Award-winning CM series presented at IPC APEX 2017

The 6-Sigma, award-winning ionic contamination test systems CM+ Series will be on display. The CM+ Series are the world’s only combined ROSE and PICT Ionic Contamination Test System.

The CM+ Series features include: 

• Complete testing within only three minutes
• The entire tank volume is re-circulated six times every minute (CM33L up to 240l/min)
• Solid gold measuring cell, ballistic amplifier providing a test accuracy of <0.005mS/cm
• CURVE-FITTING Analysis algorithm (Merit of Fit)
• Full regeneration in typically less than six minutes
• Smooth bubble-free circulation at all times
• Accurate measurement even when the proportion of test solution to surface area under test are huge
• Automatic temperature compensation
• Measures in accordance with all international and MIL specifications old and new
• New range of PCB/Component handling frames, with integrated draining system.  

The Contaminometer series from Gen3 Systems come in six different models and six different tank sizes - when selecting a Test System, for optimum results, it is important to use the smallest possible tank size for the circuit under test. The CM+ Series comprise: CM11+, CM22+, CM33+, CM33L+, CM60 and CMBBT.

Also on the booth will be the Award Winning AutoSIR 2 / AutoCAF 2 Insulation Resistance Testers.

The key features of both the NEW AutoSIR2 and AutoCAF2 Measurement systems provide the following product enhancements:

• Measurement Time: 256 Channels less than eight seconds
• Applied Voltage: 1-500V
• CLR1000 extends the test voltage to 1000V
• Measurement Range: 10⁶ Ω to 10¹⁴ Ω
• Measurement Method: Continuous on all selected tests
• Measurement Test Intervals: Fully selectable from minimum of one minute
• Capable of testing to all existing test specifications IPC - IEC - JNC and other user specifications

Both the AutoSIR2 and AutoCAF2 Systems are available with 64, 128 or 256 channel configurations.

Gen3 Systems also will give a joint presentation with Robert Bosch on the subject of Process Ionic Contamination Testing achieving 6-Sigma verification.

Gen3 Systems’ new Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Chris Hunt will present as all, and will discuss verification testing for the new IPC-B-53 Test Coupon for the next revision of the SIR Test Method.
