4040 vapor phase soldering system installs in virtually any workspace, without need for complex ductwork and external venting. Efficient heat transfer and gentle conditions are said to generate minimal exhaust that is easily managed by any low-cost, self-contained, fume extraction system. Power rating of less than 3kW (75 to 80% less than small convection ovens). Multi-chamber design and automatic board handling system. Illuminated processing chamber includes 14" viewing window and is completely isolated during soldering. Fluid recovery system collects and filters condensate during cooldown. Cycle times range from 6 to 9 min. or less. Extra-large (18" x 16") work holder for batch soldering of multiple boards. Soldering programs can be created automatically in seconds, without profiling. Thermocouple connector accessory monitors actual board temperature throughout soldering cycle, for fine-tuning soldering programs can be fine-tuned for increased efficiency and energy savings. Thermal profile data can be recorded, saved and exported through built-in SD card slot, for SPC traceability.

Dual-Simultaneous Programmable Pitch is for Select Coat SL-940 conformal coating. Two of the same conformal coating applicators are installed and operate simultaneously, coating two parts at the same time. Automatically repositions applicators to match programmed pitch. Reportedly reduces conformal coating process time by 50%. The pitch is programmed and will adjust automatically. Easy Coat software lets user program when to use one or both applicators.

NPM-VF is a dual-gantry, multi-head, odd-form placement and insertion machine. Achieves 4,500cph throughput within narrow footprint of a compact SMT mounter. Standard vacuum nozzle handles a gamut of packages and three additional process heads available for components up to 130x35mm and 60mm tall, requiring 100N force (nearly 22.5 lbf). Has a body chuck for gripping large odd-form devices without a pick surface (e.g., power transformers), lead chuck for gripping through-hole devices (e.g., electrolytic capacitors), and swing nozzle for inserting through-hole devices oriented in packaging other than insertion orientation. Tenders myriad feeder types from bowl feeders to stackable stick, through-hole, vacuum-formed/JEDEC trays, and tape feeders up to 104mm. Active clinch system secures various through-hole lead diameters at multiple rotations. When not required, clinch doubles as localized board support for snap-in/press-fit components.
