Manual Snuf-Bak Horizontal Dispense Valve is designed for precision shot dispensing of one-component materials horizontally onto an exterior surface or into a product interior. Includes a standard valve in a hanging bracket assembly and a manually operated electric trigger. Volume dispensed is determined by a precision shot-meter, timer control panel or trigger-on time. Reportedly ideal for volume control and fast shutoff of viscous materials such as silicones, polyurethanes, greases and various thixotropic and cohesive adhesives and sealants. The 1/4" NPT outlet port accepts standard or custom plastic or metal dispense nozzle. Hanging bracket permits mounting from an overhead tool balance.

Vectra liquid crystal polymer S135 reportedly has a distortion temperature under load (DTUL) of 335°C (635°F), improved weld-line strength, and a reduced viscosity that allows it to fill walls as thin as 0.2 mm (0.008"). Can be molded at tool temperatures below 93°C (200°F) and has low outgassing levels.  
 

Agilent Process Control Software is a defect-prevention package and has statistical process control and charting package capabilities. Can be used with the Medalist SJ50 AOI and Medalist SP50 solder paste inspection system for paste, pre- and post-reflow trends and defect analysis. Highlights include user-defined charting and alarming, historical and live-data analysis, production summary reports, and worst-feature analysis. Historical and live images are embedded into the charts.
