Ascentech LLC will exhibit at and participate in the SMTA Long Island Expo & Tech Forum on October 18, 2017 at the Melville Marriott Long Island in New York. At the forum, Ascentech will highlight the Inspectis C12 and the GEN3 Gensonic Ultrasonic stencil cleaner, and will discuss all of the products in the Ascentech product line.
The Inspectis C12 is a plug & play, reliable and cost-effective high definition optical digital inspection system with 12:1 optical zoom, auto focus, integrated illumination, on-board controls and SD-card image capture. The C12 produces crisp images of inspection objects up to 90x magnification directly on an LCD monitor or PC.
The Gensonic is a manually-operated, ultrasonic transducer unit for cleaning stencils used in printing solder pastes and adhesives. It can be used either directly on the printer or at a separate cleaning station.
Ascentech, LLC is the North American Distributor for GEN3 Systems Ltd., offering the MUST Solderability test system (wetting balance), the Auto-SIR2 – Surface Insulation Resistance test system, the CM-Series Ionic Contamination Test system (R.O.S.E.), the Gensonic Ultrasonic stencil cleaner, and DC-Series conformal coating dip-coaters. Ascentech also distributes High Definition and Ultra High Definition inspection cameras from Inspectis Optical Systems AB and High Definition inspection cameras by Optilia Instruments AB. Ascentech personnel will be on hand to field questions regarding all of the abovementioned products and their benefits.
