9300 Series equipment platforms offers omnidirectional, ultra-low-frequency vibration damping and automatic leveling while raising equipment only inches off the floor. Proprietary airmount system provides vertical isolation, while tri-filar pendulum assembly provides stable cradle support for horizontal isolation. The pendulum assembly eliminates the need for the resonance-generating corner lift brackets.

Platform stiffness is comparable to that of a 3" plate of solid steel at approximately one-third the weight and with more efficient damping — vibration isolation efficiencies at maximum load (up to 25,000 lbs.) can be as high as 98% for vertical natural frequency and 96% for horizontal natural frequency. 

Standard platform is a rigid, lightweight, epoxy-laminated "sandwich" — a 2" composite layer between 1/2" top and bottom plates of corrosion-resistant steel.

Standard finish is black polyurethane, but can be finished with stainless steel or white epoxy powder coat.  Available in custom sizes or shapes, with extra leg supports, and with cutouts or notches. Nonmagnetic platforms are also available.

Applications include vibration isolation for SEMs, TEMs, CMMs, steppers and mask aligners.

In addition lead-free pastes and complementary fluxes for the SMT industry, Heraeus CMD will also introduce the F10B Series of no-clean solder pastes, said to offer exceptional print-to-print consistency and wetting capabilities. The series is the latest in the line of solder pastes, tack fluxes and SMT adhesives required in demanding surface mount manufacturing processes.

Also on display will be the full line of fluxes for reworking and solder ball attachment for no-clean and water-soluable applications. These fluxes feature extreme purity to ensure realiability.

The Gryphon line of AC and DC axial fans provides customers with economical thermal management solutions.
 
Integrated into each air-moving product is an electronic protection feature that automatically prevents damage to the product's motor and electronics, even if the propeller is physically jammed while the unit is powered. 
 
Standard tachometer feature is integrated in each DC axial fan.  The tachometer is a two pulse per revolution, open collector signal that measures rotational speed. It allows a host system to know the speed and health of a fan at any time during normal operation.                                            
 
Measure 25 to 120 mm, with 12, 24 and 48 volt versions. AC products are offered in 115 and 230-volt versions and compatible with either 50 or 60 Hz power sources.  AC models come standard with fitted terminals and are available with an optional plug and cord set to fit any connection. 
 
Each model is RoHS compliant and covered by a 12-month warranty.

New software and hardware improvements offer increased flexibility in the  design, specification and maintenance of horizontal carousel systems, and provide enhanced operating controls. Typically used for product picking in warehouse and distribution center operations and in buffering applications for manufacturing operations.

Improvements include modifications to the SpectrumPlus warehouse control system software. Streamlined reporting, improved processing speed and new inventory management functions are said to provide better control of the carousel induction process, carousel inventories and product replenishment.

Hardware enhancements include a new standardized track design, which enables the use of different sized product shelves on the same carousel track; the replacement of DC drives with AC drives; and the use of non-proprietary controls. Customers can now specify commercial, off-the-shelf control hardware.
