New suite of production control tools offering track and trace capabilities
The Novatec team will be introducing a new suite of production control
tools offering track and trace capabilities to small and medium sized
organizations without the cost and implementation issues associated
with enterprise-wide software alternatives. ProcessWatch enables
manufacturers to trace boards and record events throughout the assembly
process and keep track of associated consumables, stencils and
tooling. Its real time production control capabilities offer
benefits to operators, process engineers and quality control managers
alike, including stencil/board/tooling compatibilities, materials
aging, events alerts, and much more.

The Novatec team will be also be demonstrating their Memory Shape
Tooling solution VacuNest. Visitors will learn how VacuNest
provides a unique solution to the problem of securely fixturing bottom
side populated assemblies for printing, dispensing and placement, now
available for backplanes and similar large format PCBs.
Novatec’s Shape Memory Tooling eliminates the many drawbacks of
dedicated tools and flexible pin alternatives while providing secure
support that removes the risk of component damage due to point force
pressures.
Each VacuNest module is a pliable anti-static chamber containing a foam
former surrounded by polymer granules. The chamber can be quickly
profiled to the shape of the underside of a populated board, and under
vacuum that profile can be retained indefinitely and quickly reformed
for product changeover in situ, VacuNest modules are
available in a range of sizes to accommodate boards up to 540mm x 540mm
and printing, dispensing and placement machinery from any
manufacturer
