authorized supplier.” Cofactr relies on a Jewel Box 90T real-time X-ray inspection system supplied by Glenbrook Technologies of Randolph, New Jersey, to ensure compo- nent authenticity. The unit provides magnification from 7X
to 2,000X, using patented X-ray camera tech- nology, with resolution of 100 line pairs per millimeter. The camera’s sensitivity allows imaging of low-density materials, as well as very small parts, while the system’s powerful 90 kV micro-focus X-ray tube ensures deep penetration of dense materials. A five-axis manipulator provides 360-
degree rotation and 45-degree tilt, while an image processing workstation includes soft-
ware to view, capture and archive images. In addition, Cofactr’s Jewel Box 90T has a reel- to-reel accessory that allows tape-mounted components to be counted as they are inspected. Initially, “we chose the Glenbrook system because of the quality-to-price ratio: it had the capabilities we wanted at a price that worked for us,” Haber says. He adds that the unit has performed
well and proven to be both adaptable and customizable. Using in-house engineering capabilities, Cofactr has integrated a custom microscope camera into the system to cap- ture the printing on top of each component while it is being X-rayed, providing a second level of digital documentation that can be maintained in perpetuity along with the X-
ray images. Glenbrook was “open to our customizing
the unit to meet our needs,” Haber notes. Enhancing cost-efficiency for Cofactr, adding the camera to the X-ray system has eliminat- ed the need for a second, labor-intensive pho- tographic process. “Having in-house X-ray inspection is a non-negotiable requirement” for Cofactr, Haber says of Glenbrook’s Jewel Box 90T. “It enables us to serve our cus- tomers responsibly and efficiently. We wouldn’t put our name on a report to a rock- et or surgical robot supplier if we didn’t have the capabilities of this machine.” Contact: Glenbrook Technologies, Inc.,

Heraeus Electronics Presents Solder Pastes
WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — Heraeus Electronics is presenting its Microbond® SMT660 Innolot® and Microbond SMT660 Innolot 2.0 solder pastes, as well as its exceptional sinter paste innova- tions, including the PE338 Silver and PE401 copper pressure sinter paste. The Microbond SMT660
Innolot 2.0 solder alloy offers an innovative approach to highly reliable and cost-effective solder alloys for automotive applica- tions. The next generation of Innolot alloy enhances creep resistance, leading to extended product life cycles at higher oper- ating temperatures. Notably, the Microbond SMT660 Innolot 2.0 solder paste excels in reflow with- out the need for additional nitro- gen, keeping defect rates low and reducing TCO. The Microbond SMT660 sol-
der paste incorporates a flux designed to deliver superior per- formance. An acrylic-based syn- thetic resin eliminates potential batch-to-batch variations often associated with natural raw materials. This approach, combined
35
with low impurities, results in a high SIR performance, reducing the risk of electrochemical migra - tion. This flux combined with Innolot or Innolot 2.0 alloy syner- gy offers exceptional reliability, making it especially valuable in miniaturized systems. Contact: Heraeus, Inc.,
