Automated drop-jet fluxing head is available on all KISS selective soldering machines. Reportedly provides flux with no overspray. Handles low pH fluxes down to 2.0, as well as fluxes with solids content as high as 35%. Is compatible with alcohol-based fluxes, water-soluble fluxes and rosin-based fluxes. Is fully maintainable. Internal jetting cartridge can be removed for cleaning. Is available with a standard 130 µm orifice diameter; other custom orifices are available. Standard orifice produces an adjustable 2-4mm flux drop size ideal for microscopic deposition for small selective soldering sites without flux residues.

UV50 and UV500 UV curing conformal coatings were developed for the automotive sector. UV50 is compatible with high-speed airless application systems. Reportedly displays improved thermal shock performance; has improved compatibility with applications produced in no-clean processes or where low surface energy substrates are an issue. UV500 has ability to operate at higher temperatures; provides improved thermal shock performance. High flexibility and low modulus attributes deliver characteristics typically associated with silicone-based products. Reportedly protects against long-term exposure to high moisture environments. Can be removed for rework and repair.
