February, 2020 WACKER Presents High-Density Pyrogenic Silica


Adrian, MI — WACKER has intro- duced its HDK® N20P Pharma. The product is designed as an excipient for pharmaceutical applications. Even in low amounts, it improves the flow characteristics of powder blends, absorbs moisture from hygro- scopic solids and serves as a tablet disintegrant. The new grade’s special feature is its high tap density, which provides tangible logistics and han- dling benefits for pharmaceutical manufacturers. With HDK N20P Pharma,


WACKER is expanding its range of pyrogenic silicas tailored to pharma- ceutical or food applications. The new product is a compressed version


of the HDK N20 Pharma grade, which has been proving its merit as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry for years. Both grades are hydrophilic py-


rogenic silicas; their surfaces are thus wettable by water. Apart from the tap density, they possess the same physical-chemical properties. With a silicon-dioxide content of at least 99.8 percent, both products are highly pure and meet the specifica- tions of the European and the U.S. Pharmacopeia. Pyrogenic silicas are bulky


white powders. In the manufacture of the new HDK grade, the flame process, in which the pyrogenic silica


is made, is followed by a compression step. At approximately 100 grams per liter, HDK N20P Pharma achieves a tap density that is slight- ly more than double that of its un- compressed counterpart. The high degree of compaction


has a positive effect on logistics and handling of the product. The media used to transport HDK N20P Phar- ma can now be filled with twice the amount of product. This halves the number of bags to be transported and thus the volume of packaging. There is also significantly less dust pro- duced when the bags are emptied and the compressed pyrogenic silica is processed, requiring less cleaning


after. In addition, the product is eas-


ier to meter due to its compactness. Contact: Wacker Chemical

Seica Offers Solutions for Robotic Process Automation


Haverhill, MA — Robotic process au- tomation (RPA) is a growing trend in electronic board manufacturing and the latest board test solution in Seica’s Next series, the Compact RT, is designed to provide maximum pro- ductivity in any RPA scenario. A new, dual-fixture rotary table en- sures continuous, optimized test throughput and its minimal, modu- lar design provides maximum versa- tility for deployment in different au- tomated handling designs. Configurable for in-circuit, pre-


functional, functional, and combina- tional testing, as well as onboard pro- gramming, this solution has the modularity needed to provide tailor- made test performance. Seica is now offering handlers


AUTOMATION. DRIVEN BY KURTZ ERSA. PERFECT SOLUTIONS FROM A SINGLE SOURCE


Ersa is successful worldwide with systems and machines for the production of electronic assemblies. There is less and less demand for single machines. Rather, it is about offering complete solutions, i.e.complete production lines and integrated process automation, and thus assuming responsibility for the entire production process. This applies both to the requirements of mass production and to the individual, demand-oriented production of customer-spe- cific products. Especially in this area, there is an increasing demand for solutions that enable flexible manufacturing strategies.


Ersa offers individual process optimization through perfectly synchronized handling and automation solutions. The Kurtz Ersa Automtion modular system impresses with a wide range of conveyor systems, work stations for as- sembling or quality inspection, robotic solutions and much more. In any case, Ersa has the right solution for every individual requirement.q

to link its Next series Pilot V8 flying probe tester and Compact SL. The Compact SL is fully automated and, like all of the company’s Next series Compact line, it is completely config- urable for in-circuit, prefunctional, functional, and combinational test- ing, with onboard programming. The system architecture con-


forms to the World Class Manufac- turing standard. The system is a practical demonstration of how the Seica Compact line integrates the concept of lean production, maintain- ing a small footprint without sacrific- ing performance. For anyone seeking a simple,


low-cost manual ICT or functional system Seica offers the Compact Mini 200, which is easily config- urable at the customer’s site. At IPC APEX 2020, the system


will be shown with a fixture showing multiple-up unit under test (UUT) testing. The Mini line allows the cus- tomer to perform more of the cus- tom/integration by their own in- house test departments. Seica’s Pilot V8 is a comprehen-


sive flying probe test platform, with up to 20 mobile resources. The stan- dard test probes can each apply up to 2A current and the system can be configured with high-resolution cam- eras for AOI, barcode and data ma- trix reading, laser sensors, capacitive probes, pyrometers, optical fiber sen- sors for LEDs, mini-fixtures for boundary scan and onboard pro-


gramming. Contact: Seica, Inc., 110 Avco
