PL165i/PL165r
Spring 2008 – Our newest product platform is our 165 series of Applicators. These Applicators provide a capacity for components up to 100 x 165mm in size with extreme accuracy (as good as +/- 0.05mm), high reliability, and maximum affordability.

PL100EPi
+/- 0.0175mm Placement Accuracy! (Third-party study results) – April 2008 – An NSI customer has conducted an independent study of the placement accuracy of a PL100i Applicator configured with the optional EP upgrade package. The customer component was a rectangular Insulating Tape component of outside dimensions approximately 75 x 75mm with a large portion of the center of the rectangle removed (i.e., a ‘frame’ shaped component) Across a 500 pc study sample the customer measured a total placement range of 70 microns (0.070mm) or +/- 35 microns (0.035mm). This total range dimension included any variability in placement of the die-cut component by the PL100i and also added variation in the Fixture for the substrate to which the Tape was applied. In addition, a variation in the die-cut wall of the component was measured at 40 microns. This means that the PL100EPi system contribution to the placement range was actually 35 microns, or +/- 17.5 microns. Indeed, this customer was greatly pleased with the results and determined that the PL100EPi provided a process capability (Cpk) of greater than 2.5!
