ProtoMat D104 circuit board plotter carves traces out of fully coated base materials by negative contour routing. Changes tools automatically and performs contour milling or drills PCB vias. New features include a laser that extends the processing range to special sensitive materials and drills structures down to pitches of 100 microns (50 microns line / 50 micron space). Also processes ceramics.

PCB123 v. 5 includes tools to create slots and cutouts and file specific hole sizes. Can now create plated slots as small as 0.025" and as large as 0.250". Non-plated slots can be in the range of 0.031" to 0.257". Can set pin properties to include slot length and can design slots into the PCB layout. A cutout tool has been added; places cutout on the routing layer. Cutouts can optionally be drawn with a circle or poly-line. Includes file specific hole sizes. Can enter a finished hole size value for plated holes from 0.008" to 0.250" and non-plated holes from 0.0135" to 0.257."

Model 821HH handheld 2kV electrostatic voltmeter enables voltage measurement – in contacting or non-contacting mode – with reportedly zero charge transfer. Is part of Infinitron product line for measurement of site-specific voltage on devices and materials sensitive to ESD during handling and processing. Probe tip assumes voltage level of the measured object's surface as the tip approaches. Applications include semiconductors, photovoltaics, LEDs, and other electronic devices, as well as materials research. Can be used to measure both conductive and insulative surfaces. Includes measurement range of 0 to +/-2 kV DC or peak AC, input resistance greater than 1x10E+14 ohms, input capacitance less than 1x10E-14 farads, speed of response less than 500us for a 1kV step, and voltage display accuracy of better than 1% of full scale.
