SCS Precisioncoat RTV coater and dispenser applies room temperature vulcanization materials and is controlled by proprietary software on a Windows XP operating system. Applies silicone adhesives and sealants. Offers bead control and accurate application. Standard configuration applies coatings on a three-axes system, and fourth and fifth axes can be added for tilt angles up to 45° or 360° rotation functionality.

DataMan 700 handheld ID readers include DataMan 750, said to be ESD-safe and ideal for reading 1D and 2D codes; uses IDMax decoding software to handle code degradations that result from differences in material types and surfaces. DataMan 710 features IDQuick decoding software for reading 1D and 2D codes, as well as low-contrast codes on uniform backgrounds. Reportedly provides exceptional performance on labels and other well-marked codes. Both models use an advanced image formation system.

Also, the DataMan 100S fixed-mount ID reader reads codes on slow-moving parts or where index motion is used.

Version 7.0 manufacturing operations system software builds on the MOS concept of joining process planning and launch technology with factory execution. Provides “actionable” real-time dashboards and analytics within one system and on a single data model. An “activity-centric,” Web-browser-based interface provides a single access point, and delivers shop floor materials verification, paperless documentation, product tracking, interactive traceability, quality and repair, defect visualization, test and diagnostics, pack-out control, real-time monitoring, SPC and reporting. Offers an online environment for exploring forward and reverse traceability.

iMonitor 2.0 is for actionable data display, enabling users to design real-time performance, quality, materials, and production dashboards.

SFX-6308 I/O module, part of the Scanflex JTAG/boundary scan hardware platform, features eight independent analog I/O channels with additional digital resources and supports application-specific in-system reconfiguration by means of VarioCORE. Reportedly provides four output channels with extended current yield of up to 200mA at ± 10V and four bipolar input channels with a range of ± 10V. All channels have a 12 bit resolution and can be disconnected from the UUT via relays. Is supported in System Cascon from version 4.x on.

The XSD series of 1% RH dry cabinets is designed to meet J-STD-033 for handling moisture-sensitive devices. Is said to deliver precision measurement, 24/7 data logging and ergonomic touch-screen operator interface. SDR series combines features of XSD in a configuration that accepts full feeder trolleys from all pick-and-place manufacturers. Both deploy self-regenerating desiccant.

The PCT-1000 benchtop programmable preheater is said to deliver more heat to difficult boards, while maintaining high levels of thermal control and lower operating temperatures. Is reportedly ideal for Pb-free, multilayer boards and large ground planes. Delivers forced convection heat that can be controlled with four time and temperature zones, and an additional cooling zone. Provides thermal boost for boards that demand heat because of large ground planes, multiple layers or Pb-free solders. Features “external” thermocouple input. Design creates a convection vortex. Operates in manual or automatic mode. Up to 50 thermal profiles can be stored.

The BH-1000 optional board holder consists of two independent post-rail assemblies that can be positioned as close as 12 mm. Each post-rail assembly is 300 mm long and has a 30 mm height adjustment.
