NanoSlic Gold stencil, for solder paste printing, has a coated stencil underside and aperture walls, making them highly hydrophobic and oleophobic in order to repel solder paste. Coating is thermally cured and permanent, and said to improve solder paste transfer efficiencies for small apertures, resulting in higher yields and less rework. reportedly minimizes bridging and reduces underside cleaning. Is compatible with current assembly equipment and processes.

VPH100 PCB holders, for double-sided probing of printed circuit boards, feature quick-release levers, coarse adjustment screws and magnetic bases for secure grip on PCBs ranging from 2" to 18" in the vertical position for double-sided probing applications. Are benchtop-sized. Magnetic, stackable design can be reconfigured for testing boards in diverse form factors without the need of any additional tool.
ESM-200 multifunctional magazine handling system is configured for front-of-line, end-of-line or middle-of-line. Works as a line loader, line unloader or magazine rack buffer (LIFO or FIFO), and can handle post-AOI sorting or act as a pass-through conveyor. Automatic width adjustment option facilitates product changeover. Comes in four sizes. Intuitive touch panel for configuration as needed. Roller wheels permit easy movement throughout the factory without use of fork lift or hand truck.
