Gen3 Systems will introduce a totally new design of its CM Series Contaminometer at productronica. Gen3 will be exhibiting alongside its German Distributor, Stannol GmbH. This new design is linked to the introduction of the new process control metric - Process Ionic Contamination Testing. The CM Series measure the amount of ionic contamination in accordance with all existing test methods often referred to as ROSE testing as well as the new PICT test.

The CM Series comprises: CM11+, CM22, CM33, CM33L, CM60 and CMBBT. The CM60 system features a volumetric measurement cell (VMC) that automatically calculates the surface area to be tested.

Also on display will be the AutoSIR 2 & AutoCAF 2 Insulation Resistance Testing Systems which measure changes in surface insulation resistance. The Gen3 Systems AutoSIR 2 system represents a dramatic improvement over existing SIR test alternatives, facilitating the measurement of all 256 channels in seconds.

The Gensonic Stencil Cleaning system will be displayed with a 24" stencil frame. The system uses a 40kHz on-contact ultrasonic transducer for high efficiency cleaning of stencil apertures. The Gensonic can be used either in conjunction with Gen3 stencil cleaning centres or is portable enough to be taken directly to the printer.

The MUST System 3 is the latest technological evolution of the original Multicore Universal Solderability Tester (MUST) that grandfathered all modern solderability test standards. It remains the unquestioned industry benchmark for solderability testing. Capable of measuring down to 0.001mN the MUST is the most accurate and comprehensively equipped test system of its type in the world.
