Are noncontact and are said to eliminate the need for precise height positioning and z-axis movement. Are reportedly ideal for dispensing a wide range of low- to high-viscosity assembly fluids on products with uneven substrates or in hard-to-access areas, at speeds up to 150 dots per sec., with shot size starting at 0.002 µl (2 nl). EFD Inc., efd-inc.com Booth 1470 Flexible, Scalable Mounter Platform SM400 series is scalable and modular with a space-efficient design. The SM411 dynamic chipshooter places at a rate of 42,000 cph handling components from 01005 through 14 mm2, while the SM421 advanced flexible mounter handles components from 55 mm2 up to 72 mm2 SMT connectors at placement speeds up to 21,000 cph. Samsung/Dynatech, dynatechsmt.com Booth 859 N2-Free Pb-Free Solder Paste XF3 Pb-free solder paste reportedly accommodates extended reflow profiles without use of nitrogen. Is based on patented SN100C alloy, which reportedly has demonstrated long-term fatigue strength over silver-containing SAC-alloys. Is said to remedy copper migration into tin regions of the solder joint. Wetting on all common metal surfaces is said to be excellent. Prints at 150-200-mm per sec.
