Easy Oven Setup (EOS) Software
Automatic Recipe Calculations
www.datapaq.com
Datapaq’s new Easy Oven Setup (EOS) software is an easy-to-use software program that automatically calculates the best reflow oven settings based on product and process limits that users set. A newly developed search engine processes thousands of oven settings before recommending the best options to the user. Simply run your product through the oven to create a profile, enter the process limits and EOS calculates the optimal recipe. Oven setup-time is reduced by more than half and the recipe is right the first time. Eliminate the need to conduct repeated trial and error experiments and establish your oven recipe effortlessly.
Finetech
FINETECH will demonstrate today's most requested advanced rework applications in booth #2059:
(1) Residual solder removal - used for site dressing after the removal of SMD components or for cleaning BGA interposers before reballing.
(2) Direct component paste printing - an all-in-one solution for reworking MLF and QFN leadless components.
(3) Reballing - to restore BGAs and CSPs back to original condition, using hot gas bottom/top heating and excellent thermal management.

LPKF Laser & Electronics
StencilLaser P6060
The Stencil Laser P 6060 is a fully enclosed laser cutting system for the production of SMT stencils. The system features a simplified user interface with easy-to-learn software.
ProtoLaser U
The ProtoLaser U is a fully automated UV laser depaneling and routing system for PCBs.
StencilCheck Software
StencilCheck is and automatic optical inspection system for solder paste stencils.
The HIROX Systems are dedicated digital microscopes, allowing a sample to be observed directly through a lens. The microscopes have been optimized for the characteristics of the imaging sensor: a flat, 2-D array with a known readout rate, response curve, pixel size, etc. Objects may be inspected dynamically in 360 degree with the patented HIROX design. Additionally, using the microscopes, superior BGA inspection is capable up to 200X magnification.
Smart Sonic's EnviroGuard is the first and only 100% closed-loop stencil cleaner that can clean all types of solder paste without discharging any waste to drain. Two independent filtration systems recirculate the wash and rinse for reuse. The unique rinse filtration system includes DI water quality.
440-R SMT Detergent for Manual Stencil Cleaning
Smart Sonic introduces a new line of low-cost ultrasonic stencil cleaners. The Series 500 Stencil Cleaners are designed for the SMT assembler that is cleaning low volume stencils and desires improved and consistent cleaning of fine-pitch stencil apertures and reduced stencil damage caused by manual cleaning
