Aven, Inc.

The compact microscope is ideal for inspection, lab work, dermatology, education, slides, textile and printing quality control, fine art and jewelry appraisals, warranty claim documentation, training manuals and close-ups of collectibles..

The manufacturer of optical systems and test/measurement instruments also demonstrates auto-scanning tweezers, a circuit-testing meter pen and VGA high-definition cameras at the Medical Device & Manufacturing West event Feb. 8-10.

This portable air ionizer neutralizes static charges on insulation, plastics and circuit board substrates. It safeguards a process area of up to five feet against currents that harm solid state electronics.

Applications for these durable tools include prototyping, circuit board stenciling, insulation trimming and other custom tasks. Sharp points and honed cutting edges can accurately trim plastic, wood, cloth, rubber, leather, foam and cardboard.

Corrosion-resistant tools are a best-practice choice for medical device manufacturing, electronics fabrication, biotechnology, hospitals, environmental engineering, food processing, pharmaceutical labs, aerospace facilities and research centers.

Aven is the sole supplier of Vise Grip Pliers not made from carbon alloy steel. Stainless steel tools are recommended for critical environments to avoid ferrous contamination, such as in medical device and electronics manufacturing, as well as labs.

Task-engineered hand tools include 27 pliers and 20 cutters, all with dual leaf springs for comfortable, reliable use. Induction-hardened edges are featured on all cutters.

This attachment for any microscope has is practical for medical labs, scientific research, electronics design and manufacturing, and machine vision applications.

Portable microscopes are useful for parts inspection and precision assembly or fabrication quality control. Manufacturing engineers can check parts for hairline cracks or other microscopic defects simply by plugging the Mighty Scope into any laptop.

The optical inspection tools supplier will be at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) and the Medical Design & Manufacturing expo (MD&M Midwest), both this month in the Chicago area.
