Anticross-threading captive screws - Penn Engineering

Jessica Shapiro — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:07:12 -0500

PEM C.A.P.S. spring-loaded captive panel screws install permanently in aluminum or steel sheets as thin as 0.036 in. The screws install by pressing into prepared mounting holes. The shoulder on the retainer provides a positive stop. Anticross-threading technology reliably corrects off-angle thread mating and ensures proper alignment.

Pipe welder - Mittel

Jessica Shapiro — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:21:14 -0500

Mittel TSC welding machine handles pipes up to 2,000 mm in diameter and creates joints as strong as the bulk pipe material. The system precisely measures temperature along the entire weld, not just in one spot. The unit has about twice the power of previous versions and is insensitive to voltage variations. It logs weld position using GPS and can send files to computers via Bluetooth.

Dual-mode plasma etching system - Plasma Etch

Jessica Shapiro — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:53:57 -0500

The PE-100 Convertible plasma system incorporates reactive ion etching and isotropic etching/cleaning technologies into a stand-alone benchtop system. The all aluminum chamber has over 240 in.² of active processing surface with the three-level standard configuration.
The unit has directional electrodes for reactive ion etching for drilling microvias or cleaning small variations that can't be reached with chemicals. The isotropic etching/cleaning mode isn't directional.

LED light-curing system - Dymax Corp.

Jessica Shapiro — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:08:50 -0500

BlueWave LED DX-1000, an LED light-curing system, has lower curing temperatures, energy consumption, and cost than conventional lamp-curing systems. Intensity degrades less over time, and cure results are more consistent. The high-intensity 385-nm LED operates in small-area flood or spot-cure mode and is clean-room compatible. It has no mechanical shutters or moving parts for less maintenance downtime. Co-optimized adhesives designed to cure with the system are also available.

Low-HAP adhesives for elastomers - Lord Corp.

Jessica Shapiro — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:23:56 -0500

Chemlok 220LH and 6411LH are low-hazardous-air-pollutant, lead-free covercoat adhesives designed for use with Chemlok 205LH and 207LH primers. They bond natural rubber (NR), polyisoprene (IR), styrene-butadiene (SBR), polycholorprene (CR) and nitrile (NBR) to most metals and rigid plastic substrates. Applied by dip, spray, or brush methods, the adhesives resist heat, fluids, and corrosive atmospheres.
