Stackers lift, transport and position up to a reported 3,000 lbs. at a time. Come with manual or electric drive and feature battery-powered electric lift. Said to lift to heights of up to 80". Designed to handle any type of pallet or skid. Available in two configurations: fork-over, which reportedly works with any type of open-bottom pallet or skid, and straddle style, which accommodates any pallet or skid. Standard fork lengths are 45" for fork-over models and 42" for straddle units. Overall length is 63-66". Controls are located in the handle. Has locking hand brake.
The Weller WD1002 soldering station features an 85W, single-channel power unit with three programmable presets. Features 67 x 29 mm high-contrast LCD display that reportedly shows selected temperature and programmed temperatures for each preset button simultaneously. Programming range is said to be 150° to 850°F. Comes with an 80W pencil with silver heating element. Station includes four-position, adjustable stand with an antistatic finish.
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.
Polaris Jr. is said to allow the integration of single-process functions such as final-assembly dispensing, screwdriving, and pick-and-place. Features a standardized tool interface that comes in cell sizes from 500 mm to 2.5 m and into which more than 20 functional modules can be plugged.
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.
