Catch System 4-D AOI process control can network multiple machines into a closed loop process monitoring and quality control system. Uses an open source SQL database. Has three additional modules that each manage a particular component and connect to the physical and administrative layout of the factory. CS Repair provides a paperless system of defect classification and repair, working from three process operational variations and including full barcode control with multi-panel barcoding. Enables user to observe from a remote location or a factory display. CS Analyzer delivers SPC track and trace and end of batch performance analysis.

The 24" Chargebuster Overhead Ionizer uses steady-state DC to provide a consistent offset voltage (balance) of ±10V. Discharge time is < 3 sec. per ANSI/ESD STM 3.1. Has auto-feedback system with audible and visual alarms. Automatically shuts down and alarms when supply voltage drops. Input voltage is 120/220 VAC selectable. Three-position fans provide consistent ionization performance at all speeds. Emitter pins are field-replaceable.

DataMan 200 ID Reader is said to be the first image-based reader to feature full Ethernet connectivity in a package the size of a matchbox; is also the first to offer liquid lens technology. Ethernet connectivity provides real-time data and image transfer, and integration with plant controllers and information networks. Liquid lens technology is optional; adjusts the camera’s focus by applying an electrical charge to fluid within the lens. Autofocus is achieved with a single software command. Reportedly provides excellent depth of field and field-of-view range. Setup uses two laser aimers. Laser targets are seen through the entire depth of field. Supports a wide range of 1-D and 2-D codes, including UPC/EAN/JAN, Code 39, Code 128, Code 93, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, QR Code, and micro QR Code.
