to be ideal for manufacturers and users of power semiconductors who want to qualify commercial off-the-shelf devices for use in high-reliability applications. The core is a flexible architecture that can be modified. Standard systems can be configured from 20 to 1000 test cells; larger systems are available on special order. Each cell features its own local controller to set and monitor applied or UUT power and other test parameters; has a measurement unit for temperature, current, voltage, and timing.

The Green Monster ESD stencil wiping roll is Pb-free compatible and antistatic. Said to prevent sparks that can damage components and cause voids in solder traces. Uses coarse ESD fibers. Fabric is said to have an aggressive cleaning surface. Reportedly provides more voids to collect solder paste, as opposed to smearing that results from using paper. Is made of a cross-linked acrylic polymer that bonds the fibers together. Porous product permits full use of the vacuum system.

This environmentally safe circuit board cleaner will replace former cleaners that required special handling and disposal. Is nonflammable. Reportedly cleans better than previous solutions in most applications and without the need for fume evacuation or special toxic handling. Developed specifically for cleaning circuits and components to eliminate leakage through residue or contaminants. Said to work well on boards in high frequency and low voltage applications where contaminants cause failure. Available in liquid concentrate and is suitable for high-volume circuit board production equipment and special hand-cleaning applications.
