Quad Lane conveyor system handles four PCBs side-by-side on a single machine. Can produce the same or different products on each track or any combination thereof. When larger boards are needed, switching to traditional transport concepts like the single conveyor, synchronous or asynchronous dual conveyor or i-Placement can be accomplished via software. Available as an option for Siplace X4 and Siplace X4i placement machines.

FusionQuad packages are lead-frame-based plastic, offering integration of ExposedPad TQFP and MLF technologies. Are said to extend I/O range of classic lead-frame packaging to nearly 400 unique pins; deliver approximately 50% reduction in package size for a given lead count. The drop test board is intended to evaluate and compare drop performance of dummy electronic components. The thermal test board helps test and optimize assembly methods that may produce significant thermal gradients across the assembly in the x, y and z axes.

Long Stroke dispensers are designed for automatically dispensing RTV, epoxy, lubricants, adhesives and potting. The built-in digital syringe/valve controller and motion processor (w/ CF memory card) are said to result in high-speed/accuracy production in a compact bench-top package. Are network connectable and require no PC for operation. Virtually any stroke length may be provided. Advanced motion profiles and a library of pre-programmed paths (lines, dots, fills, etc.) are included. Is also available in FDA, GMP grade construction.

SafetySmart Barrier Cream is a non-greasy skin protectant lotion said to form an invisible barrier on skin. Incorporates a moisturizing formula while protecting hands from harsh chemicals, odors and soils. A single application reportedly will protect skin for up to 4 hours. Is alcohol-free, fragrance-free, nonflammable and non-toxic. Can protect hands from solvents, paint, grease, oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, detergents or any soil. Uses two types of silicone. Lanolin helps prevent hydrocarbons from penetrating skin.

EMAX 903 is a UV/visible light cure, solvent-free conformal coating with a secondary moisture cure mechanism. Dual-cure system is said to ensure complete cure in PCB protection applications where shadow areas on high-density circuit boards are a concern. Fluoresces vivid blue for black light inspection. Is compliant with RoHS and is MIL-I-46058C and IPC-CC-830B listed and UL 94 V0 approved.

EMAX 904-Gel-SC and EMAX 904-T-SC are high-strength UV/visible light-curing adhesives formulated for securing vulnerable components on circuit boards. Feature Dymax See-Cure technology to monitor curing process. Uncured adhesive is tinted blue; curing changes the adhesive to colorless. EMAX 904-Gel-SC is a non-slumping adhesive for use in applications where post-dispense flow is undesirable. EMAX 904-T-SC is a viscous, flowable adhesive for applications where controlled adhesive flow after dispensing is preferred. Both are single-component materials and compliant with RoHS.
