MAP v. 2.17a thermal profiling software permits programming the number of degrees within the peak temperature on any channel, and measuring the time during which the channel was above that temperature. Defines the amount of time (within 5°C) of peak a particular component can withstand without damage. Permits optional alignment of profile channel data using board placement physical dimensions and conveyor speed, reducing the lag time in retrieving information from the back of the board. Is said to predict (within 1 to 2 °C) the board temperatures by adjusting the bottom zone temperature in addition to the traditional top zone adjustment.
MS151 two-part silicone optical adhesive has a reported refractive index of 1.43 and is for optical potting, casting and encapsulation. Cures at room temperature; is said to provide electrical insulation and resistance to vibration, impact, shock and thermal cycling. Shrinkage on cure is less than 0.1%. Dielectric strength is 460 V/mil and volume resistivity is 1x10E15 ohm-cm. Exhibits elongation-at-break of 160%. Operating temperature range is -65° to +400°F (-64° to 205°C).
Sarcon GR-H and XR-H thermal interface gap pads are said to simplify board-level maintenance by reducing material tearing during disassembly for rework and repair. Are manufactured with a hardened top surface. One-sided surface treatment is less tacky than the opposing contact side, permitting the thermal pad to consistently adhere to the electrical component or opposing heat sink. Release from component without tearing or damage. Are available in eight different formulations; offer thermal conductivity from 1.2 to 17.0W/m°K. Sarcon Hardened Surface conforms to uneven components. Gap fillers are available in sheets with thicknesses from 0.5 to 5.0 mm to 200 x 300 mm.
Catch System 4-D AOI process control can network multiple machines into a closed loop process monitoring and quality control system. Uses an open source SQL database. Has three additional modules that each manage a particular component and connect to the physical and administrative layout of the factory. CS Repair provides a paperless system of defect classification and repair, working from three process operational variations and including full barcode control with multi-panel barcoding. Enables user to observe from a remote location or a factory display. CS Analyzer delivers SPC track and trace and end of batch performance analysis.

The Panel Master dispenses epoxies, sealants, RTV and more. Is available with through feed roller conveyors (with sensors, stops and locaters); is said to be ideal for automated production. Rollers are available in different materials, including engineered thermoplastics of different durometers. Standard sizes up to 50" x 100". Is self-contained; features embedded control technology, requiring no PC for operation. Supports barcode, RF tag and digital technology. Full pattern recognition vision system is available.
The 24" Chargebuster Overhead Ionizer uses steady-state DC to provide a consistent offset voltage (balance) of ±10V. Discharge time is < 3 sec. per ANSI/ESD STM 3.1. Has auto-feedback system with audible and visual alarms. Automatically shuts down and alarms when supply voltage drops. Input voltage is 120/220 VAC selectable. Three-position fans provide consistent ionization performance at all speeds. Emitter pins are field-replaceable.
