Taking the next innovation step in the field of M12 connectors
With the M12 push-pull with inner locking, Yamaichi is taking the next innovation step in the field of M12 connectors. The cable-side connector engages into the device socket from the inside with locking hooks. As a result, the push-pull system requires only the same installation space as a common M12 connection with screw locking.With this technology, it is possible to completely insert the M12 socket into the device, e.g. to integrate it into a...
Automated camera replaces manual pcb inspection
Digitaltest says its Complete Optical Repair Solution (CORS) eliminates the need for manual search and identification of errors on assemblies, saving time and money. Manual Visual Inspection (MVI) is an optical test procedure in which the board is manually inspected for detectable defects using a magnifying glass.
Flexible printed circuits reach further into emerging applications
Flexible printed circuits can help to save weight, increase reliability, and enhance the functionality of electronic assemblies and interconnects. New manufacturing techniques now enable FPCs of unlimited length to address emerging applications in demanding sectors such as aerospace and automotive. Philip Johnston, CEO, Trackwise explains more.
Absolute encoders take centre stage at SPS 2019
At SPS 2019 (hall 4A, booth 136) in Nuremberg (November 26-28), iC-Haus presents its latest generation of integrated high-resolution optical-reflective absolute encoders. The iC-PZ Series is said to set new standards in flexibility and miniaturisation.
Connectors with 2mm centerlines for board signal transfers
TE Connectivity (TE) has expanded its range of AMPMODU interconnection solutions with the introduction of 2mm centerline board connectors. These new connectors occupy 38% less space than traditional 2.54mm centerline products, while reliably and economically meeting the packaging and inter-connection requirements of today's miniature, sophisticated electronics.
UV drying system hastens hardening times
As the trend toward miniaturisation continues, and the demand for increasing production time persists, Altus Group is looking at equipment to help make the process easier, including providing innovative UV drying systems. UV coatings and UV adhesives facilitate fast hardening in just seconds, ensure short cycle times and increased production speeds.
Indoor drone with customised electronic modules
Just how dependent unmanned flying is on high-quality and functioning printed circuit boards, components and solder joints is shown by flying in enclosed spaces. “Many UAS are equipped with standard components. But flying in enclosed spaces also requires good communication and navigation transmission as well as powerful, dimmable, small headlights," said Jörg Nolte, Product Manager Soldering Tools, Rework and Inspection Systems at Ersa...
Compact UV LED lamp for adhesive curing
DELO has developed a particularly space-saving UV lamp for adhesive curing. The powerful DELOLUX 503 is designed for industrial applications requiring small surfaces to be bonded within seconds in serial production lines, for example for bonding cameras used in autonomous cars.
Demand for plasma applications prior to conformal coating process
Due to increasing miniaturisation and packing density on assemblies Plasmatreat has recorded a higher demand for Openair-Plasma in combination with conformal coatings in electronic manufacturing. Plasma application as pre-treatment to conformal coating of assemblies and components ensures that the process window for conformal coating is widened, guaranteeing long-lasting connections and functionality.
