Potting Optimized Component Design

nificant influence on whether potting should be under atmos- pheric pressure or under a vacu- um. Vacuum potting is being increasingly used if potting has to be absolutely bubble-free to ensure, for example, high levels of functional quality, safety and reliability for electronic compo- nents. Optimum design permits


potting under atmospheric pres- sure up to a certain limit (very small dispensing spaces, under-


cuts, etc.) but sometimes only vac- uum potting is the solution. In terms of the technologies, there are no restrictions. Proven solu- tions based on sophisticated process engineering are available today for both types of potting. Contact: Scheugenpflug,

cal e-motion four-jaw chuck with individually driven jaws, and the RT electromechanical e-motion tombstone with drive interfaces for up to eight universally config- urable clamping devices that can be individually controlled. The F280 inductive coupler


system is standardized for all e- motion products This enables all e-motion products to be rapidly changed on the machine tool. The contactless coupler system makes it possible to always mon- itor and adjust every clamping device during the production process. This brings an enor- mous increase in flexibility, qual- ity, and operational safety. Contact: SMW Autoblok,

Inspection Programming


Continued from previous page


“golden board” — an ideal fin- ished board — might be used to check the system’s inspection settings. The only problem, of course, is that in the real world of product variations, changing component and PCB suppliers and physical limitations, the ideal mounted component never existed. To accommodate for produc-


tion drift and other changes, many industries solved this problem with a “silver board,” a board with known defects used to periodically re-calibrate inspec- tion settings. Over time, however, even


these boards tend to gather dust, oxidation and increasing wear to grow less and less accurate with every use. Escape Tracker, together


with the advanced software guid- ance of the MYWizard user inter- face, makes it possible to move 3D inspection beyond these limi- tations. By bringing the art of a pro-

grammers’ judgment together with the objective reality of every mounted and inspected compo- nent, the system automatically adapts to the natural variations of changing production condi- tions. This makes inspection models more robust, program- ming more efficient and end products closer to perfection, every minute of every day. Contact: Mycronic, Inc., 554
