Electronics repair to extend lifetime


Over a period of time electronics become obsolete and spares are no longer available. UNIS Group – EMR provides a professional service to further the life of equipment by offering a number of repair and replacement solutions. As equipment becomes older it can become unreliable; preventative maintenance can identify potential failures before they become critical. By doing so, important maintenance can be carried out during planned shutdowns. Founded in 1984, the company


specialises in the repair and selling of industrial electronics and motors. Its repair facility is centrally located in Northampton where repair technicians, with the support of extensive testing and measuring facilities, are able to repair all types and brands of electronics, new and obsolete alike. The electronics are cleaned,


repaired and tested in accordance with strict quality standards. Every

BGA/SMD rework system accelerates throughput


Among the new products to be displayed by Pace Europe at this year’s show will be the TF 1800 BGA rework system (pictured) and PH 100 pre-heater. The rework system incorporates


a top-side inductive-convection heater. The patent-pending heater technology provides rapid heat-up and active cooling of the solder joints, resulting in faster throughput and greater process control. Its high efficiency, low thermal mass design takes far less power to operate and is more reliable than conventional heaters, claims the company. A stepper motor drives an automated reflow head for smooth, precise,


repeatable movement, with no drift, allowing for soft landing of components and 28µm (0.0011-inch) placement accuracy. A vacuum pick/shaft design with


optical sensor is counterweight- balanced to eliminate placement pressure on components, and uses precision high temperature linear ball bearings for highest sensitivity in placement and pick-up. The adjustable height, bottom-side


infra red pre-heater allows safe, closer proximity to the PCB for challenging high thermal mass boards. User- friendly software guides operators through an intuitive interface that virtually automates the process.


Fastening systems are mass


production or small quantities Customers of Titgemeyer (UK) range from mass production manufacturing operations, such as the automotive industry, to the local distributor who only requires small quantities. Established in 1995, the UK


two-piece fastening systems used in structural applications that need vibration proof fasteners with high shear, tensile and clamp strength. The range of fasteners includes


branch is based in Tipton, West Midlands and provides fastening systems to industry and provides a complete service, from advice on the correct fastener for an application to maintenance of the installation tools. The TIFAS LockBolt


and DeltaBolt pin and collar fastening systems (pictured) are innovative


structural rivets and a range of threaded inserts. There is also a range of installation tools, including battery powered options for maximum flexibility. Baker & Finnemore is also part of


the Titgemeyer group. Established in 1850, the company supplies many industries with components that could either be pressed or strip-formed from steel. It is the manufacturer of the Starlock push- on fastener. It also manufactures Starpress precision pressings.

Specialising in the design and manufacture of protective packaging, MSA Foams, part of the Peli Group, produces foams that protect components or delicate equipment. Designing foam inserts that are cut to size for individual tool kits has been part of the business for over 20 years. The company is delighted to have been chosen to provide tool control for the Bloodhound SSC supersonic car engineering project. The vital tools for this record breaking attempt on the world land speed record are stored and transported in foam from MSA. Inserts organise tools efficiently


and, using coloured foam, ensure missing items are easily identified, eliminating the risk of foreign object damage. Durable custom foam ensures tools are secured in position and fully protected in transit. There is a wide range of


returnable packaging and protective/presentation cases available. The sales presentation cases have a professional finish, with branding enhanced through corporate colours. Logos can also be laser-engraved with intricate detail in the foam. The stand at this year’s event


showcases the various colours and foam densities available. The in-house design team has created the stand to demonstrate the product range, the design service and manufacturing capabilities to exhibition visitors. The separate panels interlock neatly using jigsaw tabs for the visible joints of the wall’s panels, showing the precision of the foam cutting and finish, in addition to strengthening the connection between the stand panels. Many features of the stand, such


as a complex water-jet cut map of the UK, showing the areas of the business development team, to the laser engraved, precision-cut Aztec design, demonstrate the cutting technology at the 31,000 sq ft facility.
