Keeping items and available space structured and organized minimizes search times and streamlines even the most complex work processes.

To achieve this, Kardex designed a wide range of special storage & transport boxes to meet every customer need.

The Kardex Miniload-in-a-Box* is part of the product family Vertical Buffer Module (VBM) and provides solutions for fast-growing product ranges with limited storage space. The system uses a lightweight mini-load crane with a telescopic gripper to individually transport bins or trays to the access opening point.

The new Kardex Megamat is an automated carousel which rotates vertically around a track to bring stored inventory to an operator. 

HPx High-Pressure Dispensing Tool easily apply precise amounts of thick assembly fluids like epoxies and medical-grade adhesives through dispense tips as small as 0.004” with Nordson EFD HPx™ dispensing tools. Featuring a unique design, HPx tools increase the pressure inside disposable syringe barrels up to seven times.

Nordson Electronics Solutions introduces its PD Series Plasma Deposition Systems family, which uses plasma polymerization to deposit thin films uniformly during precision manufacturing and assembly processes to change the surface characteristics of a substrate. Plasma deposition can be used for applications in a wide range of industries, including medical, life sciences, industrial, semiconductor, MEMS, plastics, and electronics.

The PD Series for plasma deposition uses a gas vapor or heated liquid monomer vapor delivery system to deposit coatings that can reduce, and in certain cases eliminate, tackiness, provide a tie layer, make surfaces more slippery or resistant to corrosion, act as a drug enhancement or inhibition agent in life sciences applications, and change desired surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic or vice versa. Polymers can be directly attached to a desired surface while the chains are growing, which reduces the steps necessary for other coating processes such as grafting. This is very useful for pinhole-free coatings of 100 picometers to 1 micrometer thickness with solvent insoluble polymers.

Key Features

• Low-temperature processing because plasma energy is the catalyst for film growth.

• Plasma deposition is uniform and applies coatings evenly over curved or varied-level surfaces.
• Precise control of film thickness.
• Eliminates wet chemistry. Because polymers are deposited directly from the monomer, there are no waste streams due to wet chemical synthesis or solvents.
• Exhibits similar properties to those created via standard chemical polymerization techniques.
• Can be used in multiple steps during device manufacture: pre-treat the surface, deposit material, and apply functionalized polymer films.

Bare Board Loader With Pass Through Mode is used for loading of bare PCBs to the production line.

This unit is used to invert PCBs (180°) for “double-sided” process.

This unit is used for loading of substrates, leadframes or carriers.
