Hardware capabilities include an increase in vertical travel speed from 29 in./sec. to 55 in./sec.; specialty trays in widths up to 157" (98" standard) and weight capacities up to 1100 lbs (880 lbs standard).
An integrated parts lookup table enables the operator to search for a part number and then have the module automatically retrieve the tray where the part is stored.
Other control modifications include new screen designs on the unit's touch-screen keypad. Additional software control choices are also available.
Rack-and-pinion drive allows pinpoint retrieval of item trays without adjustment. Available in heights from 10 to 50', features options such as a tilt-tray up to 45°, a lift system that adjusts the height of the pick tray and a lockable powered door.

HYSCAN is based on a new hardware-independent emulation method and relieves the user from the entire handling of serial-to-parallel vectors. Test program generation and fault diagnosis can be done without knowing the type of test access. The parallel test vectors are connected with the individually configured pin electronic by means of Wrapper Modules. By exchanging these modules, the parallel vectors can be linked to the required pin electronic without re-compilating the test program. The first supported pin electronic are the parallel I/O modules PXI 5296 and PXI 52192 with 96 and 192 test channels, respectively.
The Component Explorer is a graphical tool for the interactive generation and manipulation of intelligent design data. Unknown components and complete component cluster can be defined and implemented into the database. Is directly linked with Scan Vision tools for the visualization of schematic and layout as well as the graphical library.
The Navigator tool for the interactive user guidance gives support in terms of hyperlinks, videos or topic related documents.
The new version is downwards compatible to all previous versions and supports all Boundary Scan controllers on basis of VXI, PXI, PCI, USB, GPIB, Parallel Port, RS232 and Fast Ethernet.

New style spray system increases wash solution impact pressure 5X over previous models. Nozzle's spray angle is decreased from 50° to 15°, and the flow rate is increased by approximately 60%.
New style spray arm doubles the quantity of spray nozzles. Uses 10 nozzles arranged to create 10 concentric spray patterns.
New oscillating board rack eliminates blind spots by creating infinite impingement angles. The stroke of the oscillating board rack is approximately equal to the nozzle spacing, creating multi-directional impingement.
New multi-stage spray pump designs provide increased pump performance and efficiency. The pumps are optimized for pump utilization, longer pump life and lower electrical costs.

Standard connectors feature .002" (0.05 mm) wide conductors on .004 " (0.1 mm) centers for a conductor density of 250 per inch. Despite the fine geometry of the contacts, the material is said to be strong and durable enough to withstand repeated uses and will not break or fracture.
Z-Axis Connector Co., zaxisconnector.com
Said to provide cost-effective protection without a substantial investment in process changes and redesign, while maintaining the high yield and throughput required by electronic assemblers. The reusable custom-fitted caps keep semiconductor packages below 245°C or 260°C and minimize temperature variation within packages from over 10°C down to 2-5°C, while minimizing warpage, popcorning and delamination.
Can be used in no-clean, water-soluble or RMA processes as a temporary heat sink that can be placed on components either by hand or with existing pick-and-place equipment. No adhesive is required and no residue is left on boards or components. Can be designed to cool the package body, allowing reflow underneath, or to "overcool" - preventing reflow in cases such as adjacent packages during rework.

Recent test results have validated the superior moisture resistance of protective coating PC10882, a mineral-filled epoxy dielectric material designed to be screen-printed onto a range of substrates as a protective coating for trimmed resistors and general circuit protection. The cured film is tough and offers protection against thermal shock, solvent attack, moisture, abrasion, oxidation and plating processes.
Although a proven solution in the marketplace for almost a decade, recent tests conducted over the last year surpass expectations in moisture and temperature resistance.
Moisture testing involved saturation in a pressure cooker for one hour before dipping into dip in 260°C solder pot and then performing a tape adhesion test.
