Servo-Flo 488 two-component fixed-ratio meter-mix dispense system is l for automated or manual high-volume dispensing applications. The servomotor design is ideal for manufacturers wanting one system to dispense small, medium and large volumes of a mixed material for different-sized part batches or extruded bead sizes.
 
The positive rod-displacement meter system can be used as a shot meter from 3 to 1400 cc and as a continuous-flow dispensing meter for infinite volume sizes of two-part epoxies, urethanes, silicones and acrylics. The servomotor design provides fixed-rate or variable-flow rate profiling, which varies the dispense rate on-ratio as needed to optimize filling operations, meet bead-diameter requirements and automation tip-speeds.
 
Three levels of operator interface controls handle any meter-mix production-dispensing application. Operator-interface control quickly sets output flow rates and adjusts material-volume settings. The automation or the operator can select different stored-flow and volume programs for different product-dispensing requirements.
 
Accepts low- to high-viscosity materials and is supplied by pumps or pressure tanks. Can be floor-mounted, portable-cart mounted or enclosed in a cabinet with many dispensing features.
 

AGI Corp. is producing titanium selective solder pallets for wave soldering applications, including PCBs with PTH components in close proximity to bottom side SMDs. Machining titanium vs. composites achieves ‘seal walls’ down to .020” thick (and.015” over short distances). Other benefits: no sagging during soldering and thinner floor thickness which reduces the “z” height solder must travel.

VisualCAM hosts a series of new features and technology, such as HyperNETLIST generation, which reportedly increases netlist generation performance over competitive tools by 5-10X. Offers Assembly Reverse Engineering functionality, which focuses on providing component centroid information when all a user has to work from is Gerber data.
 
Offers five different methods of component identification, including automatic processes that can work from information found within a standard bare-board production dataset. The results allow for a reverse engineering flow in as little as a few seconds.
 
Also contains to help increase throughput while processing data. Graphical Netlist Comparison performance has been increased 5X over GT-Fabricator, while Draw-to- Flash Conversion has been increased 5-10X. An automatic Draw-to-Flash conversion is now offered, which reduces the amount of “hands-on” time required. Paste Mask Stencil Enhancement offers greater control during shape replacement to minimize the iterations required to achieve the desired mask results.
 
Includes 100+ additional enhancements to core technology. Migration offers are available to GerbTool users that wish to upgrade, however both product lines will remain.

Ultra 2400 Dispensing Workstation allows electronics assemblers to apply uniform amounts of  solder paste, flux and other assembly fluids.
 
Removes guesswork and variability by using a precision air regulator and microprocessor-controlled timer to determine how much material is applied. Shot size is controlled through a combination of dispensing tip size, air pressure and dispense time, which is adjustable in .0001 sec. increments for exceptional control of deposit size.
 
Material is dispensed from a syringe barrel that can be held like a pen or mounted on an optional arm. To put an identical amount of material on each part, the operator just places the dispense tip in position and presses the electric foot pedal.
 
Includes simultaneous digital displays of all dispensing parameters (including air pressure, shot count, dispense time and vacuum), and a “Teach” function that simplifies initial setup. Can be programmed on-site in nine languages, provides automatic voltage conversion and includes power adapters for various countries.
 
Mounting panels and accessories allows customization. Options include a flexible task light, 1.7X magnifier for precision work, flexible syringe barrel mounting arm, and ergonomic grip with a touch-sensor finger switch and LED spotlight to illuminate the dispensing area.
 
Includes an introductory supply of syringe barrels, pistons and dispense tips, along with a 10-year warranty.
