SAM-CT23W twin-table PCB router has a two-way flexible design for faster, high-precision processing. Accommodates two boards up to 9.8 x 13" (250 x 330mm). Converts to one large size fixture table that accommodates one PCB up to 13 x 20" (330 x 500mm). Automatic bit depth control feature extends bit life and reduces bit usage. Additional features include large component height clearance (top- and bottom-sides) as well as an easy-to-use, CAD-based, off-line software program.

CN-1751-4 underfill encapsulant is reportedly crack resistant; withstands flexing experienced by flexible printed circuitry or drops and shocks of thin printed circuit assemblies. Reportedly can withstand deformation without cracking; has a modulus higher than traditional reworkable underfills. Has a CTE of 48 ppm/°C. Viscosity is 900 cps. Can be reworked at 170° to 180°C to remove underfill fillet. Underfill residue is scraped off at 170° to 180°C.
