Valtronic buys a Nordson DAGE X-ray system
Valtronic has purchased and is in the process of configuring an XD7500VR Jade FP X-ray system from Nordson DAGE on its production floor in Ohio. The machine will be live before the end of the year and will be used for in-process inspection of BGA and wire bonded devices. Additionally, it will be used as an analytical tool to verify, troubleshoot and improve Valtronic’s internal processes.
OTDR modules enhance network tester
OTDR modules are now available for Anritsu’s next generation Network Master Pro MT1000A all-in-one tester. The new modules can operate standalone or be simultaneously installed with available multi-rate transport module to create a rugged, handheld solution that field technicians can use to ensure the performance of all network types - mobile, metro, access or long haul.
Six in one oscilloscope gets performance upgrade
Improved scope performance and a 6GHz spectrum analyser are the latest upgrades to the TektronixMDO4000C Series of Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes. The instruments can be configured with up to six instruments in a single unit including a full spectrum analyser.
RMS clamp multimeter enables fine resolution measurements
The CM11 TRUE RMS AC/DC Clamp Multimeter from Benning has been added to Conrad’s expanding range of test and measurement equipment. The compact and ergonomic handheld unit offers measurement resolution of 0.1 mA AC/DC and uses a current clamp measuring method that avoids the need for split wires.
Low cost desktop AOI system from Marantz
The iSpector desktop AOI from Marantz Electronics has been designed as an entry-level system for customers with low volume, high mix production requiring AOI with a low price tag. It provides benchtop PCB inspection with what the company says is exceptional defect coverage.
Vision system adds traceability & quality validation
Adaptsys has introduced the IS300C: a vision system that adds traceability and quality validation to the V-Tek TM50 range of component taping machines. The new system provides multiple checks for orientation and empty pocket detection along with mark and ink-dot inspection for precision parts in both manual and automated configurations.
Collaboration enables OTA test of wireless wearables
As the demand for Smart and IoT devices grows so too does the pressure on the active radio signals supporting those devices. This is due to the increased RF activity from the many different radio links that surround us in our daily life. And with that comes performance degradation issues due to interference, which is ultimately resulting in slow data rate performance, dropped connections and failed data sessions.
DC load module offers 300W x 2 module option
A new 300W dual-channel DC load module, the MDL302, has been introduced by B&K Precision for use with its modular programmable DC electronic load system, the MDL Series. The MDL302 adds to the six DC electronic load modules already offered in the series ranging in power from 200W to 600W.
Tester takes on high performance flash devices
The T5851 system is designed to provide a cost-effective test solution for high-performance universal flash storage (UFS) devices and PCIe BGA solid-state drives (SSDs) – memory ICs in high demand by makers of low-power, mobile applications such as smart phones, tablets and ultra-portable laptops.
