Tridak Model 475 diaphragm valves are designed to be used with low-to-medium viscosity fluids. Internal design prevents fluid contact with actuating components; reportedly ideal for reactive fluids such as cyanoacrylates and solvent-based adhesives and coatings.  Minimal valve maintenance is required. Offer stroke adjustment. Are available in three configurations: Standard Model 475 features an UHMW polyethylene diaphragm, acetyl copolymer fluid body, and hard-coated aluminum air cylinder body; Model 475-T valve features a Teflon diaphragm and fluid body with a hard-coated aluminum air cylinder body; Model 475-SA valve incorporates an UHMW polyethylene diaphragm, passivated stainless steel fluid body, and hard-coated aluminum air cylinder body.

Trident OneShot automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system is designed to provide automatic cleaning (de-fluxing), cleanliness testing, and drying of post-reflow circuit assemblies. Includes a 16" touch-screen interface, shadow-reducing focus-wash technology, unlimited recipe quantities, Windows PC control platform, networking capabilities, and real-time cleanliness testing. Features optional barcode scanning and SQL database searches. Is capable of removing all flux/paste residues (rosin, no-clean, water-soluble) from any alloy, and is designed to use a selection of pre-dosed defluxing chemistries. Boards are cleaned, cleanliness tested, and dried in less than 30 min.

UCM3070 boundary scan plug-on module is for the Agilent utility card of Medalist i3070 Series 5 in-circuit tester. Combine Agilent’s in-circuit test with Goepel boundary scan test in one machine.  Is generated with System Cascon software. Can be fitted on the utility card, which communicates with the host system via USB and is based on Scanbooster architecture for test clock of up to 16 MHz. The validated plug-on card enables boundary scan test with two test access ports (TAPs 1.8 V to 4.5 V), eight parallel interface ports for faster flash programming and optional analogue channels. Includes self-test of the device in hardware package.

Tridak Model 775H heated valve dispenses heavy, stringy, temperature-sensitive, or reactive materials. Is a pneumatically operated spool valve supplied with a temperature controller and thermocoupler. Heats material being dispensed from ambient up to 350°F. Can dispense volumes as little as 0.01 mL; provides continuous, adjustable and lockable flow. Offers an adjustable and lockable suck-back control. Can be supplied with special nozzles or manifolds. When heated, the valve can be used alone or as part of a complete heated system. Used alone, it lowers the viscosity of the material only at the dispense point.
