Lacing machine
In February 2013, Electromech launched the Trimfit 100 coil-binding machine for use in motor manufacturing lines. The machine is equipped with a servo in combination with a programmable logic controller, which enhances the adaptability of the machine to cover a wide range of motors and alternators. Changing over from 2-pole to 4-pole, or alternate coil to continuous coil binding, is just a matter of choice of the program. The small footprint of the machine enables flexible production line configuration and efficient utilisation of the production floor.

Vector signal transceiver
In February 2013, National Instruments launched its second vector signal transceiver, NI PXIe-5645R, which is built on a software-designed architecture that engineers can modify with LabVIEW to meet their specific needs. The new vector signal transceiver adds a high-performance, differential or single-ended I/Q interface to test both the RF and baseband signals of a device with a single instrument for faster test times using the latest PC and FPGA technologies. Its key features include a 65 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, 80 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, 24 channels of high-speed digital I/Q, and a baseband I/Q interface with 16-bit data sampled at 120 MS/s with up to 80 MHz of complex bandwidth, configurable as differential or single ended.

Benchtop AOI
In February 2013, Manncorp introduced Sherlock-300F, a bench-top automated optical inspection (AOI) system that has a radical new design with advanced features to provide comprehensive defect coverage even on densely populated boards with components as small as 01005s. Sherlock-300F eliminates the drawer design typical of bench-top AOI systems. Instead, assemblies are fed into the machine on the built-in conveyor. This minimises the machine’s footprint and allows the system’s oversized display to be positioned directly in front of the user rather than set back or off to the side.
Geared towards low to mid volume electronics assemblers who require close to zero per cent failure rates for military, medical and other high-end customers and products, Sherlock-300F helps manufacturers decrease their failure rates and move yields from an average of 60-70 per cent to nearly 100 per cent.
