PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
■ Ventilator Evaluation Kit
2021 Product of the Year
Finalist
An evaluation kit form Sensirion, Stafa, Switzerland, and Nicolay, Nagold, Germany, enables ventilator manufacturers
to take proximal measurements of respiratory gas rates as well as ventilation pressure. A pressure sensor is
physically integrated into the connector cap and on the software side in the evaluation electronics. Pressure measurements
are taken and converted into an electrical signal directly at the patient's side; the pressure signal is then
sent to the ventilator electronically. The signal is transmitted through an existing cable used to measure respiratory
gas flow values. The tube for tapping pressure is only a few centimeters long and runs to the cap on the flow sensor, where the pressure
signal is converted into an electrical signal.

Product Focus: Pumps/Valves
■ Fluid Dispensing System
Nordson Electronics Solutions, Carlsbad, CA,
has released a fluid dispensing system with high
accuracy, dual-valve jetting in two modes, and
patented, real-time correction to accommodate
skewed parts. Designed for high-volume electronics
manufacturing, ASYMTEK Forte MAX
dispenses from two identical or two different valves using a single set
of hardware. In one configuration, two high-frequency IntelliJet®
jetting systems dispense fluid simultaneously for applications with
multi-up, panelized, or patterned parts with consistent spacing. In a
second configuration, two different fluids are dispensed on the same
part from two different valves, such as for dam-and-fill encapsulation
and in high-mix production environments.

■ Surgical Ablation Pumps
Panel-mount pumps designed specifically
to meet the demands from medical device
specialists serving the surgical ablation market
are available from Watson Marlow Fluid
Technology Group, Cornwall, UK. The
400RXMD panel-mount pumps provide improved flow accuracy,
while a new tube holder ensures the tube locates in the right position
every time the safety lid is closed, providing rapid, trouble-free
tube loading. This minimizes the risk of human errors and thus
safeguards the process. The pump is part of a larger system that
includes an RF generator and a catheter or needle.

■ Smart Function Kit for Handling
A Smart Function Kit for Handling from
Bosch Rexroth, Charlotte, NC, offers users a
mechatronic subsystem for handling tasks that
can be used immediately. The kit can be used in
a variety of areas, such as production handling, machine assembly, and
packaging. Pick-and-place tasks can also be performed quickly and costeffectively,
as a Cartesian multi-axis system for packages of different
sizes, weights and formats. In addition to the preassembled multi-axis
system, which includes a motor, cable, and all attached parts, a suitable
Rexroth ctrlX servo drive and controller is included in the package.

Intro
Cov
■ Micro-Dosing Pump
Applications that traditionally require two or
three separate laboratory devices can now be
replaced with a single micro-dosing pump from
Piezo Motion Corp., Sarasota, FL. The 3-in-1
microinjector provides continuous microflow, rapid
micro-dosing, microinjection, micro-suction, rapid
sampling, and mixing with a footprint of 3.5 × 4.5 in. The microdosing
pump provides precise control over dispensed fluid volumes
as small as a single nanoliter droplet size. The system includes a programmable
user interface and pre-installed operating software. Both
the pump and controller include stainless steel foot mounts or
optional retort stand attachments.

■ Solenoid Valves
Emerson, Florham Park, NJ, has
launched a range of two-way and threeway
solenoid valves that support OEMs'
need to develop more compact machines
and equipment without compromising on fluid control performance.
The optimized body design and internal flow path of the new
ASCO™ Series 256/356 not only provides a smaller footprint, but also
reduced power consumption and increased pressure ratings. The
reduced overall footprint helps OEMs optimize the internal layout of
their equipment, enabling more high-performance fluid control
options to be integrated into a smaller and sleeker final product. This
is especially important for manufacturers of medical devices.

■ Cord Clip
Interpower, Oskaloosa, IA, has released a new
optional cord clip for all of its U.S.-made 3 × 18 AWG
cords and 3 × 18 VCT-F Japanese cords. The new clip is
constructed of a glass-reinforced polypropylene compounded
resin for molding consistency and retention.
The clips are set at an optimal 4.75 in. behind the plug
and are molded in gray and black. These cords are ideal
for clipping excess cord to prevent tripping and injuries. The material is
not hazardous by OSHA Hazardous Communication Standard 29 CFR
1910.1200, and it is not an RCRA hazardous waste compounded resin.
