CeTaQ Shuttle carrier now offers stability validation of reflow ovens. Is said to control temperature profiles, thus optimizing process control. Records temperatures using seven to 12 thermocouple sensors fixed on small pieces of titanium. The board is sent 20 times through the oven using a standard profile from production. The temperature profile used by the customer is the reference for the measurement. Imports data after each run. Calculates peak temperature, reflow time, soak time, and min/max gradient.

Polypropylene double barrel syringes consist of a manual plunger, a dual-cylinder syringe, and a static mixer. Are available in 2.5, 5 and 10 mL capacities, and are offered in 1:1, 4:1 and 10:1 ratios. Separated cylinders prevent diffusion of the two components. Is said to provide precise mixing and dispensing for applications requiring nominal amounts of adhesive. Also available in black.
Space Saver Frame reportedly reduces storage requirements while maintaining traditional stencil mounting techniques. Measures 29 x 29 x 0.5". Adapter measures 29 x 29 x 1" and is required for each printer. Is designed to be stretched with polyester mesh to provide a flexible mounting platform for stainless steel stencils. Is attached to adapter using pins that are permanently captured. Bushings receive the pins and prevent assembly from shifting while being installed in the printer; reduces storage space from 1.5" per stencil to 0.5" per stencil. Three frames are said to fit in traditional space of one.
