The B3 benchtop automated optical inspection system for assembled PCBs reportedly improves inspection speed by up to three times. Fusion lighting and advanced image processing technology said to provide highest defect coverage of any benchtop system. Said to take less than 30 minutes to create a complete inspection program, including solder joints. Image processing technology integrates several techniques, including color, normalized correlation and rule-based algorithms.
 

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.
