SK series electrostatic sensors come in handheld and inline models. SK-H050 handheld version features large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display for checking static levels on the spot. Built-in laser aim and a 180-degree rotating head for fast and easy measurement even in narrow spaces. Optional charge-plate attachment measures ionizer’s speed and ion balance in order to monitor performance while internally storing or outputting data to a PC if necessary.

SK-050 inline static sensor integrates into any existing machine. Measurements can be displayed on integrated amplifier or output through various means including RS-232, EtherNet/IP and analog voltage/current, while connectable amplifiers reduce wiring and programming. Whether confirming an applied charge (up to 50kV) or verifying that charge has been eliminated, also features simple setting of HI/LO tolerances for discrete judgment outputs.

Smart Two Bay InoAuto storage system stores more than 1,100 7" SMT reels. Is equipped with sensors and LED indicator lights. InoView Locator software responds as if reels have RFID. Operator barcode scans a reel into an empty single package single location slot. Reports position of part to computer automatically and then to a server via a WiFi connection. Quickly enters part number or pick list; LED lights indicate each part location within the cart. As the user picks the parts, it identifies the part number on a tablet or screen. Is mobile, ESD compliant, 5-1/2 ft. tall, and has a 5-½ sq. ft. print.

cmNavigo 4.0 MES software has embedded finite  scheduling. Scheduling models plant floor resources and defines the role of each in fulfilling orders in a near-term time frame. Schedules can be weighted around multiple production criteria and key performance indicators, such as minimizing delivery delays, maximizing machine loads, and reducing cycle times. Is built on Microsoft application development layers; integrates with more than 30 extensible MES applications. These provide visibility and traceability, operational efficiency, quality management, factory integration, operations intelligence, and factory management.  Can configure and extend models and define workflows without programming. Avoids duplication of master data, allows real-time updates across different areas of the plant floor, and eliminates the need to maintain separate interfaces. Features include lot-based sampling; document management; warehouse management; durables tracking, and a shift logbook.
