April, 2011 Flying Probers and Laser Soldering from Seica


Salem, NH — Seica, Inc. is showing production systems that include the Pilot M4 Flying Prober and the Firefly Laser Selective Soldering sys- tem. In addition, the company’s orig- inal Quick Test software has been selected


for the Innovative


Technology Center, as well as for a poster presentation.


The Pilot M4 is a full perform-


ance, double-sided, flying probe sys- tem. Its high level of flexibility makes it appropriate for companies with a wide variety of testing needs. The prober’s vertical architecture has two flying probes on each side of the UUT, two additional openfix probes, and two cameras. The sys-


tem’s configuration allows for true in-circuit testing, giving full access even to boards that do not have all the test points on one side. The com- bination of test tools and techniques, in a single program, maximizes test coverage and throughput: FNODE signature analysis of the UUT on the nets; PWMON net analysis for power on the boards; vectorless tests (JSCAN and OPENFIX), to test ICs for opens and shorts; analog and dig- ital in-circuit test; Optional Quick Test; Optional functional and visual test capabilities and NETLIST learn- ing procedure used to rebuild layouts and electrical schematics of boards when the relative technical docu- mentation is incomplete or unavail- able Optional Thermal Scan resources to aid in troubleshooting boards in depot repair. Quick Test is an innovative soft-

ware that allows Pilot users to write and execute functional tests quickly. Users are able to correctly program all the system resources, without knowledge of the internal architec- ture or specific programming lan- guage of the ATE. Also on display, the Firefly Selective Soldering sys- tem uses a laser-based technology that is completely automated. The Firefly has been designed to optimize flexibility and automation, including solutions for specific requirements,


such as an external pre-heating unit. The system is available in three con- figurations: top soldering, bottom soldering, and top and bottom solder- ing. The ability to apply all of the energy to a single point makes this technology applicable in situations where it is not possible to heat the

The clean soldering process eliminates the costs and logistics involved with cleaning boards and handling residual waste. Contact: Seica, Inc., 50A

Sunstone Circuits Now Offers Rogers Materials


www.baslerweb.com/ace  click. see. smile! 


Mulino, OR — Sunstone Circuits® has enhanced its services by offering Rogers material 4350 (RO4350) for orders placed within the Sunstone quickturn product line. Because the demand for Rogers materials has shown such an increase, Sunstone is now offering RO4350 on 2-Layer quickturn prototypes. Boards can be purchased in quantities of up to 25 per order, and will be shipped to cus- tomers within 24 hours of purchasing.


With the wireless communica-


tions industry rapidly evolving, this type of demand is becoming extreme- ly common. Nearly all RF devices used for test equipment specify Rogers materials. Because of its impressive and efficient dielectric constant, Rogers PCBs allow for very little current impedance. As a result, it has become the material of choice for designers developing high speed circuits. For RF engineers who may have had to settle for low-quality pro- totypes or sub-par customer service due to a lack of quality suppliers, this becomes an excellent opportunity for them to now get the prototype quali- ty that they really need for their product designs. By adding Rogers materials to


SEICA


its arsenal of products and services, the company is continuing to differ- entiate itself within the marketplace. Thus product will be available to meet the burgeoning demand for high-power, high-frequency designs in the wireless communications industry. With higher efficiency, increased bandwidth and linearity, more polarization and higher junc- tion temperature, RO4350 adds a whole new value area to the already impressive PCBexpress product line. All 2-Layer quickturn boards


featuring RO4350 will be produced at a 0.020-in. (0.508mm) thickness with maximum board dimensions of 8 x 8- in. (203x 203mm), and in quantities of up to 25 boards per order with RoHS- compliant immersion silver finish. All prototypes ordered are shipped within 24 hours of purchasing.
