Te ability to customize the Access DH probe head assemblies combined with software created using the Huntron Workstation SDK, Hardware SDK or Remote Control provides many integration and customization opportunities. Te probe head design includes pre-wired interconnections for adding built-in USB, Firewire or Ethernet instrumentation at the head.

Test Automation
As the density and complexity of circuit boards has increased, the need to accurately place a probe on a test point has grown. Huntron recognized this issue early on and released its first robotic test platform in 1991. Our Access Probers have matured over the years with increased accuracy and the ability to be customized based on your test and measurement needs.

The evaluation process was exceedingly detailed and included a full company audit for all of the company’s procedures. “Mirtec is proud to have been selected by Bosch as their exclusive AOI partner. We are confident that our exclusive technology will successfully address both their immediate and future in- spection requirements. We look for- ward to a long and prosperous rela- tionship between our two organiza- tions,” said Chanwha Pak, CEO of Mirtec Co., Ltd. Both companies provide cus-

around specific industry-sector chal- lenges. In February 2013, the center launched thelSecure Exchange of Electronic Health Information Dem - on stration Project to develop a plat- form that allows health care providers to securely document, maintain and exchange clinical information using electronic methods. The project’s first use case focus-
es on securely exchanging health in- formation via a mobile device. In addi- tion, the center will work on “building block” solutions that can be applied across industry sectors. Vendors, users, researchers and
others can participate in the center through a variety of collaborative mechanisms, in addition to the offi- cial partnerships that were an- nounced today. Vendors are invited to provide
hardware, software, expertise or so- lutions to problems; users can help by providing information and feed- back to validate and improve solu- tions; and integrators can help cus- tomers implement the NCCoE exam- ple solutions in real environments and provide feedback. See:

ter a strong start to the year in Jan- uary. “Monthly data can be very volatile, especially in the flexible cir- cuit segment of the PCB industry,” said IPC Market Research Director Sharon Starr. “Actual trends only emerge from several months of data.” Flexible circuit sales in North
America strengthened in the second half of 2012 and the book-to-bill ratio for flexible circuits, while in negative territory, has steadily increased since October 2012. Bookings increased slightly in
the rigid PCB segment in February 2013, pushing the total PCB book-to- bill ratio up to 1.06. After a long, slow decline in 2012, the PCB book-to-bill
ratio has been positive since January 2013. The ratio reflects the three- month rolling averages of orders over sales and is a three-to-six-month leading indicator for sales growth. “The decline in PCB sales from
January to February was a bit sur- prising in light of seasonal trends, but it reflects the negative book-to- bill ratios in the fourth quarter of 2012,” added Starr. “The ratio has been trending up for the past three months and is now in positive territo- ry. This suggests that the PCB in- dustry’s recovery is merely delayed and we hope to see some improve- ment in the coming months.” See:
