VW-6000 Series motion analysis microscope has high-speed (up to 24,000 fps) magnified video capture capabilities, for filming failures in moving targets. Is space saving and portable. Comes with a built-in light source and LCD monitor to ease setup and permit light coverage flexibility and observation at any angle. Supports both color and monochrome cameras making it ideal for any application. The advanced interface simplifies the setup procedure, making the unit ideal for novice users. High-speed recording is automatically played back slowly, allowing real-time adjustments during setup. Time Advance function permits video recording at fixed intervals for targets that move continuously. Comparison of multiple videos recorded over the course of a few days will help to easily identify changes from production start to finish. Recorded footage can be edited and analyzed directly on the controller. Automatically tracks moving objects in recorded footage to quantify speed, acceleration, distance, angle, and other measurements. Can be used with certain high resolution digital microscope lenses, for greater magnification.

Master Bond MB514 polypropylene adhesive etches at bonding challenges presented by non-polar and low-energy polyolefin surfaces. The polyolefin-based hot melt is said to be suited for use on untreated surfaces of polyethylene, polypropylene and combinations. Excellent bond performance is said to be retained over a temperature range of -20°F to 190°F. Is VOC-free; is comprised of 100% solids and contains no solvents. Does not require clamps or post cure during assembly. Is reportedly ideal for high-speed assembly operations.
