Universal Cover Tape 2688, Static Dissipative contains an antistatic coating designed to help prevent product damage and loss resulting from static charge causing components to stick to the cover tape. Also available is Universal Cover Tape 2680, Non-Conductive, for products not susceptible to static charge. Designed to seal electrical and electronics components into embossed carrier tape materials, including paper. Are said to be compatible with virtually all equipment and carrier tapes. Have pressure-sensitive adhesive, designed to create a strong bond to polycarbonate, polystyrene and paper carriers. Help reduce risk of component migration, flipping, vibration and chip sticking in feeders.

Link conveyors for SPI NG/good buffer are designed to stack NG PCBs and transfer good PCBs to the next process using FIFO. Features include PCB shock-free and noncontact power transmission. Has RS-232C interface with SPI and NG PCB anti-touch verification. Is said to provide increased line efficiency and requires minimal space. No need to filter NG PCBs, and SPI operates normally, even during NG PCB verification. AOI NG Buffer stacks NG PCBs and pushes good PCBs to the next AOI inspection process. Features a PCB shock-free and noncontact power transmission. Both systems feature a SMEMA interface, a slim, round design, adjustable stacking, a LED tower light and touch-screen operation.

Falcon 3-axis non-contact video measuring system is said to be suitable for multi-user shop-floor use and advanced manufacturing inspection applications. Employs high-resolution indexed zoom optics (up to 100x magnification), with an indexed camera iris control, increasing accuracy and repeatability of Z-axis results. Incorporates controllable quadrant LED illumination and motorized Z-axis control. Measuring stages provide a measurement capacity of up to 150 x 150 x 115 mm (X, Y, Z) and include factory-completed NLEC calibration as standard.
