VHX-5000 digital microscope instantly captures any area in complete focus, without the user adjusting focus. Provides high-resolution, large depth-of-field imaging and integrated 2D/3D measurement, without specialized training. Comes with CMOS camera capable of imaging at 50 frames per second. Automatically scans throughout the focal range and generates an image in focus. Enhances contrast and reduces over/under saturated areas on a target. Software describes implementation of each function of the VHX. Magnification range 0.1x - 5000x. Supports bright and dark field, transmitted, polarized, and differential interference observation.

MY600 jet printer has 50% higher throughput, reportedly reaching speeds of 1.1 million dots per hour. Handles flexible substrates, board cavities, package-on-package, QFNs and new components with small process windows. Controls dot volume, diameter and deposit repeatability. Adjusts solder paste volume and shape for each individual pad on the printed circuit board. Is entirely software-based, and can be programmed stand-alone or connected to certain pick-and-place machines.

RS-600 six zone air and nitrogen reflow ovens offer the same features as the larger 8- and 10-zone ovens, such as a top and bottom Independent air velocity controlling system and a four-way air recycling system in each zone. The six zone oven has a total heated length similar to ovens that are 7-, 8-, and 9-zones. KIC AFP (auto-focus power) is now a standard feature on reflow ovens.
