Productronica Product Preview • Nov. 13-16, 2007 HIGH RESOLUTION CT SYSTEM DIGITAL SOLDER MASK PRINTING Printar Ltd. launches the first-ever digital solder mask printing system. Digital printing opens new capabilities in PCB printing. It can lower production costs and shorten process times. According to Printar, this innovation in inkjet printing can totally replace current printing, coating, exposure and drying systems with a simple, one-step process. Printar’s system combines superb registration accuracy with zero tolerance and also nets appreciable savings on ink by applying it to board topology with proprietary conformal coating technology and by keeping via holes free of solder mask. WHO: Printar Ltd., printar.com UV-CURING OVEN The Beltron BE – K 35/120W oven is designed for curing conformal coatings in high-speed PCB production. Increasing requirements afford conformal coatings on assembled boards. UV-curing coatings, resins, glues and all other UV-products can be cured within seconds after the application, and the next production step can be done immediately. Comes with one or two UV-units (120 W/cm²); an adjustable UV-power control; selective filter reflectors to reduce component temperature; and pin-chain transport width, adjustable for single- and double-sided assembled boards. WHO: Beltron GmbH, beltron.de The microme|x combines proven highresolution 2D X-ray inspection and 3D CT technology in one system at a unique price-performance ratio.This new awardwinning system comes standard with an ultra-high-performance 180 kV X-ray tube for sub-micron feature recognition <1 µ; a high-resolution 2 Mpixel digital image chain; and a high-contrast 24” flat display. Outstanding image quality, great versatility and phoenix|x-ray’s own, unparalleled software make the microme|x the new inspection solution of choice for manual and automated Xray inspection (AXI) of a wide range of components in the semiconductor and electronics industries.
