Series 6 x-ray inspection system includes hexaglide manipulation for manual and semi-automated inspection. Supports universal sample trays; inspects electronic components (e.g., double-sided printed circuit boards) and complete modules, as well as casting parts and medical implants. Can be equipped with automatic load/unload unit or for CT configuration. Permits flexible movements on all axes based on parallel-kinematic hexapod manipulation unit. Six axes motion unit can be moved via space mouse navigator in vertical and horizontal direction and around 180°. Inspects dimensions up to 400 x 400mm and has an XL configuration for up to 550 x 550mm as an option. Can be equipped with different x-ray tubes up to 160kV. Provides up to four x-ray images per sec. in transmission mode.

TC-2030 and TC-2035 thermally conductive adhesives were developed to enable design of more compact, reliable and higher performing automotive electronics assemblies. Are two-part, heat-cured silicone technologies. TC-2030 has a thermal conductivity of 2.7 W/mK. Reportedly provides improvement in elongation performance. Has bond line thickness of 130µm. TC-2035 helps manage heat in automotive applications, including power electronics. Has 3.3 W/mK thermal conductivity and BLT as low as 50µm. Bonds to thermal substrates, including direct bonding copper, high-density interconnect, low-temperature co-fired ceramic and printed circuit boards. Sustains performance at temperatures reaching 200°C.
