ASCENTECH to Introduce GEN3 CM+ Systems at IPC/APEX 2016

Ascentech, LLC, the North American distributor for GEN3 Systems products and other quality lines of test and productivity solutions, will be introducing the new GEN3 CM+ Systems at IPC/APEX.  These systems will be shown for the first time in North America during IPC/APEX.  On display in booth #2225 will be the CM22+, one of the award-winning CM+ range of contaminometers from GEN3. This new design is linked to the introduction of the new process control metric introduced by GEN3, e.g., Process Ionic Contamination Testing.

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 CM+ Contaminometer series utilize a solid gold test-cell, ballistic amplifiers and vigorous pumping systems to ensure superior measurement precision even at very low conductivity values. PC-based software is used to produce graphical test data, a pass/fail analysis and automatic hard copy print out using test methods according to the prevailing standards. CM+ systems also feature high-speed testing in 3 minutes; full regeneration in typically < 6 minutes; accurate measurement even when the ratio of board surface area/test solution volume is large; automatic temperature compensation; measurement in accordance with all international and MIL specifications old and new; a new range of PCB/component handling frames, with an integrated draining system; and more.

Additionally, ASCENTECH will exhibit the Optilia HD camera inspection systems and a BGA inspection station; Ascentech, LLC is the North American Distributor for Optilia Instruments AB. Ascentech will also exhibit the GEN3 Solder Saver, a hand-held, compact system for separating dross from good solder.
