Seika Showcases New Manufacturing Equipment at APEX

TORRANCE, CA — January 2018 — Seika Machinery, Inc., a provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, today announced plans to exhibit in Booth #2043 at the 2018 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Feb. 27 – March 1, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center in Ca. Seika will showcase a complete lineup of leading-edge equipment, including the latest models from McDry, Sawa, Sayaka, HIOKI and MALCOM.

The HIOKI FA1240 Flying Probe Tester provides a variety of benefits compared to conventional testing machinery. Some of these benefits include jig-less inspection for quick setup, and the proficient testing of mis-mounted components, faulty components, and poor contacts.

The Sawa Ecobrid SC-AH100 Fully Automatic Low-VOC Stencil Cleaner provides a 66 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions and energy consumption over the previously fully automatic cleaning system offered as well as a huge reduction in running costs. Additionally, the system cleans and dries in just ten minutes or less.

The Sawa Eco-Nozzle Mounter Nozzle Cleaner is capable of cleaning up to 20 nozzles at a time. With the system, ultrasonically-vibrated water thoroughly passes through every nozzle opening. Double-cleaning power is generated with ultrasonic-energy cleaning and simultaneous vacuum suction. Nozzle tips and apertures can be cleaned without leaving any residue.

Sayaka CT23NJ PCB Router provides stress-free depanelization along with a fixture-based highly efficient dust vacuum system. In addition to clean and precise depanelization for densely populated PCBs, the router features advanced image-processing software with point-and-click operation for programming router paths.

The new McDry DXU-1001A high-performance dry cabinet maintains 1% RH levels. All McDry ultra-low humidity storage cabinets conform to IPC/JEDEC J-STD 033C and IPC 1601 Standards. Additionally, the ESD-safe design adheres to the IEC-61340-5-1 (ESD) Standard. McDry cabinets dehumidify ICs to prevent micro-cracking and are an alternative to baking, MBBs and nitrogen storage.

The DXU-580YF McDry Yamaha Feeder Cabinet has been designed for Yamaha feeder storage, models YS and ZITA. The cabinet holds up to 21 feeders with tape and reel. It safely dehumidifies and stores MSDs in reels at an ultra-low humidity level of one percent RH. The McDry Yamaha Feeder Cabinet conforms to IPC-J-STD 033C.

Seika also will highlight the UNITECH UC-250M-CV PCB Board Cleaner. The UC-250M-CV takes all the features of the UC-250M and adds a dual cleaning feature using a combination of a brush roller with the silicone/adhesive cleaning rollers. The combination dual dust removal system assures better results than a single brush or adhesive roller system.

The MALCOM RCX Series Modular Reflow Oven Profiling System offers complete profiling of reflow ovens, including oven temperature, video imaging, O₂ concentration and convection air velocity. It verifies that ovens are performing at optimal conditions, and enables users to troubleshoot problem areas.

The MALCOM PCU-02V Spiral Viscometer is designed for expensive material testing and analysis by obtaining the viscosity characteristics with only a 0.2cc sample. MALCOM’s unique Spiral Sensor provides continuous measurement of non-newtonian fluids with good repeatability.
