An automatic component taping system is claimed to offer users outstanding flexibility and exceptional reliability.
Device packager has smaller components taped
The popular V-Tek TM-4450 is now available with support for taping of small devices including SOT23, 0805 and 0603 packages.
The 4710 automated programming system from BP Micro Systems is claimed to be one of the world's most advanced currently available.
Designed specifically for the latest high density devices and their longer programming times, it is the world's fastest system for programming Flash, while still offering the versatility to program FPGAs, antifuse FPGA, PLDs, and microcontrollers, including MCUs with embedded Flash memory.
It will handle all package types from DIP to uBGA.

Taping machine brings order to loose inventory
The V-Tek TM-4500 manual taping machine is billed as an ideal solution to help manage part inventories and increase purchasing efficiency.
By taking advantage of proven 7th generation BP Micro technology, the 4710 system provides the capability of programming devices with densities up to 4Gbit.
It incorporates the globally accepted high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus for communications, and by combining the industry's fastest universal programming technology with BP Micro's FX4 socket modules, the system can program up to 44 devices at the same time, resulting in four times the throughput.
The fast programming times (up to 0.24s/Mbit) and exceptional throughput (up to 1400 devices per hour) means an outstandingly low programming cost per device.
The system is flexible enough to work well in any production environment.
It is supported with a variety of input/output and marking options with tubes, trays or tape, and it also supports very low voltage devices down to 1.5V (Vdd).
A laser marking option allows components to be marked with type number, programming data, serialisation or date code.
The LCMP Laser Component Marking System is an economical, stand-alone laser marking system for electronic and small mechanical components.
It features a powerful 10W diode pumped laser to mark components to great accuracy, under the control of an advanced Windows OS and graphical user interface application.
Designed to provide a low cost, highly flexible marking resource within almost any production environment, the system incorporates a fully integrated marking head, worksite safety enclosure, control module and table top mounted chassis.
Within the control module are all the necessary system electronics, power supplies and computer elements that make this product a fully "plug and play" solution.
Within the marking head the laser is cooled by a self-contained de-ionised water cooler.
The system is configured with a 100 x 100mm marking field as standard, with further options available up to 200 x 200mm.
Accurate marking control is made simple via the supplied operating software, keyboard, mouse and graphical interface, allowing repeatable marking with beam resolution of 1.8um and positional accuracy of 0.1%.
To one end of the marking head is a work-site safety enclosure, equipped with a single opening access door, incorporating a safety viewing window, and internal lighting to provide process illumination.
The access door can be positioned on any side of the enclosure in order to optimise local operating positions.
The enclosure is also fitted with an extraction port which can be connected to external fume extraction facilities.
Other Adaptsys systems and solutions on show at Nepcon 2005 will include card duplication and test systems, component taping and counting solutions from V-Tek, and a wide range of semiconductor device handlers and probing systems from MC Systems.
