The new iPulse M20 surface mount component placement machine is a mounter that is capable of assembling very large PCB’s of up to 1,240mm x 510mm.

It will handle component size range from 01005 to 120 x 90mm and has a feeder capacity of 144 lanes. It is rare to find a machine that will handle PCB’s of this size combined with such a large feeder capacity and it is available now from Blundell Production Equipment.

At Blundell Production Equipment we have what is most probably the widest and most comprehensive range of surface mounted component placement machines available anywhere, all backed by long warranties and reliable professional technical support.

There are three levels of smt mounting machine to choose from including the fast, accurate and highly flexible i-Pulse systems from the Yamaha Group of Japan. We can also offer the Fritsch mid range placement machines and the great value TWS Quadras for entry level and lower volume surface mount assembly. In fact, whatever your level of production,  we have a machine for almost every surface mount placement requirement.  We even have manual systems for prototyping.

The new year has got off to a good start. iPulse recently launched the new M20 which has replaced the M6 as their flagship SMT placement machine, and we have just completed the first  M20 installation at Teknoflex in Chichester. We have also recently finished installing 39 X-Treme Dry storage cabinets at Ultra Electronics. These were special low humidity storage cabinets with Nitrogen.

There is currently a lot of interest in the new ‘Prisma HD’ PCB inspection system which uses a high definition camera to show a crystal clear magnified view of assembled PCB’s on an HD television monitor.  The images are quite stunning, and it has to be seen to be believed!

We are also carrying out our first demonstrations of the Riebesam high end PCB cleaning machine. Early demonstrations are with Zestron’s Vigon cleaning solution mixed 20% with water and this is so far giving excellent results. We are inviting potential customers to our Coventry demo room for trials.

We will be exhibiting at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition (15^th – 16th Feburary) and we very much hope that we will see a good number of our customers there.

The problems of Tombstoning and Voids in vapour phase soldering have been largely overcome by IBL’s patented ‘Soft Vapour Phase’ technology and the ability of IBL machines to ‘profile in the Vapour’. These features, found on the IBL SLC and BLC machine ranges have revolutionised the Vapour Phase process and allow it to be used in a wider range of applications.

Blundell Production Equipment will be exhibiting at the Southern Electronics Exhibition in Farnborough 15th and 16th February 2012.

As well as the Ersa range of PCB and BGA rework stations, the new PRISMA HD high definition inspection system will also be on display. The Prisma HD gives highly magnified images on high definition TV so it is comfortable to view and the images are stunning in their clarity.

Blundell have a larger stand than usual at Southern Manufacturing and will have an SMT placement machine on the  stand as well.

The Ebso mini wave soldering system provides an automated way of selecting out individual solder joints on a printed circuit board for automatic soldering.

Each solder point is programmed in using simple ‘point and click’ software and the soldering nozzle tracks around soldering the programmed points or lines of connector leads etc.

Wave soldering machines with spray fluxers require an absorbent filter pad to be fitted in the hood of the spray fluxing chamber. These filters catch any overspray and prevent the inside of the fluxer chamber from being coated with white deposits from the flux.

The filters cost £29.50 for a box of 5 and are available from stock. For more details contact us on 02476 210270 or email sales@blundell.co.uk
