Gen3, Global leader in SIR, CAF, Solderability, Ionic Contamination & process optimisation equipment, is excited to announce its participation in the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Expo, taking place Feb. 6-8, 2024 at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. GEN3 will be exhibiting a range of innovative products, including MEK's JDz650 inline and Desktop Verispector AOI systems, MBTech's N29 SA4 Stencil Cleaning Equipment, and the GEN3 AutoSIR2+ and NEW CM Series.
MEK JDz650 and Desktop Verispector AOI Systems: MEK's iSpector JDz AOI systems, featuring a 5-megapixel camera, offer advanced inspection capabilities for both SMT and THT solder joints. The JDz utilizes a Z-axis for maximum flexibility in THT and sandwiched SMD inspection, allowing inspection of objects at different height levels. The VeriSpector AOI system is a cost-effective solution for inspecting THT components before they enter the wave or selective soldering machine, providing real-time assembly and placement inspection with short inspection times of under 5 seconds.
MBTech N29 SA4 Stencil Cleaning Equipment: The N29 SA4 Stencil Cleaning Equipment from MBTech boasts stainless steel construction, automation with PLC, ultrasonic cleaning system, closed-loop water-based process with patented filtration, rinsing with filtered cleaning liquid, and water-free operation. This state-of-the-art equipment is designed for high-precision cleaning of stencils, ensuring efficiency, low power consumption, and superior results.
GEN3 AutoSIR2+: GEN3's AutoSIR2+ system represents a significant advancement in SIR (Surface Insulation Resistance) testing. With shielded precision electronics, it allows state-of-the-art accuracy resistance measurements up to 10^14Ω. The system can monitor up to 256 x 2-point test patterns or 78 x 5-point test patterns, providing a full picture of electrochemical reactions on a circuit assembly. The frequent monitoring capability enables early trend analysis, saving considerable test time and money.
NEW CM Series: GEN3 will introduce the NEW CM Series with redesigned software and hardware for an enhanced user experience. The system offers accelerated testing cycles, completing within 3 minutes, without compromising accuracy. The CM Series optimizes measurement capability, delivering better accuracy and stability.
GEN3 will also represent other key principles in the UK and Ireland market, including Finetech, Hirox, and Nordson.
Visit GEN3 at Stand C100 during the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Expo to explore these cutting-edge solutions and gain insights into the future of electronics manufacturing.
