FUJI has added two= new heads to the existing line-up for the NXT-II machine platform.<= /p> |
|
With the introduction of these new heads, FUJI NXT- II continues to meet the demands = of modern production environments. Head change out is fast and simple= , enabling the changeover of a complete production line in just minut= es. Existing modules can be upgraded with these heads, increasing cap= ability and speed without the need to purchase additional modules or machin= es.

scan and power up test make the = flying prober a continually evolving test tool to satisfy the demanding tes= t needs of the production and depot repair markets.
In the market today, there are instances of large 'bone p= iles' of boards that require many hours of debug and testing by skilled sen= ior technicians or engineers to return them to operational condition. The I= C Thermal Detection Unit capabilities allows for precise thermal measuremen= t of the IC or other components while the part is powered up even under low= voltage conditions.

Conformal coating is becoming a larger issue = in our industry. Increased demand, combined with condensed board layo= uts has resulted in bottlenecks and cost inflation at conformal coat statio= ns. Considering the cost of Kapton tape and employee overhead in= volved in taping a board, combined with increasing failures due to human er= ror, a cost effective solution to this problem is necessary.
InsulFab PCB Tooling has the solution for you= r conformal coat applications. InsulFab, an industry leader in innova= tive tooling designs for many of the traditionally tooled processes, such a= s wave, SMT, press fit and routing fixtures, is excited about the developme= nt of solutions for the conformal coat process.
The combination of research, application= testing and machining expertise has allowed InsulFab to create a range of = solutions for your application based on factors such as: |

Cluso - A New Trend In PCB Inspection |
|
There is growing interest in First Article Inspection usi= ng an optical system in place of, or to compliment AOI. Cluso special= izes in this area with the A301 machine. |
|
Zero programming and a high resolution image help your in= spectors guarantee that all the components match the BOM.
Enhanced machine features can improve or eliminate areas = of manual inspection such as: ·&= nbsp;= Audit inspection ·&= nbsp;= Final inspection ·&= nbsp;= Mechanical inspection |
|
·&= nbsp;= Box build inspection ·&= nbsp;= Through-hole inspection
Detailed reports are generated for all inspections provid= ing documentation and traceability.
Component shortages and long lead times have many custome= rs buying from multiple suppliers. The random markings make it diffic= ult and slow to confirm if the alternate components are correct. Clus= o addresses this issue by incorporating an AVL database containing the manu= facturer part numbers, description and a component picture displaying the a= lternate markings.
Digitizing coordinates can also be done within Cluso so P= CBs, mechanical assemblies or box builds can be inspected in specific locat= ions.
