December, 2014 APEX FA Intros New Placement Machines
Chantilly, VA — SMT equipment and process spe- cialist Apex Factory Automation (Apex FA) has in- troduced the new MR Series placement machines to the American market. The MR series expands on the key features of the Mirae Mx series and of- fers a very high feature content at highly attrac- tive cost points. The expanded features include 4th generation Linear motors, intelligent electronic eX feeders, and class-leading machine and NPI soft- ware. The innovations and improvements are evi- denced by 68 patents secured by Mirae during the development of this new platform. According to the company, the new genera-
tion of linear motors are unusual at this price point. Such a sophisticated drive system is typical- ly seen in machines costing much more. Addition-
Newest placement machine, the MR20LP.
Finally, a Pb-free solder paste that takes a shine to ENIG/gold PC boards.
Introducing NC-560-LF, the Pb-free no-clean solder paste designed for hard-to-solder metallization surfaces

boards.This fully RoHS-compliant solder paste delivers unparalleled lot-to-lot and stencil printing consistency, and enhanced solderability due to superior print performance characteristics, including excellent wetting and activity, ideal viscosity, long stencil life, thermal stability up to 300
o C, and minimal residue. NC-560-LF

al features in the new MR series are higher feeder capacity, at 120 slots; taller part capacity, at 25mm; and the machines use the new Electronic Smart eX feeders, which index 6 times faster than the previous designs. The new machines share the machine and
NPI software with the current Mx series platform, which will be continued at a lower price point. There are four models in the new MR machine se- ries: two single gantry, single conveyor and two dual gantry dual conveyor models. In addition there are two versions of heads on either the single or dual gantry drive system. The higher-speed ma- chines have six “Module” type heads per gantry, and the most flexible versions have four “Preci-
sion” heads per gantry. Contact: Apex Factory Automa-

QTS Inc. Launches Improved Stencil Adapter System
Medway, MA — The Quick Tension- ing Systems (QTS) Apshen Stencil Foil System for the DEK® Vec- torGuard® High Tension stencil frame now has an improved, simpli- fied, more robust design that will add to its ease of use and performance.
Stencil adapter system. The simpler single-molded sys-
tem provides added strength and performance, while simplifying as- sembly and cleaning. The Apshen al- lows users of the VectorGuard sys- tem to use their own stencils, or sten- cils produced by the stencil foil ven- dor of their choice, in their Vec- torGuard frames. Apshen gives VectorGuard users
a choice they didn’t have before — since they could only purchase sten- cils that fit the VectorGuard system from VectorGuard or from a licensee. Now, they can purchase them from whomever they choose. Apshen is an effective adapter system that allows the user to use their own existing foils, or foils manufactured by a ven- dor whom they choose, in Vec- torGuard frames. Apshen is a patent- pending design that will not compro- mise VectorGuard systems and does not infringe on any existing patents. The product’s aluminum cover and in- jection molded base fit onto the edge of stencil foils. They’re quick to attach and make a solid connection for the life of the stencil. They are available
