With the emergence of new technologies, both from the
suppliers and the customer side of the business, there is an ever growing
need for new products to deal with requirements of the changing
technologies. Together with our principals, we would like to present
this page with an assortment of the newest solutions available and also some
of the most popular topics as well. We appreciate your input on any of
the listed products so that we can better serve you, our customer.
Cluso Visual Inspection System:
The Cluso Visual Inspection System is a unit that will help you at any
point in your process where you have someone visually inspecting your
product with a microscope. Often the system gets confused for an
AOI system, when it is not, as there are several key differences,
primarily AOI requires a lot of intensive programming (too tight and
everything fails - too loose and failures pass) and also AOI is
Automatically Inspecting the product, where as the Cluso unit is
providing the operator with a tool to properly document their inspection
of the product. The Cluso system requires NO PROGRAMMING!
Simply import the Centroid Data and the BOM Data and scan a golden board
and you are off and running! The system was designed around the
application of First Article Inspection and has grown into many other
applications, from New Product Introduction, Small Bath, Audit and many
more. The Cluso system uses an industrial line scanning technology
that has been optimized for use as an inspection tool. It
eliminates an operator from taking their eyes off the board, to the BOM,
and back again by bringing all the information to the front on the
screen, thus allowing an operator to inspect and document their
inspection on each board. The scan of the PCB to be inspected
takes ~1-4 minutes depending on component size and density, which will
determine at what DPI you need to scan. If you would like any
information on the unit, please feel free to contact us! Below is
a PDF of the PowerPoint presentation and also a PDF on the Cluso
literature.

Ersa IR650 Rework Station -
Refurbished Units available at a great discount!
The
IR650 uses medium wavelength dark Infrared technology for reworking
components as compared to convectional heating standards. In using
Infrared, there is no need for expensive nozzles for each component,
there reducing the cost of additional tooling necessary for rework.
Also, since there is no nozzle in the way, the process is open and you
are able to visually witness solder reflow. Furthermore, Infrared
heats more evenly, whereas convection can have hot and cold spots.
The IR650 is driven by a microprocessor that reads the component
temperature through a non-contact Infrared sensor and a variety of
K-Type thermocouples that are available. By default, the Infrared
sensor provides feedback to the microprocessor and the microprocessor
applies more/less heat as appropriate to achieve the desired profile
that you input. The rework station is coupled with a
semi-automatic placement system that will assist with PCB-Component
alignment and placement.
The IR650 has plenty of power (4600w) and many
control features to allow you to achieve an affordable, repeatable and
reliable rework solution for your process. This unit has a list
price of $65,000 USD, but there are currently refurbished units that
will become available for $45,000 USD. If you would like further
information, please let us know.
