i-CON Pico and i-CON Nano soldering stations have a footprint of 145mm x 80mm. i-CON Pico is intended for hobbyists; i-CON Nano reportedly meets all criteria for ESD protection and is intended for industrial use. Both stations can be configured using a microSD card. 80W soldering stations use ultra-light i-Tool soldering iron; available with a range of soldering tips. i-CON 1 and i-CON 2 are professional industrial soldering stations powering 150W i-Tool. Both stations are operated using a text display and i-Op control knob. Other soldering and de-soldering tools can be connected to i-CON 2. Are available with optional interface for an IR preheating plate or a solder fume extraction unit. i CON Vario 2 and i-CON Vario 4 are multichannel soldering and de-soldering stations equipped with i-Tool Air S, a 200W hot air soldering iron. One additional tool is connectable to Vario 2; three soldering and de-soldering tools can be operated in addition on Vario 4, which is reportedly ideal for soldering tasks in development, production, rework and maintenance. Both stations are equipped with standard control interfaces to an IR preheating station and a solder fume extraction unit.

No. 887 is a gas-fired 1000°F cabinet oven used for curing metal coatings onto parts. Workspace dimensions measure 38” x 38” x 38”. 175,000 BTU/HR installed in a modulating natural gas burner provide heat, while a 2,000 CFM, 2-HP stainless steel recirculating blower furnishes a horizontal airflow across the workload. Features an aluminized steel exterior, Type 304, 2B finish stainless steel interior, plus inner and outer door gaskets that seal against the door plug and front face of the oven. Has 8” thick insulated oven walls, consisting of 2” of 1900°F block and 6” of 10 lb/cf density rockwool insulation. Safety equipment is onboard as required by IRI, FM and NFPA Standard 86 for gas-heated equipment, including a 325 CFM, 1/3-HP powered forced exhauster. Digital indicating temperature controller is provided.

Explorer real-time monitoring uses DataMan barcode reader. Incorporates scalable architecture, a web-based performance statistics interface, and novel vision technology. Trends read rates, evaluates images from packages that were not read and classifies those images. Connects to a network of DataMan readers and regularly pulls read rate information and images from packages. When a process error results in a package with an unread barcode, images are sent; automatically evaluates and categorizes each image and stores them in a database.
