The BluePrint-PCB Viewer application is available as a free Web download. Reportedly allows users to create a comprehensive PCB release package. Supports three viewers, including a standard viewer; one that supports html and can be viewed using an Active X component, and the Pack and Release Viewer, which is said to allow users to control the amount of time a document release package may be viewed by a third party. All versions support hyperlinking functions that link details to notes and callouts as well as URLs, e-mail addresses, audio, video and other electronic files. Reportedly can view and query the native CAD data. Contains search function.

The Static Control Anti-Fatigue 9900 series mats are said to enable workers to stand comfortably for long periods, while minimizing fatigue and reducing static electricity. The mats, 0.60" (1.52 cm) thick with a beveled edge made of solid molded rubber, consist of a matrix of hollow cylinders that function like springs when compressed. Said to get softer as compressed. Weigh 2 lbs. per sq. ft. and come in three sizes: a standard 3 x 5ft. (0.9 x 1.5 m); an octagonal 22" diameter (55.9 cm), and in 3ft.-wide runners that can be customized. Reportedly have a resistance in surface to ground snap of <1 x 10 (to the 6th power) ohms and surface to ground resistance of <2 x 10 (to the 6th power) ohms when connected through a 3M-brand ground cord 3040. Includes three-year warranty.

The JOT Automation line features a bare board unstacker, segmented conveyor, and high-speed router. The J210-50 bare board unstacker automatically feeds boards onto a production line. Has a pass-through length of 19.7" (500 mm). The track height is adjustable from 29.5–39.4" (750-1000 mm).  The J204-50 segmented conveyor transports and buffers PCBs between process machines using multiple-drive technology. Comes with line width adjustment and mechanical connection to other equipment. Reportedly ensures no contact occurs between boards during transfer. The J215-33 single magazine handler is said to be ideal for high-mix, low-volume production. Features a feed-out conveyor for unloading. Offers a no-program setup. Track height is adjustable between 35.4 – 37.4" (900 and 950 mm).  The J501-44 high-speed router is a compact inline router said to be suited for high-volume production of small panels. Makes use of grippers to hold the PCB in place for underside milling to ensure short-cycle duration. Cutting speed is reportedly up to 60 mm/s with a reported cutting accuracy of 0.15 mm. The J501-41 standalone mini-router for topside routing reportedly offers a cutting speed of up to 60 mm/s with accuracy of 0.2 mm within a compact footprint.
