Visu2 software drives advanced process features and thermal control. Incorporates process and product traceability tools, remote diagnostics and an extensive product library within an intuitively designed interface. Extensive system documentation is available with a few keystrokes; offers password-protected security levels and multilingual operations, data recording and maintenance logging. Process and product traceability are supported via barcode and data recording of all relevant process parameters with time stamps. Uses capability control system to monitor process capability during the production process. CCS automatically translates data; creates control charts where trends of all time lengths are displayed as graphics.

E-form Plus laser-cut stencil uses an electroformed nickel said to increase solder paste volume, improve print-to-print consistency and release characteristics, and maximize surface contact between stencil and board.
 
Alloy 9 Plus alloy laser-cut stencil has a 7-step aperture polishing process. Developed to interact with laser equipment to produce smoother aperture walls and cleaner solder bricks, and to reduce print defects.
