Non-Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTC) provides efficient thermal coupling of electrical and electronic components. Provides non-creep characteristics and thermal conductivity even at high temperatures: 0.9 W/m.K. Has a broad operating temperature range (-50º to +130º) and offers low toxicity. HTC Plus (HTCP) provides even higher thermal conductivity at 2.8 W/m.K with superior heat transfer characteristics.
Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTSP) is a thermally conductive paste for special applications where thermal management is critical. Operates from -50º to +200º, is a metal oxide filled silicone oil providing thermal conductivity at 3.0W/m.K.
The flame retardant ER 2074 epoxy resin exhibits thermal conductivity and is free of abrasive fillers such as alumina. Ensures less wear on mix and dispense and other processing equipment. Shows low viscosity when mixed and the exotherm temperature rise on curing is low.
Aquacoat Plus eliminates the need for extraction and other precautions normally required for the application of conventional solvent-based conformal coatings. The aqueous conformal coating is non-flammable, contains low levels of VOCs and no isocyanates, so it can be soldered through without fear of highly toxic gases being produced. Is phenol-free, so is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate. Based on polymeric materials, offers adhesion on a variety of substrates and a wide operating temperature range. Available in two formulations: WBP is the standard product and WBPS (Sprayable) is for use in selective film coating equipment. Is DEF-STAN, MIL and IPC-CC-830 and RoHS compliant.
Flexible Lead-Free Conformal Coating (LFCC) is transparent and fast drying. Designed to protect electronic circuitry processed with lead-free soldering products, it provides adhesion to lead-free flux and fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection. Can be soldered through without highly toxic gases being produced and is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate.

Ovation Products has released the Quik-Lok PCB clamping system for MPM UP2000 and AP25-27 series printers. The device eliminates the conventional vacuum chamber board fixture common on most MPM printers and is field retrofitted in approx. one hour.
The clamp provides secure, “over the top” PCB clamping as well as a tool-less, hands-off product changeover.
Installation of this product enables the use of Ovation’s Grid-Lok automatic support tooling.

Sonoscan was granted US Patent #6,895,820 covering the Virtual Rescanning Module (VRM).
The VRM technique permits engineers to acquire and save acoustic echo data from the entire volume of a part such as an integrated circuit package. The saved digital file can later be rescanned to make acoustic images as though the file were the physical IC package.
VRM is widely used to preserve data about parts before they go into production or into testing. After a part has been altered by heat, testing or other factors, it is no longer too late to examine the part in its original condition.
In advanced flip-chip production, VRM is used with the patented Sonoscan method for Frequency Domain Imaging (FDI) to perform high-resolution non-destructive analysis of critical flip-chip interfaces.

K4000 PCB singulator depanelizes skip routed PCB panels up to 24" long. Simply place the bottom scoreline of the PCB onto the linear blade and step on a guarded foot switch to bring the circular blade across the top scoreline for clean separation of the PCB panels. Right and left blade guards assure operator safety. The front and back support and take up table are height adjustable.
Available with optional light beam safety curtain across the front of the blades for additional operator safety, and a conveyor belt to bring singulated PCBs to the side for easy removal. An infrared sensor on the end of the conveyor will stop the belt for PCBs with components on them. Scrap pieces will pass underneath the sensor beam into a discard bin.
Tooling to help the operator align panels is also available.
R100 is a high-speed, tabletop PCB router with built-in dust extraction channels. Can be used to finish singulating tab-routed PCB panels by manual operation. Two guide pins, one in back of the router bit and one in front of the router bit assure that the board will move past the router bit along the line of the routing channel, for clean, straight separation of the panel. The front guide pin can be brought in and out from the tooling bit to match the tab size on the PCB. Rotating the guide pin positioning collet will let the operator match the curvature of the cutting path to that of a round PCB panel.
Can be used as back up for high-volume routing or punch systems. In-house dust extraction vacuum can be connected to the tool, or a dust extraction vacuum is available separately.

See-Flo 202 Air-Draulic meter system is the second in the Micro-Meter 2 product line. It is a positive-displacement, two-component meter-mix dispensing system to apply precision beads and metered shots of precisely mixed resins such as epoxies, acrylics, urethanes and silicones. AirDraulic (air-over-oil) drive motor is said to provide consistent, repeatable bead profiles and adjustable metered shot volumes. Reportedly improves production rates and product quality and reduces manufacturing costs.
AirDraulic drive control provides a preset material-dispensing profile with consistent dispense results. The volume is easily and quickly changed to dispense precisely mixed materials for different part configurations. Can be used in various two-component meter, mix and dispense applications such as bonding, gasketing or potting applications for manual, automated, indexing, XYZ-motion and robotic processes. The control panel accepts commands directly from the operator or automation panel.
System includes a Snuf-Bak or No-Drip dispense valve with seals matched to each dispense fluid. The rugged dispense valve may be remote-mounted. Disposable No-Flush mixers mix and dispense epoxies, polyurethanes and silicones.

Series 303 Horizontal Laminar Flow Clean Bench provides a Class 100 or Class 10 clean air environment for laboratory work, testing, manufacturing, inspection or pharmaceutical operations. The cabinets are designed for quiet operation, with a typical sound level of approx. 65dbA. Sound levels vary depending on the size of the unit.
Has an open front work area for placement in front of equipment or as a stand-alone unit that is useful for vibration-sensitive work. HEPA filters provide horizontal laminar flow air that washes out particulates and prevents contamination of the clean work zone. Features clean edge construction that puts the hood in shear with the media edge of the HEPA filter. This reduces turbulence along the sides of the hood, improving the laminar flow and preventing contamination infiltration around the perimeter of the hood.
Feature all-metal construction with a Vinclad exterior for durability. Two white fluorescent lamps with an energy-efficient ballast illuminate the work area. A clear polycarbonate hood provides a controlled work area and assists in directional air flow. Uses a HEPA FLEX duct system to provide air flow from the blower to the HEPA filter. The duct system, along with the cabinet blower, provides a negative pressure area on the cabinet interior.
Options include a removable perforated HEPA filter protective grill, a safety glass hood, an extended hood (no built-in table) and ultraviolet germicidal lamps.
