The Vertical DES line (developing/etching/stripping) provides homogeneous process results by symmetric chemical treatment on both sides. Provides integrated contact-free inline clamping transport for ultra-thin core down to 25µm thickness. Has fine line etching capability down to 25µm lines and spaces.
IDF-to-3D tool creates a 3D data model of an assembled printed circuit board. Outputs IDF data using any printed circuit board software. Checks and verifies dimensions and position of components, such as keyboard sections, plugs, sockets etc. on the soft version before design is frozen.
Magic PCB embeds RFID chips into a printed circuit board. Embeds components during initial production, permitting identification and traceability throughout the manufacturing process. Embedded RFID chips function within the UHF frequency bands (860MHz to 960 MHz) and can be operated globally.
EMA Part Link is a Cadence OrCAD Capture app that connects parts on the schematic to the Digi-Key database of immediately available components. Allows downloads of part information directly into the part on the schematic. Common information needed, like manufacturer, manufacturer part number, distributor, and distributor part number, are all mapped by default. Automatically selects fields for download based on the part’s properties, and downloads additional information into part properties that are created on the fly. This works with any field Digi-Key supplies for the part, like tolerance, packaging, operating temperature, and pricing. Applies same downloaded part information to all identical parts.
DFMStream version 10.8 design for manufacturing tool features improved analysis flow to shorten the time required to setup a design for DfM and to quickly parse the resulting analysis data to isolate potential manufacturing defects prior to PCB fabrication. New functionality includes a pre-process check that automatically prepares imported CAM data for DfM checking without modifying the original data. This pre-process removes covered and redundant data, optimizes polygon data, and auto-detects and ignores text strings that are often found in Gerber files. This intelligent processing reduces the amount of data manipulation required to get meaningful DfM results. Other enhancements include locking and unlocking layer visibility during error cross-probing while retaining error marker location; limiting annular ring checks to associated pads; and improved zoom control when probing DfM errors. Analysis results provide greater detail to help resolve DfM conflicts and users are given a quick “pass/fail” status of each check to ensure which checks were processed and which checks failed. Includes IPC-2581 import and export functions.
CAM350 version 10.8 offers new IPC-2581 functionality, usability enhancements to Streams Rules Checks, and live product updates provided via RSS Feed.
BluePrint-PCB v. 3.5 documentation tool features a new Document wizard to automate document creation, new release update functionality for large installations, UNICODE export support for PDF Export, new system variables, significant modifications to partlist tables for variants, GD&T sizing for callout shapes, case detection for spell checking, and improvements to noteblocks and drill charts.
