Test tools keep railway maintenance teams on track
Railway Tool Boxes are a collection of instruments which, says Microlease, take the guesswork out of ensuring teams always have the correct electrical and electronic test gear to complete their tasks. They simplify access to the essential equipment needed to manage and maintain the multitude of electrical, electronic and communications systems used on today’s railway.
Semiconductor test platform accommodates PXI/PXIe modules
Capabilities of the TS-900 PXI semiconductor test platform have been extended by Marvin Test Solutions (MTS) with the addition of the TS-960e system which offers PXI Express (PXIe) performance and expanded test capabilities for RF devices and SoC applications.
3D AOI system at SMTA Guadalajara
MIRTEC plans to exhibit its MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI System at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum (Oct. 5-6). The MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine is configured with MIRTEC’s OMNI-VISION 3D Inspection Technology which combines the company's 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera Technology with the Digital Multi-Frequency Quad Moiré 3D system in a newly designed platform.
Field cable analyser measures new LTE-U frequencies
The ultraportable Site Master S331P launched by Anritsu is said to be the lightest, smallest, fastest and most cost-efficient Site Master field cable and antenna analyser ever developed. It addresses the market need for broad frequency coverage and high performance in an extremely compact and economical design.
Lufthansa Technik uses EOS tool for on-line process monitoring
At the end of last year, EOS introduced EOSTATE MeltPool, an extension for its EOS M 290 system for Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). It provides automated and intelligent process monitoring in real time - for every spot, every layer and every part. In this way, it creates the conditions for the automated monitoring of the melting pool. At the same time, it enables a view inside the part during the build process, as such paving the way for bui...
Processor emulation tools extended for Bluetooth SoC controller
The range of processor emulation tools from GOEPEL electronic has been extended for the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 series, thus enabling the processor to be reconfigured to provide design-integrated test and programming instruments via the SWD port. A respective VarioTAP model, as part of an extensive IP library, contains all relevant access information for the target processor.
Measurement system is consistent with the impending change
After it's all over, your lights will be just as bright, and your refrigerator just as cold. But very soon the ampere—the SI base unit of electrical current—will take on an entirely new identity, and NIST scientists are at work on an innovative, quantum-based measurement system that will be consistent with the impending change. It won't be a minute too soon. The ampere (A) has long been a sort of metrological embarrassment.
Kelvin test contactors ensure reliable testing of smartphone ICs
Yamaichi Electronics presents Kelvin test contactors in QFN, SOP and QFP packages for use in the lab and on the test floor. The arms race in thin and lightweight, but still powerful consumer devices such as smartphones relies on high integrity of sensitive functions on a semiconductor component. For the semiconductor manufacturer to be able to guarantee that functionality, the test equipment has to be correspondingly powerful.
3D AOI at SMTA International
Nordson YESTECH will exhibit at SMTA International and will demonstrate the FX-940 ULTRA 3D AOI with 3D technology for the inspection of solder defects, lead defects/lifted leads, component presence and co-planarity of chips, BGAs and other height sensitive devices.
EMC test line suits all applications
The range of EMC pre-compliance test instruments at MDL Instruments has been expanded with the company's appointment as exclusive UK distributor for the complete range of EMC products from PMM. The instruments will be particularly useful for lighting and white goods manufacturers, but are suited to all EMC applications.
