Laboratory-style acoustic micro-imaging tool NORDSON Sonoscan, a developer and producer of acoustic micro imaging (AMI) tools, has announced its new Gen7™ laboratory-style acoustic micro-imaging tool. The new Gen7 AMI tool enhances operator productivity and part throughput rate by providing greater versatility in transducer movement, faster scanning of samples and faster processing of data. Orders are now being taken for the Gen7 AMI tool, which, like its predecessors in the Nordson Sonoscan C-SAM ® line, is designed for analytical work on small numbers of samples, although it can also screen modest quantities of components. and Sonolytics 2™ user in- terface have replaced Windows 7 andSonolytics™, respectively. Intel’s i7 seventh-gener- ation chips make the sys- tem’s computer hardware 33 per cent faster, giving, for example, quicker deliv- ery of digital image analy- sis. Both monitors have high-resolution 4K screens to reveal more detail.

The system includes Waterplume™ technology, so a separate C-SAM tool is not needed to image IGBT modules. Frequently used menu items now appear in the

Features include 50 per cent higher screening throughput from faster transducer motors; and a significantly enlarged scan area, allowing more parts to be scanned at the same time. The upward and downward range of Z movement of the transducer is more than doubled to enable scanning of samples having a greater range of height variation. The Windows 10 operating system
