ACE inline fluxer and preheating unit is an intelligent, dual-purpose system said to reduce process time by concurrently applying flux to the specific components to be soldered, then preheating the board in preparation for soldering while the board previously fluxed is being soldered by any KISS inline selective soldering system. Applies a range of flux types with either an atomizing flux applicator for rapid application or a precision drop-jet applicator for no-clean processing. Reportedly handles low pH fluxes down to 2.0 as well as fluxes with solids content as high as 35%. Can be equipped with either an atomizing or drop-jet applicator, or alternatively it can be equipped with dual atomizing and drop-jet flux applicators for greater flexibility. Configurable with either convection or IR preheat to provide a controlled ramp without inducing thermal stress upon components while maintaining a uniform temperature gradient and stable topside board temperature. Preheating system is closed-loop controlled.

Mini Vario Wave selective soldering system combines a selective solder machine with a wave soldering process.
Smartzoom 5 automated digital microscope has an optical engine—consisting of a zoom, camera, and illumination—a stand with sample stage, objective lenses, the operating unit, and software.
FastFlow high-speed transport reportedly optimizes throughput and shortens cycle time.
Model DCD portable bench-mounted dispensing machine is for low volume mixing and dispensing of two-part materials supplied in dual cartridges. Includes a pneumatically actuated dual-cartridge piston dispenser; applies pressure to meter materials contained in a dual cartridge. A static mixer combines the two materials. Piston retraction control allows for loading and unloading of the cartridge. Available to suit 200ml and 400ml dual cartridges. Compact controller provides air logic functions and maintains control of air pressure to the dispenser. A pinch-valve provides drip-free dispensing of low-viscosity materials. Valve is fitted to exit tip of static mixer; operated by an air portal on the controller. Has a pneumatic foot pedal.
