The EM Eye Meter universal test and measurement platform provides three devices in one unit. Consists of a base unit and three separate sensors for electromagnetic interference, radio frequency and electrostatic discharge detection. Instantly displays information on its color touch screen and logs data on an SD card. The handheld size reportedly provides portability and permits checking of control plans more often. ESD sensor identifies steps in the process where ESD events occur; verifies ESD control methods are functioning as designed. Contains an ESD event counter that tracks the number of events above the set threshold and records discharge strength so immediate adjustments can be made. Detects and measures transient signals, minimizing interference with normal operation of sensitive equipment. RF sensor detects receptions of transmitted signals. For use in PCBs, hard disk drives, defense and aerospace, medical equipment and semiconductors.

The Precisioncoat spray and dispense system now has programmable tilt and rotate, needle calibration and a vision system. The programmable tilt and rotate functionality provides 5 axes to coat alongside and underneath components. Is said to have precise movement along the x, y and z axes; offers programmable tilt up to ± 60° and 360° rotation in 1° increments. Needle calibration is designed to verify the needle is in the correct position. If the needle is offset, the program will adjust accordingly. Uses fiducial or pattern recognition to identify the location of the board to be coated.
