AutoVision machine vision software enables a barcode reading suite consisting of four smart cameras that adopt the machine vision toolset for Auto ID+ applications. Offers full library of software capability reportedly on the smallest hardware design ever in smart camera design. Fully adaptable to any barcode reading or machine vision application; can choose single smart camera with ideal footprint, industrial rating, and connectivity. Can choose software interface with capabilities to compliment needs of an application, from basic barcode reading to advanced measurement, gauging, and inspection. New software features include tools for color ID, spot-checking against stored colors, and counting or checking presence of certain colored features, such as on packaging or test tube caps; circle measure tool; enhanced locate tool to find multiple features of a part at once and inspect the integrity of a part based on relative locations of features.

EO-G-001 water-based flux for selective soldering is halogen-free flux and meets all criteria under DIN EN 61190-1-1 and ISO 9454 for surface resistance. In tests, flux propagation area is less than that of alcohol-based fluxes tested, while rise-through and pad wetting were not adversely affected and soldering results were more than satisfactory. Cleanliness was as good or better than alcohol-based fluxes. Is classified OR/L0 under DIN EN 61190-1-1 or type 2.1.3.A under ISO 9454.

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.
