Dear Subscriber: This months' newsletter announces a new web-based tool for generating part numbers for StencilQuik(TM) and EZReball(TM). We invite you to see us at the following upcoming tabletop exhibits: At the Detroit show BEST will be discussing BGA and leadless device rework practices. See more here. It was great meeting 50+ engineers and techs at our APEX work shop! |

Laser Gun Fired from Navy Ship  A high-energy laser (HEL) fired from a US warship off the California coast has ignited a nearby boat. See video.
Similar systems had previously been tested on land, however moist sea air presented an extra challenge as it reduces a beam's power.
The navy said that ship-borne lasers could eventually be used to protect vessels from small attack boats.
Early systems used large, chemical-based lasers which tended to produce dangerous waste gasses.
More recently, scientists have developed solid state lasers that combine large numbers of compact beam generators, similar to LEDs. The US Navy system uses a Joint High Power Solid State Laser mounted on deck.

| StikNPeel(TM) Rework Stencils Now 24 Hr Turn Time |
 BEST has developed a new "StikNPeel" rework stencil which insures board to stencil coplanarity. It is flexible for tight space requirements and does not need to be cleaned. This makes for a more repeatable, faster rework process.
These stencils are available in either 4, 5 or 6 mil thickness.
COST: ONLY $80.00 for a package of (10) stencils.
