Universal Cover Tape reportedly provides optimal performance regardless of width, carrier material and equipment. The UCT peel features permit removal of the middle portion above component pockets, while adhesive edges remain adhered to the carrier. Said to simplify sealing parameters associated with current heat-activated and pressure-sensitive adhesive cover tapes, in addition to increasing productivity, reducing sealing complaints and eliminating adhesive contamination.

Autograph AG-X Series testers measure loads from 100N to 100kN using a single load cell and are reportedly accurate within ±0.5% with a 1/1000 load cell. Have portable USB memory and Trapezium X software. After testing, USB memory can be used with a PC to analyze data and create reports. Developed using Microsoft.net; allows users to combine graphed results from separate tests, create histograms and X-barR charts, and access data from any Web-based environment. Use large-capacity load cells and testing jigs. Features include 32-bit, 144-mHz MPU, FPGA-controlled synchronized sampling and motor control, 5 kHz sample, 1M pulse per sec. resolution, seven analog input channels, three digital input channels, and precision positioning for all speeds. Come equipped with multiple channel data acquisition, nine language interfaces, resistance values acquisition, and scheduling functions.

DV509-UV-LF is a diaphragm action valve designed for UV resins. The wetted chamber is compatible for low to medium viscosity UV materials. Is high cycling, rated at 200 cycles/min. Has lightweight, compact design; suitable for automated systems. Diaphragm seal is attached to a solenoid that opens when receiving an air signal from a valve controller. It flexes to permit fluid to exit for the duration that the seal is opened. A return spring snaps the diaphragm shut after the air signal is removed.
