Linear bearings catalog
This catalog features a line of linear bearings, including ball slides, positioning tables, and micrometer-driven stages. The ball slides use traditional hardened steel, rod-type raceways and a line of balls, but also incorporate a proprietary elastomer spine that acts as a shock-absorbing back-up gib. Available in eight models and two different widths, the slides have a travel range of 1-6 in., travel accuracy of <0.001 in./in. or 0.0001 in./in., and a load-handling range of 20-85 lbs. Segmented rod positioning stages combine line contact with a pure friction, dovetail design and are made for low-duty cycle, micrometer-driven applications. On-axis and level cross-axis accuracy measures 0.0001 in.; stage height is 0.75 in.; and models are available in 2-, 3-, and 5-in. stage widths.

1999-2000 photoelectric sensor catalog
Ten new sensing families are introduced in this 712-page catalog, which contains more than 12,000 sensing products. Product sections detail modular, one-piece, and miniature self-contained sensors; color mark, laser, and bus network sensors; part-sensing light screens; optical touch buttons; remote sensors and component systems; fiber optic assemblies; and additional sensor accessories. Information sections include application drawings, model numbers, specs, beam patterns, excess gain curves, dimension drawings, hook-up diagrams, and sensor accessory details. The catalog also has a general section that provides information on sensing terms and data reference tables, as well as a glossary, international distributor list, and product index. It is available in either hard-copy or CD-ROM format. Banner Engineering Corp., Minneapolis, MN; ph 888/373-6767, fax 612/544-3213, e-mail [email protected], www.baneng.com.

Gas measurement brochure
Featured in this brochure is a spot-measurement tool that detects gas concentrations, providing the user with digital readouts of more than 40 gases and vapors. The chip measurement system (CMS), consisting of substance-specific measuring chips and an electronic analyzer with an optical system, a mass flow controller, and a pump system is described, as well as its response time, accuracy, operation, and maintenance. Product specs, part numbers, and chip measuring ranges are also included. Draeger Safety Inc., Pittsburgh, PA; ph 412/787-8383, fax 412/787-2207, www.draeger.net.

Circuit assembly brochure
Technologies for circuit assembly materials, including solder alternatives, thermal management products, and flip chip and chip-on-board assembly materials are described in this eight-page, four-color brochure titled Circuit Assembly Materials for the 21st Century and Beyond. The brochure features AMICON, a line of high-purity, one-component, capillary flow, flip chip underfill encapsulants, several of which offer no flow-fluxing. Chip-on-board glob top and dam-and-fill products, some photocurable, are included in the AMICON line. Also described are custom-cut film adhesives designed for thermal management applications, conductive adhesive solder alternatives, surface mount adhesives, and conformal coatings.

Contact sense probe guide
An illustrated product guide is available that describes the model 44-CS Contact Sense Probe, a tool that compensates for variations in wafer thickness. The 44-CS, which works on both conductive and nonconductive areas of a wafer, makes certain that the analytical probing station's probes apply the same force and depth of contact to a sample at all times. Without some type of contact sensing tool, the contact resistance of the probe to the sample would change and cause errors in the measurement made through the probes; data obtained would be unusable.

Equipment handling/automated assembly systems web site
A new web site on the Internet provides information on semiconductor handling equipment and automated assembly systems. Product information falls into three categories: semiconductor, assembly automation, and medical. Included are descriptions and images of products and their applications; comparative tables that give quick access to product features and key uses; and company history and contact information.
