RemUVa is designed to remove coatings from finished assemblies. Has a fully configurable nozzle to permit working on smaller areas or to remove coating across a larger area. Reportedly does not damage adjacent devices, interconnects or PCBs. Is a bench-top powder abrasion system designed to remove conformal coatings, including UV40. Is equipped with adjustable powder flow control and air pressure regulation. Uses an abrasive media known as carbo-blast. Uses a point ionizer to reduce ESD from reaching levels that could potentially damage components.

Camalot SmartStream non-contact dispense pumps now come with optional Dual Head Synchronous Mode. Synchronous dispense mode said to improve throughput by 50% while eliminating risk of poor yields/scrapped product experienced by alternative approaches to simultaneous dispensing on multi-up circuits. Is capable of detecting panel rotation and will automatically switch to an asynchronous dispense mode to ensure that both heads dispense accurately on the PCBs within the skewed panel. New software algorithms ensure dual pumps are pitched correctly and have identical flow rates. Is compatible with the Camalot XyflexPro+ and FX-D dispense systems and may be retrofitted in the field.
