PDR Americas is set to showcase its latest innovations at the 2024 IPC APEX EXPO. The event is scheduled to take place from April 9-11, 2024, at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. Visit PDR at Booth 3829 to experience firsthand the IR-E3 System for rework and the GenX90 w/ Vector Nav 3D CT Tomography for X-ray.
The PDR IR-E3 is an advanced rework station designed to cater to BGA/SMT components with precision and efficiency. This cutting-edge system boasts key features such as advanced focused IR component heating, quartz IR PCB preheating with up to 3 zones, and a Split Beam prism system enabling simultaneous PCB/component viewing.
The station ensures precision in component placement up to 10um, precise PCB handling, and includes a Component Nest/Flux Application Facility. With closed-loop non-contact temperature sensing, advanced automatic thermal process control, a reflow process observation camera, and PCB forced air cooling, the IR-E3 streamlines the rework process, setting a new standard for accuracy and control across a diverse range of components.
Additionally, PDR will showcase the GenX-90P, an ultra-high-performance X-ray system designed for precision inspection. Key features include:
- Compact system, accommodating PCB sizes up to 21” (533mm) X 17.5” (445mm)
- Customizable Flat Panel Detectors or Image Intensifier options
- 90kV, 8 Watt, 4um X-Ray tube, 0.18mA with Magnification up to 1100X
Primarily designed for BGA inspection and analysis, counterfeit inspection, porosity/voiding detection, medical device inspection, wire bond inspection, and LED inspection, this system ensures precise and reliable results. With radiation levels less than 1 uSv/hr (0.1 mR/hr) and compliance with USFDA 21 CFR-1, J-1000, 1020.40 standards, it prioritizes safety in all operations. The GenX-90P is equipped with programmable 4-axis (X, Y, Z1/Z2) fully motorized motion control, facilitating comprehensive inspection capabilities. Its BGA/QFN/Flip Chip software includes Pass/Fail criteria, Sphere Size, Void analysis, and a 3D Gray Scale Option.
