DX dispenser includes a mobile handheld dispenser with a refill station. Reportedly dispenses two component reactive resins at 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 ratios. Multiple handheld dispensers can be quickly refilled with one DXR refill station. The refill station uses two transfer pumps that feed from 5-gal. bulk containers, each equipped with follower plates.

The AST-700 bottom-side, screw-fastening work cell is designed to offer the ability to selectively fasten components using screws from the bottom side after odd-form placement. Uses a bowl-style system with blow feeder to automatically present and drive screws into the desired locations. Said to offer fully programmable x, y and z motion with in-line conveyor, positive PCB stop location/clamping, and programmable fastening locations. Includes a second chance feature with screw detection and purge function to prevent false error.
