Dualbond LT2216 dual-curing adhesive, for electronic and optoelectronic automotive and consumer applications, reaches full strength within 90 minutes at 60°C after prefixation by light.

ML-5120A 120W direct diode laser (DDL) welder for soldering and plastic welding has low power consumption and high efficiency. Features localized heating for small parts welding and manufacturing applications with space limitations. Comes with temperature control function, which requires a separate dedicated unit to control laser output power. Directly applies light emitted from laser diodes (LDs) for thermal processing– without passing through a lasing medium, such as Ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber or Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet). Generates an invisible IR wavelength of 915nm. Small spot diameter of 0.2 millimeters enables fine soldering in small areas as well as high-density, small-pitch areas. Equipped with power monitor as standard equipment.

MicroHAWK ID-30 and ID-40 barcode readers now include optional Diffuser and Polarizer optical filter accessories. Selected optical filter blocks unwanted light. Diffuser filter softens and flattens background light around the barcode and minimizes noise and reflections. Is useful when reader needs to be mounted perpendicular to the part. Polarizer filter is reportedly ideal for managing reflections from other highly-reflective, transparent or lucid materials such as cellophane or glass test tubes. Eliminates hot spots caused by reflections by allowing one linear light polarization to be used for outgoing scanning beam.
