KONTAKT CHEMIE’s products are getting increased focus via the launch of a dedicated brand page on the Conrad Business Supplies website. The page includes video content and other information to help customers select the most appropriate aerosol products for their needs. Conrad offers over 200 KONTAKT CHEMIE products that help solve a wide range of contamination and cleaning tasks in electrical, electronics and other assembly and manufacturin...

Designed for integration into any manufacturing operation, the PRO series of automated fluid dispensing systems has been released by Nordson EFD. Vision and laser height sensing is integrated with closed-loop encoding. This provides an automated solution which has advanced dispensing capabilities and is quick and easy to set up, programme and operate.

The UR5604 polyurethane resin, manufactured by Electrolube, has been chosen for use with a sensor designed for hazardous locations. The sensor's electronics, which are in the form of a PCB, needed to be protected from adverse atmospheric conditions but also meet the requirements of the hazardous location.

Resistant to temperatures up to 260°C, the 12AOHT-LO epoxy is now available from Master Bond. Offering thermal conductivity of 9-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F, the one component epoxy has passed ASTM E595 testing for NASA low outgassing and is well suited for vacuum environments. The epoxy can also be used for a range of bonding and sealing applications in the electronic, aerospace, OEM and electro-optic industries.

The benefits of colour change once cured with red fluorescence creates a combination expected to offer significant improvements in production efficiencies gained from rapid on-demand curing while ensuring greatly improved quality outcomes. This makes it possible to quickly inspect full adhesive joint coverage and cure, as well as post cure assurance of bond line integrity coupled with material validation post production.

Designed to be fitted at mission-critical elements of the manufacturing process line, the HEPA-lite cleanroom unit has been launched by Connect 2 Cleanrooms. To protect processes from contamination, the cleanroom unit provides localised filtered air. The unit does this without the need to enclose the entire machine set-up within a clean environment.

Boasting whisper-quiet operation, the i-CON VARIO 4 soldering station has been released by Ersa. The multi-channel soldering and de-soldering station provides air and vacuum generation for up to four simultaneously operating soldering and de-soldering tools. With the station, efficient processing of all SMT and THT soldering tasks is enabled. 

Nozzles and tooling for i-PULSE series surface mounters from Yamaha Motor Company’s SMT division are now being offered by Count On Tools. Standard nozzles for the M-series machines, along with custom engineered nozzles for odd-form components, are among the company's offerings.

Based on a proven design used in SMT equipment for over a decade, Count On Tools has introduced the Quad 01005 Ceramic Nozzle. The micro-component nozzle for Quad machines measures 0.32mm OD with a 1.00mm ID. It enables highly accurate, repeatable chip placement for 0201/01005 micro-components.

Suited for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications in the medical device industry, Master Bond's EP21AOLV-2Med is a two component epoxy system. The thermally conductive and electrically isolating epoxy withstands a variety of sterilisation methods, including EtO, radiation and many cold sterilants.
