SL101 air-controlled dispenser is CE-certified and RoHS-compliant. Features three modes of operation (manual, timed and cycle) and 10 memory positions for dispensing control and flexibility. Available in 110V and 220V versions and is said to be suitable for use with a wide range of liquids. Equipped with suck-back control. Comes with accessory kit.
 

The PS588 high-volume offline programmer now features ICOS 3D inspection. Is said to combine programming and 3D inspection into one high-speed process. Robotic head picks and presents device to the ICOS inspection module, where x, y and z axes are visually inspected for flaws or damage. Post-programming inspection reportedly ensures all passed devices fall within the coplanarity tolerances before output to media. Also inspects lead pitch and slant. Designed for OEM/ODM or programming centers producing in high volumes for small or large batches.

Thermofilm heat-activated films are said to resist heat, solvents and plasticizers and provide high-cohesive strength for long-term performance. Have a relatively low bonding temperature, for use on temperature-sensitive substrates.
 
Thermofilm heat-activated films form permanent bonds to metal, plastic, ceramic and woven materials. Can be used for assembly of memory cards, mobile phones, smart cards, flex circuits and print cartridges.

Servo-Flo 801-HV meter-mix dispensing system is designed to apply small precision beads and metered shots of precisely mixed resins. Said to provide longer bead lengths and an increased quantity of metered shots. Reportedly provides consistent and repeatable bead profiles and a change of flow rate during the dispense cycle.

Is designed to provide a variety of preset profiles and dispense results from 0.2 to 18 cc at a 1-to-1 ratio. Can be preset to vary flow rate during dispensing in automated, indexing, XYZ-motion and robotic processes.

Includes special mix-dispense long-life valve for high-cycle applications. Disposable mixers dispense epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones and acrylics.
