Page 25 Europlacer Now Supporting CFX Standard


Tampa, FL — Europlacer is now supporting native, middleware-free integra- tion of Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) within its placement platforms. As global markets change, factories have the opportunity to differentiate them- selves with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology that deliv- ers genuine business benefits, includ- ing increased profitability. The IPC CFX standard directly


addresses customers’ increasing need for digitalization as part of a smart Industry 4.0 factory. It does so with- out dependencies on middleware or


PACE Intros BGA Rework Systems


Vass, NC — PACE Worldwide is now offering its new TF series of BGA re- work systems. The TF1800 is designed for standard board sizes of up to 12 x 12 in. (30.5 x 30.5 cm), while the TF2800 is for extra large, high-mass PCBs up to 24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm). Both systems incorporate a top-


side, inductive-convection heater. This patented heat technology pro- vides rapid heat-up and active cool- ing of the solder joint, resulting in faster throughput and greater process control. The active cooling feature pro-


vides swift, yet controlled component and PCB cooldown, directly through the nozzle, yielding high-quality joints. Its high efficiency, low ther- mal mass design takes far less power to operate and is more reliable than conventional heaters.


other services that have, with previous technologies, brought along addition- al costs, functional limitations, delays and variation in the way that data is interpreted. CFX uniquely defines the proto-


col, encoding mechanism and the standard message definition and con- tent, making it a true “plug-and-play” standard for the industry. It allows an equipment vendor to reduce the costs of smart factory support, as well as to provide an opportunity to con-


tribute more actionable data. Contact: Europlacer Americas,

TF series BGA rework systems. An automated reflow head is


driven by an advanced stepper motor, which provides smooth, high- precision, repeatable movement, with no drift, allowing for soft land- ing of components and 1.2 mil (30 µm) placement accuracy. An ad- vanced vacuum pick/shaft design is counterweight balanced to eliminate placement pressure on components and uses precise, high-temperature linear ball bearings for high sensitiv- ity in placement and pick up. PACE’s exclusive, adjustable-


height, bottom-side IR preheater al- lows the operator to get closer to the PCB for the most challenging high thermal mass boards. Other features include an HD vision overlay system for optical alignment with quad-field imaging capability for alignment of outsized BGAs or large, fine-pitch QFPs; integrated underside board support to prevent sagging during re- flow; and fourth-generation software to guide operators through an intu- itive interface that virtually auto-


mates the process. Contact: PACE Worldwide,
