PVA710 dispenses optical bonding adhesives and assembles optical devices in atmosphere without bubbles. For use with optically clear acrylics or silicones. Provides dam and seal dispensing and curing, fill dispensing and cover placement. Applications include bonding touchscreen to LCD, cover glass to LCD, etc. Employs a gantry system featuring precision ball screw slides driven by brushless DC servo motors. Every axis of motion features optical encoder feedback. The cover glass trunnion provides an assembly means where the bonded surface is not contacted by the system. Accommodates panels up to 17" at 16:9.

PC-9920A UV EPROM/wafer erasing system is for high-volume production. Reportedly has an operating UV intensity up to 60% greater than other systems. Drawer measures 93.3 x 71.1 x 4.4cm; provides for loading of wafers, printed circuit boards, open-faced stocking tubes and metric cards. Adjustable quick load/unload tray inserts can be set to varying heights. Accommodates load capacity of 150mm wafers. PC-9920A-LT system includes light tower; has red/yellow/green signals that indicate the mode status at every stage of operation. Both systems use nine ultra-high intensity, ozone-free, low-pressure mercury vapor quartz grid lamp assemblies. UV grid lamps reportedly increase throughput. Has nominal 254nm irradiance of 70,000 µW/cm² over a 91.4 x 61cm erasing area.
