Vir-Stat air ionizers (VS-100) eliminate static charges in ESD-sensitive assembly areas. Are available in various configurations. Two bench-top units direct ionized air to the workspace directly in front of an assembler. One unit has an RS485 port for data collection; the other does not. Overhead ionizing units are available for controlling larger areas. Reduce "stiction" when handling extremely small insulative components.

Positive Cavity Displacement ‘H’ Series high-resolution pumps are compatible with epoxies, thermal greases, underfills, oils, silicones and UV encapsulants. Are designed for GPD platforms and may be used with other robots or tabletop operations with a tabletop controller. Viscous fluids are delivered to the substrate via luer nozzles; performance excels when using ‘S’ Taper tips. Metering technique is not affected by variations in temperature or reservoir pressure. Luer dispense tips offer higher flow rates than standard luer nozzles with a lower pressure buildup.

THERMLfilm HT is a high-temperature polyimide film able to withstand fluctuating temperatures, abrasion and chemicals. Is for high-density barcode and alphanumeric PCB labels. Topcoat provides a smooth printing surface. Is reportedly ideal for data matrix codes; provides consistent ANSI scannability. Static dissipating qualities of the topcoat minimize the risk of print voids. Heat resistance testing has revealed endurance at 500°F/260°C continuously for 5 min. and intermittently at up to 750°F/398°C.
