VHX-5000 digital microscope instantly captures any area in complete focus, without the user adjusting focus. Provides high-resolution, large depth-of-field imaging and integrated 2D/3D measurement, without specialized training. Comes with CMOS camera capable of imaging at 50 frames per second. Automatically scans throughout the focal range and generates an image in focus. Enhances contrast and reduces over/under saturated areas on a target. Software describes implementation of each function of the VHX. Magnification range 0.1x - 5000x. Supports bright and dark field, transmitted, polarized, and differential interference observation.

MY600 jet printer has 50% higher throughput, reportedly reaching speeds of 1.1 million dots per hour. Handles flexible substrates, board cavities, package-on-package, QFNs and new components with small process windows. Controls dot volume, diameter and deposit repeatability. Adjusts solder paste volume and shape for each individual pad on the printed circuit board. Is entirely software-based, and can be programmed stand-alone or connected to certain pick-and-place machines.

RS-600 six zone air and nitrogen reflow ovens offer the same features as the larger 8- and 10-zone ovens, such as a top and bottom Independent air velocity controlling system and a four-way air recycling system in each zone. The six zone oven has a total heated length similar to ovens that are 7-, 8-, and 9-zones. KIC AFP (auto-focus power) is now a standard feature on reflow ovens.

OvenProbe is designed to measure a conventional reflow oven’s performance. Is designed for use after machine maintenance to benchmark the machine’s thermal transfer performance. Offers three matched thermal masses at the top and bottom that measure oven uniformity across the conveyor width, allowing the top and bottom heaters’ effects to be measured. Large thermal masses quantify the heating capability of the oven. Air temperature sensors permit heater and speed measurements.

PanaCIM Maintenance with Augmented Reality software provides instant communication and information to factory technicians -- when and where it is needed -- so they can respond to factory needs more effectively. Contains built-in features to curb human error, offering access to check lists, part lists, and repair history, among other documents, to assist in equipment breakdown or scheduled maintenance. Technicians can also easily enter data while still at the machine for future reference. Helps prioritize tasks and determine the technician in closest proximity to perform those tasks. Machines are identified through the camera of a tablet or mobile device and important information is overlaid right on the image. Runs on Windows, iOS, and Android.
