Ultraspeed Trio drilling and milling systems is three stations in one machine. Newer drilling unit increases frequency approximately 33% to 1,200 strokes/min. Tolerance in precision was reduced down to +15μm. Each station has two different spindles. Division of spindle types among drilling heads can be chosen: twice drilling (micro-drilling of <0.1mm and holes up to 6.35mm), two times milling (for FR-4 and IMS) or a combination with drilling and milling. A new interchangeable pressure foot for drilling and milling is on the same spindle. Can switch from drilling insert to milling blank insert. A drilling-milling spindle works in the revolutions range of 10,000 to 140,000 turns per min. Each station has its own spindle axis and table axis. Spindle and z-drive are placed on top of each other.

HSIO validation assistant is a data mining tool for ScanWorks. Automatically analyzes database of signal integrity test data and quantifies risk associated with potential design flaws or poorly performing devices on a system’s high-speed input/output (HSIO) buses. Organizes and correlates validation database to identify vulnerabilities. Redundant validation testing can be identified and eliminated. ScanWorks HVA has been integrated into ScanWorks HSIO; validates signal integrity on high-speed buses on Intel circuit board designs.

Parts Concierge virtual assistant allows hardware engineers to request any part be built and added to their design on their behalf. Parts are created by Upverter component engineers, in real-time. Upon adding a part to a design, the part will be built in real-time. Frees engineers from creating and verifying schematic symbols and footprints for any electronic component. All requested parts are verified for accuracy and join a parts library accessible to all users.
