The iFlux is a magnetically controlled, air-driven spray fluxer. Its clean design makes it easy to use and maintain. Can handle most fluxes, including the new fluxes optimized for lead-free soldering.
Triple layer design features an air-driven, high precision Titanium nozzle with adjustable cone. The motion of the nozzle spray angle and the volume of flux are computer controlled with a password-protected touchpad. The nozzle is 30 mm from the board surface.
The air driven nozzle reportedly sprays a uniform, well defined flux deposit with excellent wicking. Has the velocity and volume control necessary to penetrate through-hole assemblies. Operates within tight parameters, leaving little overspray. Stores all the parameters for each job in its computerized control box so the operator can easily call up the correct settings for each production run
Can fit internally into most soldering machines with the control box either incorporated into the
existing machine or mounted externally. Or the entire spray fluxer and control box can be external.

Fluid Dispenser Pen increases precision in fluid dispensing and eliminates the mess associated with dispensing bottles. The chisel point, spring-loaded tip allows users to determine the amount of liquid to be dispensed, thus reducing waste and chemical exposure.
While primarily used for flux dispensing, can also be used to dispense solvents, lubricants, masking, RMA chemistries, adhesives and water-based liquids. Prevents evaporation of material and conforms to current regulations for controlling substances capable of evaporation hazard. A dispensing valve prevents flooding and spattering, and releases liquid in controlled amounts to the nib.
The two parts (cap and reservoir) are easily assembled. The reservoir should be filled with material to within 19 mm (0.75”) of the top; this air chamber allows for the valve cap to be pressed securely in position. Priming is achieved by depressing the nib while the pen is vertical.
Can be used for rework and touch up soldering, as well asdistribution of solvents, lubricants, masking, RMA chemistries, adhesives and water-based liquids.
Fluid Dispenser with Brush Tip consists of a polypropylene cartridge with a fine nylon brush tip, and has a capacity of 7 cc. The fine brush tip allows users to reach small areas with increased accuracy. The transparent cartridge allows the user to view the level of remaining material, and as applying light pressure to either side of the barrel dispenses the fluid, the user has complete control over the amount of fluid being dispensed.

Non-Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTC) provides efficient thermal coupling of electrical and electronic components. Provides non-creep characteristics and thermal conductivity even at high temperatures: 0.9 W/m.K. Has a broad operating temperature range (-50º to +130º) and offers low toxicity. HTC Plus (HTCP) provides even higher thermal conductivity at 2.8 W/m.K with superior heat transfer characteristics.
Silicone Heat Transfer Compound (HTSP) is a thermally conductive paste for special applications where thermal management is critical. Operates from -50º to +200º, is a metal oxide filled silicone oil providing thermal conductivity at 3.0W/m.K.
The flame retardant ER 2074 epoxy resin exhibits thermal conductivity and is free of abrasive fillers such as alumina. Ensures less wear on mix and dispense and other processing equipment. Shows low viscosity when mixed and the exotherm temperature rise on curing is low.
Aquacoat Plus eliminates the need for extraction and other precautions normally required for the application of conventional solvent-based conformal coatings. The aqueous conformal coating is non-flammable, contains low levels of VOCs and no isocyanates, so it can be soldered through without fear of highly toxic gases being produced. Is phenol-free, so is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate. Based on polymeric materials, offers adhesion on a variety of substrates and a wide operating temperature range. Available in two formulations: WBP is the standard product and WBPS (Sprayable) is for use in selective film coating equipment. Is DEF-STAN, MIL and IPC-CC-830 and RoHS compliant.
Flexible Lead-Free Conformal Coating (LFCC) is transparent and fast drying. Designed to protect electronic circuitry processed with lead-free soldering products, it provides adhesion to lead-free flux and fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection. Can be soldered through without highly toxic gases being produced and is non-corrosive to cadmium and zinc plate.

Sonoscan was granted US Patent #6,895,820 covering the Virtual Rescanning Module (VRM).
The VRM technique permits engineers to acquire and save acoustic echo data from the entire volume of a part such as an integrated circuit package. The saved digital file can later be rescanned to make acoustic images as though the file were the physical IC package.
VRM is widely used to preserve data about parts before they go into production or into testing. After a part has been altered by heat, testing or other factors, it is no longer too late to examine the part in its original condition.
In advanced flip-chip production, VRM is used with the patented Sonoscan method for Frequency Domain Imaging (FDI) to perform high-resolution non-destructive analysis of critical flip-chip interfaces.

K4000 PCB singulator depanelizes skip routed PCB panels up to 24" long. Simply place the bottom scoreline of the PCB onto the linear blade and step on a guarded foot switch to bring the circular blade across the top scoreline for clean separation of the PCB panels. Right and left blade guards assure operator safety. The front and back support and take up table are height adjustable.
Available with optional light beam safety curtain across the front of the blades for additional operator safety, and a conveyor belt to bring singulated PCBs to the side for easy removal. An infrared sensor on the end of the conveyor will stop the belt for PCBs with components on them. Scrap pieces will pass underneath the sensor beam into a discard bin.
Tooling to help the operator align panels is also available.
R100 is a high-speed, tabletop PCB router with built-in dust extraction channels. Can be used to finish singulating tab-routed PCB panels by manual operation. Two guide pins, one in back of the router bit and one in front of the router bit assure that the board will move past the router bit along the line of the routing channel, for clean, straight separation of the panel. The front guide pin can be brought in and out from the tooling bit to match the tab size on the PCB. Rotating the guide pin positioning collet will let the operator match the curvature of the cutting path to that of a round PCB panel.
Can be used as back up for high-volume routing or punch systems. In-house dust extraction vacuum can be connected to the tool, or a dust extraction vacuum is available separately.
