The solder paste recycling unit enables approximately 90% of waste solder paste to recover as solder bar. Reduces CO2 emissions. Waste materials are mainly flux effluent, filter and waste cloth. Waste material is less than 1/10 the volume. Required time to recycle is approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Enables selection of manual or automatic mode using touchscreen panel. Max solder capacity per cycle is approx. 5.5 lbs.

3D-Locate vision software delivers real-time 3D position information that enables automation equipment to work with a variety of parts, stacked or tilted items. Can improve vision performance for applications such as logistics, robot-guided de-palletizing and precision assembly. Can be used in combination with Cognex code reading, gauging, and inspection tools. Uses multiple sets of 2D features found by PatMax to determine an object’s precise 3D orientation. Tolerates non-uniform lighting. Can use input from SearchMax and PatFlex to help determine part orientation. Can be used in single camera applications; robot-mounted single or stereo camera guidance systems; work cells with multiple fixed-mount cameras, and dimensioning, sorting and picking applications on conveyor lines.
