Assembléon To Show iFlex Pick-and-Place Platform
Eindhoven, the Netherlands — Assembléon is introducing iFlex in Asia after its successful first showings in Europe. iFlex is a new, innovative, intelligent and flexible SMT solution for electronics manufacturers. It is
gle manufacturing line. This built-in flexibility allows
manufacturers to assemble high-qual- ity PCBs in any quantity, no matter how much variety. This makes iFlex suitable for the high product mix envi- ronments increasingly being demand- ed in the industry. With three modules, iFlex can
be configured to tailor assembly lines — from 1 to more than 8 modules — for any production need. The T4 is suitable for chip and small IC shoot- ing — 4 placement robots, placement

especially designed to increase pro- ductivity in high product mix envi- ronments by more than 30 percent. iFlex reportedly produces the highest board quality since it uses the compa- ny’s unusual single-pick/single-place technology, reportedly providing the industry’s highest First Pass Yield production levels with defect levels of less than 10 DPM. The modular iFlex is not only
easy to install, but supported by smart software tools also easy to pro- gram without needing hardware reconfiguration. iFlex uses dual transport lanes, dual-sided feeding, internal buffer positions and feeder and trolley exchanges during pro- duction — thus yielding the highest possible throughput. The company’s unusual “Independent Dual Lane” concept allows manufacturers to pro- duce in volume on one lane, while frequently and independently chang- ing jobs on the second lane. This allows a great variety of PCBs to be assembled simultaneously on a sin-
Zestron: New pH-Neutral Defluxing
Agent Manassas, VA — In addition to HYDRON® WS 325 for OA defluxing processes, Zestron is introducing its latest pH-neutral cleaning agent VIGON® N 600. The new product is a pH-neutral MPC® Technology-based cleaning agent specifically developed for various spray-in-air inline and batch defluxing applications. Due to its pH-neutral formula-
tion, this product demonstrates an extraordinary level of material com- patibility with sensitive materials such as aluminum, brass, nickel, plastics, labels and inks. In addition, it performs well at low application concentrations in specific processes and eliminates the need for costly
waste water neutralization. Contact: Zestron America,

speed of 51,000 cph, 128 twin tape feeder positions. The T2 is aimed at flexible
placements — 2 placement robots, placement speeds of 24,000 cph, 128 twin tape feeder positions. The H1 is for ICs and fine pitch placements — 1 placement robot, placement speed of 7,100 cph, max 146 twin tape feeder positions/max 30 tray positions. iFlex is a complete pick-and-
place solution and supported by Mentor Graphics’ Valor software suites (both NPI and MES). These
suites help plan, prepare and test the PCB assembly before production starts, and control the actual assem- bly process from beginning to end,
including detailed traceability data. Contact: Assembléon America, Inc., 5110 McGinnis Ferry Rd.,
