V400 software reportedly reduces programming time 40%. Creates customer libraries automatically, permitting users to deploy the same library in different process stages from first-off inspection until post-reflow or post-wave soldering. Includes a calculation algorithm that operates with synthetic imaging algorithms; facilitates the deployment of rule-based algorithms. Is said to be ideal for high-volume production. Features an improved color-modeling algorithm.

Spectrum S-822 has dual-shuttle stages for chip scale package underfill and other electronics applications. Is standalone and offers controlled precision dispensing capabilities. Permits parallel processing on two shuttle stages for continuous dispensing; stages automatically slide in and out through an opening in the front of the machine. Options include choice of impingement or contact heated stations. Jet-on-the-Fly dispenses lines of dots continuously. Calibrated process jetting uses weight control. Dynamic dispense control offers flexible control parameters through closed-loop servo technology. Mass flow control uses weight-controlled dispensing and automatic calibration. Comes with Fluidmove software and ESD glass and has passed all EMC testing for CE certification.
