Page 49 Kaman Intros Differential Measurement System
Middletown, CT — Kaman Precision Products’ measuring division has introduced its KD-5100 differential measurement system, which pro- vides resolution to a nanometer of positional change. With its stable design, small size, and low power consumption, the KD-5100 is suit- able for night vision systems, precision tele- scope positioning, fast steering mirrors (FSM) for space-based and airborne applications, and image stabilization systems. Kaman engineers work closely with customers to understand their specific application and optimize the KD- 5100 to meet custom requirements. With a small package size, the KD-5100 is
a good choice for applications where space is a limiting factor. It is manufactured to MIL-H- 38534, with MIL-SPEC components used throughout the electronics module, wherever possible. The KD-5100 has a rugged con- struction, with a mean time between failures of greater than 238,000
EasyBraid Acquired by Desco Industries
Minnetonka, MN — Desco Indus- tries, Inc., of Chino, California, has acquired the assets of EasyBraid Company. EasyBraid now operates as a
brand within MENDA. Established in 1989, EasyBraid is a manufactur- er of supplies and equipment used in the PCB assembly industry. The company strives to deliver a
complete solution to quality inspec- tion and repair/rework needs. its wide range of products includes des- oldering braid, stencil rolls, solder soakers, and fume extraction sys- tems.
EasyBraid’s desoldering braid
is manufactured in its Minnesota fa- cility using environmentally safe chemicals. Its desoldering braid is designed to easily remove solder from components or pads on a circuit board. The braid is made of clean,
oxide-free copper and uses a closed weave design enabling quick “on- and-off” desoldering. The concentrat- ed fine-copper braiding utilizes less length of wick for each desoldering application, covering more surface area per square inch. The desoldering braid is avail-
able in a variety of widths, lengths, and flux types to fit many applica- tions. 5 and 10 ft (1.5 and 3m) rolls come standard on static-dissipative bobbins for protection against ESD. Options available include lead-free, one-step, quick braid, and sea braid. Lead-free is formulated with a
flux designed for higher activation temperatures, using RMA-type, no- clean flux.
One-step is to be used in con-
junction with processes using RMA- type no-clean flux and does not re- quire cleaning. Quick braid uses pure type “R” resin flux. Sea braid is un- fluxed and coated to provide oxida- tion. It can be used to apply flux of any kind.
