Vitronics Soltec - AUTOset

AUTOset is a software subsystem installed on all new Vitronics Soltec XPM3 Series reflow soldering machines. It eliminates the need for the operator to "guess" an initial oven recipe, by using an algorithm to calculate the ideal oven recipe based on input data.

AUTOset not only saves process development time, but also energy and operating costs by generating more efficient profiles from Vitronics Soltec's vast informational database and more than 15 years of developing optimized thermal profiles for reflow ovens.

AUTOset will work with any third-party thermal profiler, including ECD products.

If you would like more information about any of Vitronics Soltec's products, please let us know.

ECD - MegaMole and MegaRider

ECD announced today two new products that work with their MegaMole thermal profiler. The MegaRider V10 and the MegaRider S14. These devices are used to verify an oven profile instead of using a golden PCB that might not hold up to numerous runs.

The MegaRider V10 is data rich with equal mass PCB simulation and ambient sensors in 4 places across the leading edge of the pallet. Teamed with the MegaMole 20 thermal profiler, you can capture all 10 channels of data analysis, decision making, and future reference.

The MegaRider S14 has similar features to the MegaRider V10 but provides 14 channels of thermal sensors.

If you have any questions or any interest in ECD products, please let us know.

DEK - Horizon Platform Refresh

DEK's Horizon platform has been refreshed. There are now only two productivity choices that need to be made up front. Do you need the High Throughput Conveyor and/or the Adjustable Stencil Mount? After that, every option is field retrofitable.

We have DEK's Instinctiv V9 software installed on our laptops to demonstrate. Let us know if you would like to have a demonstration.

You can click the title of this post and you will be redirected to a Horizon Platform Configurator to configure your DEK screen printer any way you'd like. If you have any more questions about DEK products, please let us know.

IAC - Workmaster Storage Cabinets

IAC now offers storage cabinets in their workmaster series of workbenches. The storage cabinets are 27 inches tall offering 12 cubic feet of storage space. With the addition of the storage cabinets IAC can now provide sixteen different cabinet configurations.

DEK - Stinger Adhesive Dispense

DEK has recently introduced a technology they call Stringer for their screen printing machines that have V9 software installed. Stinger is a Print Platform Adaptable Dispensing Technology. It is a low volume dispense module attached to the camera carriage of a standard DEK printer. It is not designed to replace a regular dispenser but to provide dual functionality to the print platform for customers who require a number of glue dots to be dispensed on a mixed technology board for example.

If you'd like to know more about Stinger or any of DEK's products, you'll find our contact information to the right of this website. Please feel free to call any one of us.

Mantis Elite with Built-In Camera

Since the launch of the Original Mantis & New Mantis, there have been many requests for a camera system go with the Mantis Heads.

Vision Engineering now offers a USB camera which is permanently integrated with the Elite Head and gives high resolution images of the subject being studied.

Such a system offers customers many advantages, including the ability to project the image as a teaching aid.

The camera does not move the optical paths, in other words, the image in the Mantis Head will be the same as through the camera.

The USB Camera produces a high resolution image with full field illumincation at 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x, and 15x.

Please contact any of us here at Matrix Sales and we'll be happy to offer you a free domonstration.
