TS6500CIM Techkit Mixer features a redesigned plunger assembly that encloses the magnet used to sense the position of the plunger. Guarding encloses the magnet to prevent it from being knocked out of position. Incorporates a two-hand start, a strengthened metal door with acrylic windows fitted with a safety interlock, and an emergency stop button. Includes pressure relief valve; plunger assembly depressurizes when the safety door is opened. Applies pressure on rear of cartridge plunger to prevent air from entering the cartridge during the mixing process. Has adjustable automatic injection rod and automatic precision level sensing. Automatically mixes two-component materials filled inside a cartridge kit.

RoadRunner3 automated inline programmer is said to eliminate errors through its connection to manufacturing execution system (MES) or other shop-floor control and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Feeder mounts directly onto an SMT machine without consuming additional floor space or altering the production line; integrates into existing SMT processes. Programs four devices in parallel and delivers the programmed parts to the pickup point of the placement machine. Configurable tape-in module adjusts for tape widths from 16 to 44mm. Has FIS modules, FIS remote and FIS track. Features FlashCORE III.

Resin Remover Solvent and Conformal Coating Remover Gel have been developed to work without the use of dichloromethane; has been replaced with a safer alternative solvent blend. RRS is designed to swell and soften, and dissolve cured coatings, as well as epoxy and polyurethane resins. CCRG thixotropic gel is formulated to remove solvent-resistant coatings (including DCA, DCB and DCR). Both will be available in November.

DB-1541-LTC low-temperature curing conductive adhesive is for use in organic solar modules or other temperature-sensitive photovoltaic devices. Optimized for excellent conductivity and stability on various substrates when cured at 100°C. Has a dispensing work life greater than 48 hrs. (measured as a 25% increase in viscosity), while maintaining optimized rheology for dispensing and excellent damp heat resistance and conductivity stability on tin, tin-silver and silver-plated ribbons. Is reportedly ideal for flexible photovoltaic applications with high peel strength. Can be fast cured at elevated temperatures (1 min. at 180°C).
