mySelective 6748 selective soldering system now features a wave height measurement system. Ensures a specific predetermined wave height for every PCB by automatically adjusting the solder pump RPMs. Uses a laser-based sensor to detect, measure, and monitor SelectWave height. Is said to prevent loss of cycle time. Stores individual PCB settings in the management info database. Combines SelectWave and MultiWave soldering technology; has on-the-fly reconfigurability, inline fluxing and preheating.

ESD 3-ring binders now have static dissipative clear overlay pockets. Pockets on the front, back, and spine permit insertion of your own covers or documents. Interior pockets permit additional storage. Interior and exterior vinyl surfaces are static dissipative and are ideal for handling documents in ESD protected areas. The format is 8-1/2" x 11". Come in five ring sizes: ½", 1", 1-1/2", 2", and 3".

ESD-safe DTV-2000 Vacuum-Tweezer contains two separate vacuum pumps. Enables two operators to share, or a single operator to use with two vacuum tips. Handles a range of SMD parts from 01005 to several inches in size. The long-life diaphragm pumps generate up to 6" of mercury with an open-air flow of 1.7 lpm on each side. Connects to ESD ground automatically with a three-wire power cord. Comes with two vacuum pens and nine different vacuum tips.

The 3000 and 4000 series autohandlers have undergone improvements, include a speed increase, support for high-density devices, and new input and output media. Teach times and user interaction are said to have been reduced. When teaching multi-socket modules, such as the FX4, only one target device is required to teach all sockets on the programmer site; can validate and adjust previously taught sockets using one target device. Now automates removal of target devices during an-all programmer site teach; uses pick-and-place to extract a target device from the programmer site and place the device into a peripheral destination after teach session has concluded. TS-1500 tray stacker supports low profile and custom trays to accommodate different tray heights. Can select first pocket containing a device of a partially filled input tray; pick-and-place picks the device from this specified location. A diagnostic has been implemented to test the image quality of the Cyber-Optics laser align camera.
