The SMT1000-ZD is reportedly capable of removing rosin, no-clean and water-soluble fluxes. Said to be compatible with Pb-free solders and solder pastes. A single button is said to direct the machine to wash, rinse and dry full loads of assemblies. Has a built-in chemical management system that automatically mixes and doses wash chemical into the wash-solution recycling system. Recycling system permits wash solution to be filtered and reused on subsequent cycles. Zero-discharge configuration operates in locations where drain lines are not available. Additional standard features include SPC data logging with network-compatible viewing, 10.4" graphic touch-screen interface, unlimited alpha-numeric recipe generation, ESD-safe adjustable board rack and “Focus-Wash” defluxing technology.

The MV-7L provides one top-down camera and four side-view cameras, each with a native resolution of 2 MP. The “Quad Angle Lighting System” is said to provide four independently programmable zones. Intelli-Scan laser reportedly precisely measures the z-height of a given region. Is said to provide four point height measurement capability for BGA and CSP coplanarity testing and enhanced solder paste measurement capability. Provides “drag and drop” component programming. Typical programming time said to be less than one hour per assembly.

The Juki 100 table/benchtop selective solder machine has a gliding carrier where the nozzle is lifted through the access hole to the soldering location. Then the nozzle is lowered back to the home position. The PCB then moves to the next soldering location via the gliding carrier. After positioning, the solder nozzle will go up through the access hole again and solder the next location. The gliding board carrier reportedly causes no friction across the top of the board. Said to not rely on special carriers or software to ensure level soldering. Features simple XYZ servo axis system borrowed from the XY fluxer. Includes a four-step setup. Maintenance is said to require no tools.
 

The Label Master 1100P label attachment system is reportedly fully automated. Uses SMEMA communication to stabilize PCBs during label placement, and has a front stopper and side-gauging device in the conveyor. Can dispense printed labels through the label printer or a preprinted label on a roll. Uses a robot placement positing system. Features a gantry-type robot (X-, Y- or Z- axis); 1- or 2-D scanner label verification; a fiducial-based board orientation/label centering vision camera, and TCP/IP data communication. Labels can be attached at a variable angle by applying the ÿ-axis (0° ~ 360°).
 

Lead-Free Solder Paste Remover is a blend of aliphatic glycol ethers, isopropyl alcohol and DI water. Said to be RoHS-compliant and usable with any type of solder paste. Can be used to clean stencils, screens, misprinted boards, tools, benches, machinery, and can remove chip bonder epoxies. 
 

The PPD-130 Peristaltic Pump Dispenser reportedly provides accurate and repeatable deposits of low viscosity fluids in an air-free system. The peristaltic pumping principle applies pressure to a soft Teflon tube. Fluid flow is said to be a function of the tube diameter and the pump rotational speed. Said to be self-priming on startup. Has a reverse direction. Can be programmed to provide up to 3 sec. of vacuum snuff-back for deposit control. A large segment LCD reportedly displays a timed countdown for fluid discharge from 0.01 – 99.99 sec. Available in 110V and 220V versions.

The MicroPad sensor, on the SE 300 Ultra platform, reportedly can measure solder paste on pads to 100 x 100

The 4710 automated programming system is reportedly the fastest at programming flash devices. Is capable of programming devices with densities up to 4 Gb. Incorporates high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus for communications. Said to combine programming of 64 Mb in 15 s and FX4 socket modules; reportedly can program up to 44 devices simultaneously (up to 1,400 devices/hr.) and programs at 0.24 s/Mb; voltage support down to 1.5 V (Vdd).

Stackers lift, transport and position up to a reported 3,000 lbs. at a time.  Come with manual or electric drive and feature battery-powered electric lift. Said to lift to heights of up to 80". Designed to handle any type of pallet or skid. Available in two configurations: fork-over, which reportedly works with any type of open-bottom pallet or skid, and straddle style, which accommodates any pallet or skid. Standard fork lengths are 45" for fork-over models and 42" for straddle units. Overall length is 63-66". Controls are located in the handle. Has locking hand brake.

The B3 benchtop automated optical inspection system for assembled PCBs reportedly improves inspection speed by up to three times. Fusion lighting and advanced image processing technology said to provide highest defect coverage of any benchtop system. Said to take less than 30 minutes to create a complete inspection program, including solder joints. Image processing technology integrates several techniques, including color, normalized correlation and rule-based algorithms.
 

Manual Snuf-Bak Horizontal Dispense Valve is designed for precision shot dispensing of one-component materials horizontally onto an exterior surface or into a product interior. Includes a standard valve in a hanging bracket assembly and a manually operated electric trigger. Volume dispensed is determined by a precision shot-meter, timer control panel or trigger-on time. Reportedly ideal for volume control and fast shutoff of viscous materials such as silicones, polyurethanes, greases and various thixotropic and cohesive adhesives and sealants. The 1/4" NPT outlet port accepts standard or custom plastic or metal dispense nozzle. Hanging bracket permits mounting from an overhead tool balance.
