EMARS software supports China RoHS environmental compliance regulation. The module is designed to help companies comply with Phase One of the China RoHS regulation and prepare for Phase Two. Is said to enable users to generate an accurate declaration chart in the "x-and-o" format. Reportedly can generate a completed chart that accurately reflects a product's composition in minutes. No manual loading of product bills of material is required. Can perform rollups of complex, multi-level product BoMs into a single "x-and-o" chart; configure chart rows to represent major subassemblies of the product and individual components; drill down analysis on any "x-and-o" chart; determine what supplier part or material is contributing to a compliance failure and why; worst-case analysis on all multisourced component permutations of a product; best-case analysis to identify scenarios that meet shipment goals, and maintains the latest substance lists and thresholds associated with the China RoHS law. 
 

Model 2500-DA is for two-part viscose compounds containing abrasive filler. Is a positive displacement machine capable of reducing wear because of its double-acting design and abrasion-resistant metering cylinders and seals. The double-acting inline design reportedly reduces stress caused by high viscosity fluids and delivers on-demand dispensing without interruption for reloading the metering cylinders. The 2500-DA is said to double the life expectancy of seals by reducing the recharge cycles necessary during dispensing. Uses 4-way flow directional valves for maintaining accurate flow ratios.
 

The OptiCon SmartLine AOI system is a desktop system for small series to be applied as offline test or repair station. Is equipped with a camera-based imaging unit featuring custom telecentric lens and a flexible illumination concept of different colors and directions. Can also serve as a programming station. PC is completely integrated in the main chassis; only monitor and keyboard need be connected. Has a PCB inspection area of 400mm x 300mm.
