TUALATIN, OR — Laser depan- eling continues to offer more advantages compared to classic processes. The latest Cutting - Master 3000 raises the bar with a more powerful laser source, inno- vative Tensor technology, and a full suite of cutting-edge compo- nents.


Laser depaneling eliminates


the limitations of traditional methods. Pristine edges, zero stress on components, tight cut channels, and complete contour flexibility are a few of its advan- tages. Adapting to different materials or geometries is a breeze — simply adjust process- ing parameters, no tool changes required. Laser depaneling also allows


a high packing density, ensures short processing cycles, and guar- antees maximum functional relia- bility of the separated PCBs. With the next generation of the CuttingMaster 3000, LPKF is con-


TEXMAC/ Takaya Show Flying Probe Software


SANTA CLARA, CA — Since its introduction in 2022, Takaya Plus Infinity software has been opening doors for new and exist- ing Takaya customers. TEX- MAC/Takaya is a pioneering developer of flying probe testing systems for PCBAs. As part of the Plus Infinity


suite, FastTrack ODB++ saves time and eliminates unnecessary work. For example; The conver- sion can be based on various fac- tors including a comparison of dif- ferences in the files. If an existing test program is generated from an ODB++ file, then FastTrack ODB++ is able to compare a revised ODB++ with an existing one and convert only the part where changes have been made. Using this function helps


greatly reduce the time and cost of test program debugging, since users do not need to create a test program from scratch. FastTrack ODB++, the Takaya Program Generator, is a Takaya-devel- oped conversion software pro- gram that simplifies and stream- lines communication between machines when generating APT


testing programs. Contact: TEXMAC, Inc.,

tinuing this development. De - signed for seamless integration into production lines, it offers a high degree of autonomy with a variety of easily integrated auto - ma tion solutions. For the 3000 platform, LPKF now offers a self- developed green laser source for minimal operating costs and an improved price-performance ratio. The latest LPKF platform


can now come equipped with ten- sor technology, enabling faster cuts without material degrada- tion. This further enhances the effectiveness of CleanCut technol- ogy in preventing carbonization. A


host of other advancements con- tribute to the system’s increase in


performance. An improved extrac- tion head guarantees exceptional cleanliness, while accommodating PCBs up to 1.6 in. (40 mm) in height. Automatic power meas- urement streamlines operation, while universal table and fixture solutions offer superior flexibility and cost-effective workpiece carri-


er solutions. Contact: LPKF, 12555 SW
