Mydata Agilis Feeder Repair Set converts any Agilis feeder to any of the four sizes to reduce overall feeder count and maximize production capabilities. Provides one kit for each of the sizes (3.7, 4.0, 4.7, and 5.4) for a single feeder ID. Also includes precision machined aluminum side cover plate with cover tape plow preinstalled; new spring; matching screws for re-assembly. All-aluminum construction provides greater strength and durability. Repairs feeders with broken finger tabs. All components are precision-machined replacements for the original parts. Can be installed onsite.

AXP shadow moiré system now comes with optional Convection Reflow Emulation Module (CRE6) that allows mirroring of the thermal environment of a reflow oven while conducting warpage metrology. Features increased heating/cooling rates and improved temperature uniformity. Measures warpage on substrates up to 70mm (diameter) with sub-micron z-resolution in a convection reflow environment. Heating rates of up to 5⁰C/sec. allow measurements from 25⁰ to 275⁰C with convective heating and tightly controlled thermal uniformity.

Apreo scanning electron microscope has a proprietary compound final lens design said to be capable of resolution down to 1.0nm at 1kV without the need for beam deceleration. Provides performance on nearly any sample, even if tilted or topographic. 

Offers backscatter detection at low beam currents, at any tilt angle, on sensitive samples and at TV-rate imaging, for strong contrast of materials. Detector segments can be individually addressed to optimize for angular contrast or for signal intensity and extract information that matters most. Low-vacuum capability with a chamber pressure of up to 500 Pa. Has ports for up to three energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) detectors, coplanar EDS and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), analytics-compatible low-vacuum, and beam currents up to 400nA. Software provides user guidance and “point-and-click” navigation using an in-chamber camera. Load multiple samples quickly and easily without tools.

The redesigned RD2 Batch Vapor Phase Reflow System offers enhanced profiling capabilities with a convected preheat zone and three vapor preheat settings. Energy use reportedly has been reduced by 30% and the fluid fill requirement has realized a 40% reduction over the previous model. Features onboard working fluid filtration, as well as an auxiliary holding tank. Three-level password protection and a full graphics touch screen OIT have been integrated. Provides consistent, uniform and reliable heat transfer. Has a working envelope of 18" x 15" x 2.5"; features a palletized conveyor system that keeps the product horizontal throughout the process. Accommodates medium volume multi-shift production and medium to large sized products.
