a concurrent inline fluxing and preheating module that reportedly increases throughput. Intelligent, dual purpose system is said to concurrently applying flux to specific components to be soldered, then preheat the board in preparation for soldering while the board previously fluxed is being soldered. Applies wide range of flux types either vi atomizing flux applicator or precision drop-jet applicator. Contains six separate zones of topside preheating for a controlled ramp to soldering temperature without thermal stress to sensitive components while maintaining a uniform temperature gradient and stable topside board temperature. Entire preheating system is closed-loop controlled.

5R7-570(A) RoHS compliant open board electronic temperature controllers are designed with a proportional integral control algorithm to provide control to thermoelectric modules (Peltier). H-bridge temperature control provides transition between heating and cooling. Green LED for heat and blue LED for cooling indicate mode; simultaneous illumination indicates the load circuit is off due to an open sensor. Pulse width modulation controls power level in thermoelectric module at a base frequency of 1Khz. Power resolution is one of ±250 steps in the load circuit control. Temperature controller is 1.75" x 3.5" x 3" with input voltage of 6 to 28VDC, output voltage of 0 to 36VDC, load current of 0.1 to 12.5A, 450W output power control, control stability of ± 0.1°C, and temperature range of -20° to 150°C.

Model 821HH handheld 2kV electrostatic voltmeter enables voltage measurement – in contacting or non-contacting mode – with reportedly zero charge transfer. Is part of Infinitron product line for measurement  of site-specific voltage on devices and materials sensitive to ESD during handling and processing. Probe tip assumes voltage level of the measured object's surface as the tip approaches. Applications include semiconductors, photovoltaics, LEDs, and other electronic devices, as well as materials research. Can be used to measure both conductive and insulative surfaces. Includes measurement range of 0 to +/-2 kV DC or peak AC, input resistance greater than 1x10E+14 ohms, input capacitance less than 1x10E-14 farads, speed of response less than 500us for a 1kV step, and voltage display accuracy of better than 1% of full scale.
