The CT23NP inline PCB router combines fast, low-stress depaneling with an easy programming feature using Windows XP image processing software. A turntable permits one board to be cut while another is uploaded at the same time reducing tact time. Flexible vacuum pickup and fixture permits depaneled board and waste to be unloaded simultaneously and safely. Other standard key features include automatic alignment by CCD camera, efficient dust collector, extended bit life and safety door.

These depanelers are said to separate panelized boards without stress. All models have dual upper and lower blades; the upper blades cut, while the lower ones guide the board along the score line. Reportedly cut as close as 1 mm from nearby components. Are available in motorized and manual versions. Include dial-adjustable speeds, acceptance of boards of unlimited lengths and adjustments for any board thickness. Most models include Plexiglas blade shields.

The Fluid Dispenser Pen with Nylon Brush Tip controls
flux flow. Can be used with solvents, lubricants, masking, RMA chemistries,
adhesives and water-based liquids.
The Dispensing Bottle hold larger quantities of fluids than the pens, while maintaining accuracy and precision for dispensing fluxes, solvents and various fluids. Capacity is 2 oz. Is ESD-safe. Uses a 2.5 cm-long capillary needle (0.25 or 0.50 cm inside diameter). Does not chemically react with such TCE or alcohol.
The IPA/DI Swab combats common ink stains and glue residues left during screen printing. It contains a non-aggressive cleaner suitable for use on plastic or metal surfaces.

Model 900 ESD Event Detector is a diagnostic tool for manufacturing environments sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Is used to identify suspected areas of ESD activity. A voltage-sensitive antenna can be positioned near potential problem areas. Detection is conveyed via an audible buzzer and/or a visual color-coded light display depicting intensity. Alerts to potentially harmful (and invisible) electrostatic charging. Is portable and powered by batteries. A universal power adapter can be used for AC line operation. Is CE compliant.

KIC Vision is now available with additional automatic capabilities. Is said to automatically measure a product’s thermal profile as frequently as once an hour. Can shut down the feed conveyor when the measured profile is no longer in spec. The optional SPC package automatically logs basic SPC charts, including Cpk, every time a new profile is measured. Will warn when the next profile’s Cpk level has dropped below the user selected level. Both the alarming and SPC functions can trigger a light tower to alert a technician of a problem. Data collected can be output automatically to an external file for further data management.
