The latest product guide includes dispensers, 700 Series consumables, and dispensing tip options. Entry-level dispensers include the TS250 digital dispenser, for general dispensing applications, and the TS255 digital dispenser, for precision dispensing of low-viscosity fluids. Also features advanced digital dispensers: the TS350 and TS355. The TS350 is capable of dispensing a range of fluid viscosities, while the TS355 specializes in precision dispensing of low-viscosity fluids. Featured 700 Series consumables include the receiver head assembly, end caps, air powered pistons, syringes, syringe assembly kits, and tip caps double helix thread. Dispensing tip options include the TE Series Tips, TE Series Bent Tips, TT Tips, TS-P Plastic Tips, and Brush Tips.

This system validates barcode labels as they are dispensed. Each label’s barcode is scanned and recorded in a database. Is automatically advanced and peeled from its liner and ready to be applied. Applications include validation that each number on the roll of labels has been dispensed for ISO requirements and use for inventory management when the database is used in conjunction with ERP systems. Optional PC-based validation software available.

Laser Radar Driver 5.1 software is said to set precision standards for automated, noncontact inspection of holes in large measuring volumes. Reportedly up to 30 times more accurate and repeatable than previous versions. Supports automatic freeform surface measurement and feature detection/inspection without SMR or other targeting tools. Can inspect hole feature position and diameter in large-scale applications. Features manual and automatic modes for inspection of hole features. In automatic mode, automatically moves from one hole to another, taking high speed measurements. Uses a 0 to 45º laser incident angle within an 8 m. perimeter; is said to realize average mean accuracy between 10 µm for holes with a diameter of 3.2 mm. Captures hole position and diameter up to a distance of 24 m.
