CADSTAR, Zuken's Windows-based desktop PCB design solution, is available in promotional bundles for the Americas.
The product bundle includes the enhanced version of the desktop PCB Design Suite with a six-layer autorouter that contains the necessary tools to design a PCB from concept to final manufacturing output. The Professional product bundle, targeting high-speed PCB design applications, combines the Basic features plus the advanced tools needed for the entire PCB design to manufacturing process.
The Basic bundle includes schematics and analog/digital simulation, design and library editor functionality, the ability to create design views to share data with non CADSTAR users and Gerber file editing. Optional add-ons include variant management, 3-D editing and viewing, signal integrity simulation and Rules-by-Area and High-Speed Routing.
Functionality within the Professional bundle includes high-speed delay-constrained automatic multi-pass and interactive placement and routing, that enables the design of multi-layer boards with an unlimited number of pins, and automatic routing of differential pairs while avoiding cross talk. The bundle includes 3-D design and variant management, EMC checks and Gerber file editing standard, with optional Rules-by-Area and signal integrity verification tools.

ALPHA EF-8000 lead-free, no-clean wave solder flux technology is said to provide excellent first pass yields, worry free in-circuit testability and electrical reliability in both lead-free and tin lead wave soldering applications.
IPC rated ROL0, exceeds the Bellcore and JIS standards for electromigration and surface insulation resistance, as well as more stringent electromigration and bulk insulation resistance requirements from leading OEM's.
"ALPHA EF-8000...withstands the higher PWB surface temperatures required for successful lead-free soldering, but it is fully capable for use in standard tin-lead applications," said Mitch Holtzer, Global Product Manager at CEAM. "In addition, it can be qualified now for emerging lead-free requirements, and used in lead-free or tin lead production lines."
Low rosin content minimizes flux residue build up on pallets and wave soldering equipment normally associated with high (>10%) rosin flux formulas.

Leica INS300 fits the demands of IC manufacturers for equipment with optimized price/performance ratio.
Designed based on the field-proven INS3300 inspection and review system, successfully used in production for almost four years and takes the increased price and cost pressure in the semiconductor industry into consideration. Provides manual inspection of 300 mm wafers. Can be integrated into 300-mm facilities for complete automation of the process flow, resulting in production runs of more than 150 wafers/hr.

All-pneumatic, double-acting valve is ideal for pump and meter-system inlet and outlet fluid-flow management. Has 3/4"-NPT inlet and outlet ports and is rated for 4,000 PSI. Can be used with a fluid regulator to stop bypass flow and maintain down-stream pressure after closing.
Also used as a high-viscosity or high-flow dispense valve in automated, repetitive or high-speed dispensing applications, such as fixtured automation or robot-tool-mounted dispensing. May be mounted to fixed or movable tooling or brackets and activated by automation, hand or footswitch actuator.
Features hardened internal components and wear-resistant seals. Available in stainless steel for dispensing highly corrosive materials.
Sealant Equipment & Engineering, www.sealantequipment.com
Provides incremental quadrature A/B output signals and an index output signal. The index signal represents a mechanical reference point, called the zero position, which can be programmed by the user at the system assembly stage. Operation safety is ensured by continuous monitoring of the magnet presence and the optimal magnet position in the system.
Features 64 pulses per revolution on each of the two quadrature output channels, for resolution of 2.8°/step over a full turn of 360°. Failure detection monitors the magnet's placement during the operation. In case of a missing or loose magnet, the device instantly provides a warning signal.
Operates at rotational speeds up to 10,000 revolutions/min., at either 3.3 or 5 V, without missing any incremental pulses. The zero position can be programmed by the user. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +125°C. Available in a lead-free SSOP 16 (5.3mm x 6.2mm) package.
