NEA announces solid titanium retrofit kits for a variety of wave solder systems. The titanium upgrades help in Pb-free environments, as titanium withstands the corrosive effects of high tin content in Pb-free solder. Available for a variety of wave solder system components, including nozzles, chimneys, impellers, shafts and solder pots.
According to the company, solid titanium components have proven to be superior to coated components. Because coatings can be removed or scratched, components run the risk of being exposed to corrosive Pb-free solder, thereby reducing their productive life. Solid titanium components are reportedly less expensive than upgrades offered by OEMs.
Can be retrofit in the field, turn around of 10 days on standard size nozzles.

DVT 515 and 535 are easy-to-use vision sensors with a suite of vision tools. “The DVT 515 and 535 are not limited to a single or even a few generic machine vision functions, but handle a much broader range of applications than similarly-priced vision sensors,” said Kris Nelson, Sr. VP, Vision Sensors. “It’s also very easy for users to combine vision tools to inspect, measure, count, find features and compare patterns in order to automate inspection and ensure quality in a variety of applications and industries.” Are the lowest cost models in the DVT vision sensor family, which includes products for simple part inspection to defect detection, high-resolution and color applications. Operate with easy-to-use Intellect software that facilitates setup, integration and maintenance; are backward-compatible with FrameWork. Have built-in Ethernet to connect to factory networks and software, making communications with other vision systems, PLCs, SCADA systems, PCs and databases fast and easy.
