Tape Casting
	The Caster Model 2104 and 2109 Caster Model 2104 and 2109 The caster deposits the ceramic slurry on a polypropylene, mylar carrier tape or other tape material of any width up to 9" (229mm) and 13" (330mm).

Electro-Plating Machine
	Model FB201 The Electro-Plating Machine Model FB201 is specially designed for electro-plating of surface mount electronic components, from 0201 to 1206 sizes. The patented fluid bed plating technology (U.S. Patent 6,228,230 B1) eliminates the use of media in plating of small parts.

Precision Printer
	Model P2002-2 AEM precision printer Model P2002-2 is specially designed for high precision screen/stencil printing of electrode on ceramic bars on pallets.

Lab Scale Multilayer Ceramic Device Production System
	Tape Transfer Process Position of Conductor Pattern on Screen, Aligning the Screen in the Printer, and Establishing Accurate Registration in the Stack.
	Registration/Alignment Hole Punching Model 2124 - Alignment of the prints within the multilayer structure is achieved by a registration system based on holes punched along the edges of the plastic carrier tape the ceramic is cast upon.
	Screen Printing/Print Drying Model 2125 - A screen printer with a high precision printer specifically designed for multilayer ceramic devices in which several layers of different conductor patterns must be vertically aligned with a high degree of registration accuracy.
	Stacking and Lamination Model 2120 - The stacker is essentially a punch and die set and a high pressure laminator combined. Stacking registration is provided by a system of pins that engage holes in the mylar. There are several unique features that allow control over the way the punch enters the die.
