LPKF: Latest Laser XCutters and Welders
Tualatin, OR — LPKF is highlighting its UV laser systems, including the MicroLine 1120 S and 6120 S which are designed for depaneling populat- ed PCBs. They are suitable for cut- ting break-out tabs and complex con- tours with the highest accuracy. The UV laser demonstrates its
superiority over conventional cutting systems when handling rigid and flexible substrates. The laser is capa- ble of cutting board outlines, adja- cent to delicate components and tracks, without causing any of the mechanical stress associated with routers or dicing saws. This allows for small subassemblies with much higher densities to be realized, with components right up to the edge of the printed circuit board. The company is also highlight-

ing the MicroLine 1120 P and 6120 P series which are UV laser systems designed for processing bare rigid and flexible PCB circuit boards. The UV laser cuts, drills, engraves and ablates with the tightest tolerances on a wide variety of materials, mak- ing it the most versatile and inex- pensive UV laser on the market today. It has the ability to cleanly cut even the most complicated pat- terns with minimal stress to the sub- strate, allowing for more circuits on a single panel. It eliminates the lim- itations of tooling with the use of an integrated vacuum table. The MicroLine P models are especially suited for high-mix, flexible manu- facturing environments. LPKF is also highlighting its
laser plastic welding systems. Laser plastic welding has been around for decades, but with an ever-increasing demand for smaller, more intricate devices, laser plastic welding is growing to become a major player in
plastics joining methods. Primarily found in the automotive, medical and consumer electronics industries, LPKF laser welding systems are used for a variety of applications from small electronics housings, to highly complex and intricate microfluidic devices, and even exteri-

or automotive lighting. The laser plastic welding system family is comprised of three main machines: the LQ Vario, LQ Power and TwinWeld3D. With nearly unlimited cus-
tomization options, these machines can be fitted to suit the needs of the most demanding plastics joining projects.

Vision Engineering: New Measurement Microscope
New Milford, CT — Vision Engineer - ing’s new Kestrel Elite, 2-Axis Optical Measurement Microscope is designed to withstand the challenging condi- tions on the shop floor. It is a high accuracy, low investment system, designed to handle measurement and inspection capabilities. From simple single feature
operation, to more complex com- ponent part measurement, the microscope combines high resolu- tion, high contrast images with intuitive microprocessors to deliver accuracy and simplicity for a wide range of measuring applications. Designed as a pow- erful yet simple 2-axis measuring microscope, it delivers optimized measurement, sub ten microns. With a range of new software
options, the Kestrel Elite can be uti- lized with a microprocessor or a PC Tablet incorporating touch screen technology and part view measure- ment for simple feature-to-feature measurement. The Windows®-based PC Tablet
