Model 2500-DA is for two-part viscose compounds containing abrasive filler. Is a positive displacement machine capable of reducing wear because of its double-acting design and abrasion-resistant metering cylinders and seals. The double-acting inline design reportedly reduces stress caused by high viscosity fluids and delivers on-demand dispensing without interruption for reloading the metering cylinders. The 2500-DA is said to double the life expectancy of seals by reducing the recharge cycles necessary during dispensing. Uses 4-way flow directional valves for maintaining accurate flow ratios.

The PCT-100 Pre-heater Convection Tool is said to enhance process control during Pb-free hand assembly and rework. Uses convection air heating to maximize responsiveness and avoid temperature overshoot. Can be used with or without a board holder to perform hand assembly or rework tasks on surface mount or through-hole assemblies. Can be used with conventional SnPb and Pb-free solders. The unit reportedly ramps quickly to desired temperature, following a controlled slope to eliminate thermal shock to the board and components. The 10cfm fan fitted to the unit enhances heating and cooling. Has been designed for production environments worldwide, meeting international standards for ESD safety and maximum casing temperature.
