EMI/RF shields with snap-on, snap-off covers permit easy access to components within the shields. Are designed to protect components from radio frequency/electromagnetic interference and environmental hazards, and to provide electrical grounding. Standard forming tools come in any size and shape. Shielding options include one-piece or two-piece construction; standard base materials, including brass, tin, SnPb, nickel, copper, and cold-rolled steel, all of which can be provided with solderable plating, and NiAg base material.

Fischerscope XDAL and XDLM x-ray spectrometers are available. XDLM spectrometers with micro-focus tube and proportional counter tube are suited for the inspection of parts where small structures are measured. Typical applications are measurements on PC boards, plug contacts and electronic components. Are equipped with four exchangeable apertures and a programmable XY(Z) measuring stage. Are for testing mass-produced parts.

XDAL spectrometers with silicon PIN detectors provide reliable analysis results and coating thickness readings. Have a precise XY(Z) measuring stage. Are for automated sample measurements.

Cycle Stop Controller is an Ethernet-enabled device that electrically integrates with the cycle stop circuit of any machine type. When used with a software module such as line setup control, route control and MSD control, the application forces the machine to stop processing when a process validation error occurs. Eliminates the risk of building defective product due to invalid machine setup or trying to perform an operation out of sequence. Can be integrated with any third-party software application with a communication protocol using TCP/IP socket connection.
