FKI Logistex has added new features to its 2100 and 2200 series vertical carousels to cater to the SMT, pharmaceutical and automotive dealership industries.
Designed to promote ergonomics, security and safety, the high-throughput capacities and small footprints of the 2100 and 2200 carousels are ideal for high-density small item storage and retrieval solutions.
For the SMT market, the company has added a 19-in. pitch to the 2200 series. The new pitch allows both 7 and 14 in. standard reels to be stored in the same unit. Also has a removable intermediate shelf to enable customization and offers various ESD totes and storage media to maximize unit capacity.
In the semiconductor industry, FKI Logistex will offer an automated variation of the 2100 series, designed to accommodate clean room standards up to Class 1.
Other new features include an upgraded standard keypad controller that allows the operator to key in the pan number for product retrieval and the ability to upgrade the units for software control.

Full spectrum lighting (FSL), a critical feature for lead-free assembly and inspection applications, is now supplied free of charge on all illuminated magnifier products. Full spectrum light contains the entire range of visible wavelengths, so that the human eye can see all objects and a range of materials; helps to inspect lead-free solder connections.
According to president Richard May, "Lead-free solder connections are not smooth and shiny like those of lead-bearing solders; they are rough, irregular and frosty-looking. This surface appearance makes it even more difficult to see microscopic cracks, voids and defects in a solder joint, or to judge between an acceptable defect level and an unacceptable one. Full Spectrum Lighting gives the inspector or assembler a critical edge in working with lead-free connections, adding enhanced visibility to duller and rougher lead-free alloys so that effective inspection can be accomplished."
