Two Part Mix solder pastes come in two compartment bags that keep flux and solder powder separate from each other until mixed. Have two-year shelf life without refrigeration. Mix inside bag by squeezing flux toward powder, causing seal to release. Knead bag end-to-end for two to three minutes to fully mix the paste.

Jumbo Elephant surface cleaner removes electrically charged particles on electronic assemblies. Combines ionization, compressed air cleaning, extraction and filtration technologies. Ionization neutralizes surface charges. Integrated compressed air nozzle removes fine particles from wells or indentations. Particles are exhausted and filtered. Particle-free purified air can be fed back to the working area. Portable. Max. noise level is 49 dB.

Vario AOI line has a new camera module. Compact housing includes one orthogonal and four angled-view cameras with 360° inspection, along with multispectral lighting. All cameras have large and congruent field of view and short image acquisition time. Telecentric optical system for orthogonal camera works in conjunction with adapted focal plane of angled-view modules for fault detection. Has axis system based on linear actuators. Optional 3D module features shadow-free measurement of components and solder joints, as well as circumference inspection, inspection for pins bent in x-y axis and measurement of pin height.
