Trident II is said to be capable of removing all flux residues including rosin, no-clean and water-soluble, and lead and Pb-free residues. Comes with a closed-loop wash solution recycling system. All rinse water is directed through the pre-drain filtration system, then drained. Assemblies are dried via on-board convection and radiant forced air dryers. Zero-discharge evaporation system optional.

A boundary scan-VTEP hybrid is said to offer in-circuit test users a way to test assemblies in a limited access environment. Combines standardized, limited access, digital stimulus capability of boundary scan with vectorless VTEP. Permits boards to be designed with less electrical test access. Available to Agilent customers with valid software upgrade contracts for i3070 and VTEP-equipped fixtures.

EnviroGuard 100% closed-loop stencil cleaner is said to clean all types of solder paste with a 100% closed-loop process: wash and rinse. Matched properties of 440-R SMT detergent to a specifically designed filtration/UV system that facilitates zero VOCs of wash and rinse solutions. Reportedly captures for recycling 99% of the waste paste from stencils and misprinted PCBs. The remaining 1% is said to be removed by the filtration system. Is zero discharge, with no venting requirements. Retrofits to the company’s existing stencil cleaners.
