Ascentech Exhibiting Contamination Testing, Optical Inspection Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO 2017
January 19, 2017 | Ascentech, LLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ascentech LLC, the North American distributor for GEN3 Systems products and other quality lines of test and productivity solutions, will be exhibiting the latest innovative contamination testing, optical inspection, and other productivity-enhancing technology at the IPC APEX EXPO 2017 event in San Diego.
Ascentech will show the remarkable GEN3 CM22+, one of the company's award-winning CM+ range of contaminometers. 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 CM22+ is a freestanding system able to accommodate larger assemblies while maintaining a low surface area to test solution ratio.
The Six Sigma-verified CM Series is the World's first and only combined ROSE and PICT tester. The system accurately measures the amount of ionic contamination present on a circuit board, component or assembly.
Also shown will be HD camera inspection systems and a BGA inspection station from Optilia Instruments AB, an OEM provider of obstruction‐free, fatigue‐free High‐definition benchtop inspection for PCB assembly, and real‐time BGA inspection solutions. Ascentech, LLC is the North American Distributor for Optilia. Ascentech will also exhibit the GEN3 Solder Saver, a hand-held, compact system for separating dross from good solder.
