The 1860 Digital Megohmmeter is designed for measuring insulation resistance of components, leakage resistance measurements on capacitors and for resistivity tests on samples of insulating material.

The economical unit, with large LCD display, is said to be easy to setup and operate in all test environments. Comes standard with an RS-232 and remote control interface. Limit) Function/NO-go Display Indicator

Quick-select programming, simple controls and indicators combine for efficiency of test and productivity. Simple, intuitive front panel connection and programming. Is lightweight, portable.

Both the test voltage and resistance measuring range are readily accessible allowing an operator to make changes quickly. Provides operator programmable charge and measure times out to 999 seconds.Visual display enables a quick perception status and display of the test results as text (Digital) and bar graph (Analog).

Can be integrated into an automated manufacturing environment with remote start and GO/NO-go results output. Includes a built-in calibration function that checks the accuracy of the measuring voltage and current measure circuit.

The Nikon ECLIPSE LV series includes the ECLIPSE LV150, LV150A (with automated nosepiece) and the ECLIPSE LV100D (episcopic/diascopic illumination) microscopes. Said to address the need for precise microscopy measuring solutions to keep up with higher performance demands in the semiconductor and medical device markets, the rapid development of new materials and the inspection requirements of components with widely varying dimensions.

The modular design allows versatility and flexibility that enables it to cover a variety of applications, from development and quality control to manufacturing inspection. Reportedly provide superb performance when inspecting semiconductors, flat panel displays, packages, electronics substrates, materials, medical devices and other samples. Can accommodate sample heights from 47 to 82mm by inserting a column riser between the main body and arm of the microscope. This feature is useful for viewing the surface of precision molds, optical materials and other thick samples.

Accepts industry-supplied stages handle samples up to 116.5 mm, for observation of fiber ends and other tools. Features a range of industrial stages and accessories, all are durable with a new triple plate design.

A variety of observation methods are available, including: first order compensator, UV polarizing and epi-fluorescence -- in addition to brightfield, darkfield, DIC and simple polarizing. Have a high- intensity, low-power consumption white halogen light source, and an adjustable high intensity mercury fiber light source.

MYLabel keeps track of each individual reel, stick or tray used in an SMT production line. Vital production data, such as tape pitch, orientation, batch code and quantity, are stored in a central database and used for feeder loading and complete traceability. New features include easy data extraction from the supplier’s barcode label and barcode-activated functions for ergonomics.

When registering part deliveries, the software will recognize the component supplier’s barcode label, regardless of format and coding standard, and extract the part number, quantity and batch ID. Attribute parameters, such as tape pitch and orientation, are then extracted from the part database, and a new entry is created. The risk of mislabeled parts is eliminated, since no manual data entry is involved in the registration and labeling process.

Features sound signals that alert the operator about error conditions, and barcode-activated instructions for common tasks, like Print and Discard.

Integrates with other factory software using ODBC/SQL.
