Tuff Trac ESD Lo-CHAR technology is a dual-layer, PVC-based electrostatic discharging mat for use on floors and work surfaces where static discharge may be harmful. Mats are designed for use in monitored environments to perform at range of 106 to 108. Are manufactured with PVC that includes a blend of flame-retardant and low smoke chemistry. Meet ASTM standards for both smoke and flame resistance per NFPA Life Safety Code 101. In tests, reportedly barely sustained flame after 4 min. of continuous exposure and self-extinguished at 6 min.

Solvent-free thick film coatings Elpeguard Twin-Cure FP 115-0304 and FP 115-0306 were developed for LED curing at a wavelength of 395nm, followed by air humidity crosslinking in shadow areas. After UV curing, FP 115-0304 is tack-free within one hr. and inline-capable. Is best suited for protecting assembled printed circuit boards. FP 115-0306, once UV cured, takes longer to be tack-free; is good for all lighting electronics applications. Both reportedly have outstanding chemical, climatic and mechanical resistance.

ULT 1500 and ULT 2500 are designed for removal and filtration of hazardous substances in dust, laser fume and welding smoke. Use conic filter cartridges. Dust deposits are collected in a removal container for low contamination disposal. Can be adapted to various process conditions. Can select extraction position. Feature optional swing check valve to protect pipelines. Can be used in limited spaces. Systems have front access. Rotary nozzle de-dusting reduces compressed air consumption. Filtered air can be fed back to working area.

Huntron Tracker 3200S, for power-off diagnostic testing during circuit board repair, has variable range parameters for hundreds of voltage, source resistance and frequency combinations. Most popular combinations can be saved. Color touchscreen display controls other features, such as built-in Pulse Generator, front panel pin selection and Channel A/B settings. Workstation software automates analog signature analysis (ASA) based tests by creating a test plan, capturing signatures, comparing to stored signatures and viewing the results. Automatically stored for sharing on demand. Includes self-paced Huntron ASA Training Course with printed circuit assembly, MP20 microprobes (one pair), common test leads, two blue clip leads, 20 and 40 pin DIP clips.
