Lectronics Installs Flexible Assembly Flow Line
Saline, MI — Saline Lectronics, a con- tract manufacturer, has recently in- stalled a new assembly flow line. The line is set up in a configuration de- signed to be both lean and systematic. With this new system, the com-
pany is able to assemble many differ- ent kinds of customer products in varying volumes. Since the system is
protected and non-marring, to ac- commodate larger electro-mechani- cal box build products. It is ergonom- ically designed to be adjustable in height. Touchscreen computers have
been installed on the line to display clear and interactive work instruc- tions for the operators.

programmable, the company’s manu- facturing team can customize the line to make the most efficient use of time and materials while assembling a customer’s product. The line is also designed to support quick change - over scenarios, allowing the produc- tion team to switch to another as- sembly on-the-fly. The line is equipped with a belt 18in (45.7cm) wide, which is ESD
The line can also be pro-
grammed to set specific production goals, which are monitored and dis- played. The system also collects line data and indicates when and where bottlenecks occur to keep the line
balanced and flowing smoothly. Contact: Saline Lectronics, 710

atg Luther & Maelzer Launches Grid Tester
Wertheim, Germany — atg Luther & Maelzer, a supplier of electrical test equipment, has launched its LM2010 grid tester. The system combines a well-established grid test system with state-of-the-art Sniper optical alignment and can handle large PCBs with pads down to 100 to 150µ in size.
tures, such as motherboards. Along with the field-proven Pico Sniper technology, the system can test pan- els up to 19.2in (48.8cm). The test system was developed
in close cooperation with the compa- ny’s customers in Asia. It was driven by the trend of motherboard PCB manufacturers to produce two moth-
Grid tester for large PCB panels with small pads. In the past, testing products
with such small pads without optical alignment has been difficult. De- pending on the panel quality, pass rates can fall to around 50 or 60 per- cent. Also, the risk of damaging the pads during test increases with smaller pad sizes. While grid test systems designed for HDI smart- phone PCBs can handle such dense structures, large panel testers do not have the same capability. The LM2010 with optical align-
ment has been specifically designed for large PCBs with dense struc-
erboards in one production panel. These panels have a dense structure similar to smartphones or tablet PCBs, but with much larger dimen- sions, which makes them difficult to test. According to the company, the system can increase pass rates of
large MB panels to 85 or 95 percent. Contact: atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH, Zum Schlag 3, 97877
