Thermofilm heat-activated films are said to resist heat, solvents and plasticizers and provide high-cohesive strength for long-term performance. Have a relatively low bonding temperature, for use on temperature-sensitive substrates.

Thermofilm heat-activated films form permanent bonds to metal, plastic, ceramic and woven materials. Can be used for assembly of memory cards, mobile phones, smart cards, flex circuits and print cartridges.

KIC Vision is an automatic profiler designed to eliminate manual tasks associated with profiling for reflow ovens. Said to run in the background continuously and automatically and provide profiles as frequently as once per hour. Relies on embedded sensors in the reflow oven and Virtual Profiling software to accurately measure the product profile. Reportedly, the product profile – after a baseline - is automatically measured and logged. Measured profile data said to include peak temperature, soak, fit to process window and more.

Servo-Flo 801-HV meter-mix dispensing system is designed to apply small precision beads and metered shots of precisely mixed resins. Said to provide longer bead lengths and an increased quantity of metered shots. Reportedly provides consistent and repeatable bead profiles and a change of flow rate during the dispense cycle.

Is designed to provide a variety of preset profiles and dispense results from 0.2 to 18 cc at a 1-to-1 ratio. Can be preset to vary flow rate during dispensing in automated, indexing, XYZ-motion and robotic processes.

Includes special mix-dispense long-life valve for high-cycle applications. Disposable mixers dispense epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones and acrylics.

The VSA-1214 and VSA-1215 Vibration Spectrum analyzers are PDA-based and enable use of vibration analysis in monitoring, predictive maintenance, and routine troubleshooting to reduce costs and downtime. Include reporting software that imports data from the analyzer into an Excel-based application.

Reportedly displays and records overall vibration and ISO vibration severity alerts, as well as acceleration waveforms with a resolution of up to 6,400 points (3,200 points for the VSA-1214); and acceleration, velocity, or displacement spectra with up to 3,200 lines of FFT resolution (1,600 FFT lines for the VSA-1214). User-selectable maximum frequencies are said to range from 50 Hz to 20 KHz (50 Hz to 10 KHz for the VSA-1214).
