VectorGuard double-layer platinum stencil is for semiconductor applications and component manufacture. Is fabricated through a two-step lithography and nickel-electroforming process. The mesh layer holds the stencil intact. The circuit layer determines the thickness and shape of print deposits. Is for solar cell manufacture or LTCC manufacture. Reportedly prints long conductive lines without diminishing stencil strength. Combines filling and innerlayer printing stages. Dimensional accuracy said to be better than 0.1µm/mm.

Tridak Model 785 poppet valve dispenses low-to-medium viscosity materials, such as adhesives, silicones, greases, and other filled materials. Design minimizes friction between the actuating components of the valve and the material being dispensed. The stroke adjustment and control feature offers precise adjustment of fluid deposit volume and flow. Material is shut off cleanly at the end of each cycle. Peak performance is obtained when actuated with Tridak Model 345 valve controller.

Circuit frames for PCB repair can be custom laser-engraved to match the pads or trace areas requiring repair. Patterns on the frames can accommodate spaces/traces down to 0.025 mm. Designed for SnPb and Pb-free processes. Cutouts replace pads or traces on 1 oz copper PCBs. Come in epoxy and dry-film versions. Custom patterns can be laser-machined with lot sizes as low as one.
