Chemask HT is a fast curing, peelable temporary spot mask formulated for long-term heat protection at elevated temperatures. May be used to protect pins, posts, contacts and edge connections in the solder reflow oven or during conformal coating processes. Chemask Aqua solder masking agent is a high-temp. temporary spot mask that protects component-free areas from molten solder during wave soldering. Is water-soluble, designed to be removed with open and closed loop aqueous cleaning systems, low foaming, and has no effect on deionized water system resin beds.

Macaos Enterprise v. 4.0 PCB management, panelization, stencil creation and online ordering software includes assembly data manager for adding or modifying pick-and-place data, bill of materials data, and graphical remarks for PCB. Expands support for sending an RFQ to EMS providers. Enhanced stencil creation module offers greater flexibility in the placement of data within the stencil frame, additional options for splitting a large opening into smaller openings or
changing the shape of an opening, and improved support for stencil creation scripts. Additional annotations have been added to panel drawings to show X and Y step distance and size and shape of all fiducials and bad marks. Now supports boards with up to 30 copper layers, Gerber files in the X2 format, and improved support for ODB++ files.

Nu/Clean 800 X2L inline cleaner has a dual tank system. Runs an independent chemical wash with chemistry of choice, an independent DI water wash, or a full chemical wash with a full DI water wash. Both tanks heated independently. Parameters controlled via touch-screen software. Dedicated, recirculating isolation rinse prevents cross contamination from chemistry wash tank to water-only wash tank. Every liquid is either recirculated or sent to an evaporator via closed-loop sump system for zero discharge disposal. Chemical wash tank drains to sump tank and then to evaporator, which separates water from residues. Water-only wash tank is recirculated through a DI water system to remove contaminants and returned to water-only wash tank. Isolation rinse is closed loop with dedicated DI System. Final rinse tank cascades into rinse tank. Water from rinse tank is sent to a second DI system to be cleaned and returned to final rinse.

SHP-K & SHP-KM soldering iron handpiece can be used in OKI/Metcal soldering systems, designated PS-800, PS-900, MFR-PS1100, and MFR-PS2200. SHP-K is compatible with connector on PS-800/900 systems; SHP-KM is compatible with connector on MFR-PS1100/PS2200 systems. Permit use of EasyBraid EK series cartridges that do not need heating elements necessary with OKI/Metcal design.
