TidyPen 60-second sticky stuff remover has an improved formulation for better cleaning effectiveness on almost anything sticky: glues, tapes, labels, most fluxes, some inks and many conformal coatings. Is said to be safe on plastics and gaskets as well as other materials of construction found on PCBs. VOC, GHS and REACH compliant. Dispenses cleaning fluid more quickly. Comes in two sizes: vending-machine sized and a larger box containing five tools.

20-2121 polyurethane plant-based potting, casting and encapsulating compound for electronic applications with low toxicity requirements. Is made from natural oil polyol instead of fossil fuel feedstocks. Meets FDA food contact requirements and contains no TDI, MbOCA or Mercury. Is said to offer little shrinkage or exotherm, alleviation of mechanical and thermal stresses on sensitive electrical components, limited stress on electronics with good elastomeric properties. Tensile strength of 2,000 psi and a tear strength of 119 PLI. It has a mixed viscosity of 2,000 cps at 25°C and a gel time of 20 minutes at 60°C.

MR Series placement machines include 4th generation linear motors, electronic eX feeders, and machine and NPI software. Feeder capacity is 120 slots; part capacity is 25mm. Smart eX feeders reportedly index six times faster than previous design. Series includes four models: two single gantry, single conveyor, and two dual gantry dual conveyor models. Include two versions of heads on the single or dual gantry drive system. Higher-speed machines have six module-type heads per gantry; flexible versions have four precision heads per gantry. ZHMD sensor electronically measures Z height of stick and tray parts.

DeltaProbe is an add-on technology for periodic profile capture. Offers process control without the need for test boards. Uses Smartlink interface; can hold product and process recipe information. Measurement sensors capture process records without a test card or wires. Is fitted to an adjustable frame; can be changed to the width of the printed circuit board being measured. Matched sensors show performance problems across the width of the oven heater. There are independent limit settings per oven zone. Can be used once a temperature profile is captured from a real test PCB.
