and picking and placing. A design which involves only
two motors and a toothed belt are responsible for the machine’s overall small form, precision and speed. The model EXCM-30 delivers speeds of up to 1.6ft/s (500mm/s), and accuracy of ±0.020in (±0.5mm), and repeata- bility of ±0.002in (±0.05mm). Festo worked with Siemens to

System Carson City, NV — Plasma Etch, Inc., a specializer in plasma cleaning technology, has reported strong sales figures for its entry level plasma cleaner, which is aimed at small research facilities and universities. The PE-25 plasma cleaner is a
compact machine, measuring 14 x 14.5 x 18in (35.6 x 36.8 x 45.7cm). It has been designed for use in small production facilities and labs which need a small-scale plasma system. The system includes such features as automatic plasma control and a built-in control panel with a plasma timer. It can be easily upgraded to be controlled by a PC, and can also come equipped with a light tower for easy- to-read indication of the steps of the plasma processing sequence. Higher Watt and frequency
power supplies are available for those who need more output from the system.
Affordably priced for those who
need a smaller plasma system, the company reports that many cus- tomers return to purchase larger sys- tems after becoming comfortable
with the plasma process. Contact: Plasma Etch, Inc., 3522
