Milliken & Company, a vertical manufacturer of cleanroom laundered wipers and mops, introduces cleanroom wipers with particle attraction technology. This technology captures and retains fibrous and particulate contamination, up to 35 times greater than a normal wiper. Has the potential to reduce contamination in the manufacturing area leaving a cleaner workplace and reducting the potential for re-contamination attributed to the wiper.
Offered in a variety of wiper types and sizes.

Valor’s TraceXpert solution now offers real-time performance monitoring and process verification for all machine brands and machine generations from Fuji, Panasonic, Siemens and Universal. Following the availability of these latest generation interfaces, TraceXpert provides machine vendor neutrality for line-monitoring, exact traceability, real-time materials management and optimized assembly line performance.
According to Henning Maerkedahl, executive VP at the development centre for TraceXpert, traceability is now the key driver in over 60% of new project implementations, and is one of the main reasons for introducing floor-level MES systems into a manufacturing environment.
Maerkedahl also noted, “Many customers either have SMT lines from multiple vendors or a mix of different machine generations across lines. TraceXpert is the only monitoring, verification and traceability solution that delivers proven integration for all machine vendor brands and their generations. This allows electronics manufacturers to achieve faster set-up time and reduce costly reworks; deliver higher quality and manufacturing yield - with one factory-wide solution. The multi-function, real-time control interfaces developed by Valor for the four leading machine vendors in the market are in addition to Valor’s general line-monitoring solution that covers all types of machines from all machine vendors.”

MicroMark precision spray marking system produces neat, consistent spots and stripes from 5 to 30 mm wide without overspray or clogging. Designed for reliability and low maintenance, it reportedly reduces downtime on automated and semi automated production lines.
Applications include color-coding to differentiate between similar components, indicating pass/fail status and showing whether a specific process has been performed.
Uses a precision spray valve and Low Volume Low Pressure (LVLP) air to make uniform spots and stripes without mist or overspray. The system’s high transfer efficiency and quick cutoff improve part appearance and keep work areas clean. A short microburst of air after each shot keeps the nozzle from clogging and reduces maintenance.
The system includes a microprocessor-based controller that simplifies system setup and operation. The controller can be easily interfaced with a PLC if desired. Ink or paint is supplied from a fluid tank with a constant-bleed air regulator that prevents fluctuations in fluid pressure.
