Data Miner 2.0 data reporting software for manufacturing is said to bring the concept of lean to the development of manufacturing reports and analytics. Reportedly can retrieve, visualize, interrogate, and report on process, quality, production WIP, traceability, and performance information without requiring IT assistance, any database or reporting skill. Provides interactive, graphical way to incorporate historical manufacturing data in preconfigured reports without employing SQL. Reports are readily saved and delivered later by email or Web-based access. Once report is created and saved, the system can generate and send a report automatically. May be used alone or with iMonitor.

TechniShield is a plating process for individual shielding of active components. Offers direct plating to the molding compound; is said to create nonporous deposit that eliminates the need for metal caps or lids. Uses novel chemistry to roughen and plate the epoxy molding compound. Is chrome-free. Reportedly maintains excellent adhesion through multiple reflows and produces a pore-free surface.

2200-545 Series adjustable stroke mix-dispense valves are designed for controlled flow of 2-component adhesives and sealants, such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics. Are based on the No-Drip valve body design for fluid control, featuring the integration of carbide ball-end needles and carbide seats. The adjustable stroke feature permits the operator to fine-tune the flow rate by rotating the threaded stem on the back of the valve. The valve is also available with an eyelet stem for attaching to a tool balance. Are 2.25" in diameter by 5.5" long, and are rated for 3,500 psi (240 bar). Double air actuated with two 1/8 NPT ports for a 4-way pneumatic valve connections.  Body has two 1/4 NPT fluid inlet ports for Part A and B materials and accepts a wide variety of motionless mixers; has two screw holes and two dowel holes.
