The AOM-700 pick-and-place work cell is said to be capable of picking odd-form components, connectors or a variety of other parts from a tube- or bowl-style feeder. Places each component onto a PCB, offers fully programmable x, y and z motion with inline conveyor, positive PCB location/clamping, and programmable picking head selection. Rotating head permits selection of the gripper position to be used for assembly.

PRO 6 series robotic soldering system reportedly provides multiple technologies built into a single work cell. The PRO 6Td is a dual-head soldering robot that may be configured with both iron tip and diode laser soldering heads. May be independently controlled for progressive assembly or used in sequence for high output.

The soldering head and automatic solder feeder are said to be dynamically independent and adjustable from one another. May be programmed to look for known fiducial points, analyze them and automatically center for a reported 100% pinpoint accuracy.

PolarChip SF3000 is a soft silicone-free, thermally conductive material suited for filling air gaps between heat-generating devices on PCBs. The highly compressible thermal gap pad is a fluoropolymer composite that consists of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene matrix filled with boron nitride particles. The reinforcing nature of the ePTFE matrix results in a composite that is said to be physically robust, easy to handle and does not require additional reinforcement. Produced in continuous rolls with a pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. Comes in sheets or rolls of precision die-cut parts suitable for high-volume automation assembly.
