Space Saver Frame reportedly reduces storage requirements while maintaining traditional stencil mounting techniques. Measures 29 x 29 x 0.5". Adapter measures 29 x 29 x 1" and is required for each printer. Is designed to be stretched with polyester mesh to provide a flexible mounting platform for stainless steel stencils. Is attached to adapter using pins that are permanently captured. Bushings receive the pins and prevent assembly from shifting while being installed in the printer; reduces storage space from 1.5" per stencil to 0.5" per stencil. Three frames are said to fit in traditional space of one.

Test protocol 4-wire (Kelvin) is a selectable option in the A6 and A5 flying probe tester models. Places two probes on each pad, assigning a separate current and voltage source. Has eight and 16 head designs. Can be ordered with full PCB automation. A standard four-head probe system reportedly can achieve a max. test speed of 22 test pt./sec. A multi-rail system is said to reach test speeds in excess of 35 - 40 test pt./sec. Can adapt a wide range of test pin types. Needle options include standard Kelvin needle and blade type Kelvin needle. 4-wire measurement achieves a minimal threshold value down to 0.1 mOhm. 4-wire needles can meet the specification value down to 75 µm pad and 150 µm for pitch.

EP-600 silver-filled electrically conductive two-part epoxy adhesive is for component mounting using dot dispense or screen printing. Is designed to attach components such as resistors, LEDs and grounding wires to metal and plastic substrates where solder or other conductive epoxies requiring high-temperature curing cannot be used. Is said to enable fast build of PTF circuits built on temperature sensitive substrates, such as PET, and for snap curing at low temperatures. Curabe at temperatures of 20º to 140ºC, with cure times ranging from 48 hr. to 2 to 6 min. Snap cure times are possible at higher temperatures. Will cure at room temperature. Once cured, joints on print-treated PET substrates reportedly demonstrate 30 to 40% greater bond strength than other conductive epoxies. Comes in pre-weighed pouches. Is said to reduce dispensing times by up to 70% on high-speed automated dispensers.
