DeltaProbe is an add-on technology for periodic profile capture. Offers process control without the need for test boards. Uses Smartlink interface; can hold product and process recipe information. Measurement sensors capture process records without a test card or wires. Is fitted to an adjustable frame; can be changed to the width of the printed circuit board being measured. Matched sensors show performance problems across the width of the oven heater. There are independent limit settings per oven zone. Can be used once a temperature profile is captured from a real test PCB.

Pro Series automated fluid dispensing system integrates vision and laser height sensing with closed-loop encoding to provide a complete automated solution that is quick to set up, easy to program and operate. Smart vision CCD camera captures detailed component part images and converts them into high resolution digital files. PRO4L Series includes fully integrated laser height sensing that detects height variations on the surface of a product and makes corrections to dispensing height to prevent uneven deposits and tip or workpiece damage. Novel DispenseMotion software simplifies setup and facilitates programming with an onscreen preview of dispensing path. Dispense tip can be driven to precise point needed. Eases importing and converting of DXF, CAD, and Excel files. True three-dimensional motion control allows easy programming of dots, lines, circles, arcs, compound arcs, and complex patterns. Comes in platform sizes of 200 x 200, 300 x 300, 400 x 400 and 500 x 500.
