 AccuFlex in-line printers. The upgrade is immediately available for both new and for upgrade on installed AccuFlex systems.

Accuflex printers provide a highly reliable, fast and accurate means of applying solder paste and other PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

 materials and are ideally suited for moderate volume, high-mix printing at a cost-effective price. The system combines accuracy and unparalleled flexibility in a compact footprint, providing only what is needed for efficient and precise printing, while offering a full range of options for future expansion.

Speedline's newest software release delivers a number of features requested by current customers. Two advancements expand the capabilities of the printer for the production of smaller, higher density boards with fine-pitch ball grid array “BGA” redirects here. For other uses, see BGA (disambiguation).

A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits.
 (BGA (Ball Grid Array) A popular surface mount chip package that uses a grid of solder balls as its connectors. Available in plastic and ceramic varieties, BGA is noted for its compact size, high lead count and low inductance, which allows lower voltages to be used. ) and chip scale package A chip scale package (CSP) (sometimes, chip-scale package with a hyphen) is a type of integrated circuit chip carrier. According to the IPC, to qualify as chip scale, the package must have an area no greater than 1.2 times that of the die that is being packaged.  (CSP (1) (Certified Systems Professional) An earlier award for successful completion of an ICCP examination in systems development.

) components. These are:

--Fine-pitch Vision Alignment Option for more precise alignment for boards with ultra-fine pitch devices

--Enhanced functionality to Teach Custom Ball Grid Array (BGA) Devices for 2D Inspection and store these device patterns in a device library for easy retrieval

Two additional enhancements, which provide for improved process monitoring and reduced operator Mean Time to Assist (MTTA MTTA Machine Tool Technologies Association (United Kingdom)

), are:

--Offline programming capability using CAD or Gerber data via Aegis Industrial Software Corporation's CircuitCAM Machine Programming software. CircuitCAM Machine Programming modules radically reduce machine programming time for through-hole and surface mount production, inspection, and process machine interfaces.

--Off-line monitoring capability using iMonitor software, a feature-rich reporting and performance analysis tool, providing completely browser-based remote monitoring by station, machine, line, factory or the entire enterprise - over a Web or network connection. iMonitor is also available from Aegis Industrial Software Corporation.

In addition, the software release now meets the newest industry standard for information transfer - XMLprotocol. The CAMX CAMX Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions

 interface enables the software to seamlessly communicate printer operation messages to a host computer for system monitoring as well as provide for the easy interchange of data with other XML-based software throughout the production facility.

"The enhancements provided by our latest software upgrade strengthen and broaden the production, operational, and communication capabilities of the AccuFlex system as the leading printing solution delivering maximum efficiency, quality, and throughput for the SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount.
