Please read and understand this entire manual before installing or using your Exatron taper.
Exatron Safety Warnings

Typically, the taper is simply one part of a complete test system. It is the responsibility of the company purchasing the taper to properly train all taper operators in all of the safety practices required for every component of the test system. The following safety procedures must be followed at all times.
WARNING! Keep fingers, hair, and clothing away from any moving parts on the taper. Its motors are very powerful and can cause severe injury. WARNING! Never try to stop an action of the taper with your hands or any other device. To stop the taper, press the MAIN POWER button on the left side of the control box.

Using compressed air can be hazardous. It is the responsibility of the company purchasing the taper to properly train all taper operators in every aspect of the safety practices associated with the use of compressed air. WARNING! Never operate any Exatron system that requires compressed air without an approved air regulator and shutoff valve, such as that originally supplied with your system. WARNING! Never unplug a pressurized air hose while the air regulator is turned on.
Installation Requirements
Uncrating the Taper
The Model 1010 will usually come in a wooden crate which will require some disassembly to remove the taper. Please inspect the system when it is removed from the crate for any obvious damage which may be the result of shipping. Contact Exatron and the shipping company immediately should you see any damage.
Mounting the Taper

This machine should be installed in a dust-free environment to preclude dust and dirt particles from contaminating its moving parts, especially those parts which come into contact with the devices being tested. The life of your taper is greatly enhanced by keeping it as clean as possible.
Electrical Requirements
Tapers shipped either within the United States or offshore have built-in switching electrical supply capability for 100-volt AC to 240-volt AC, 50Hz to 60Hz at 3 amps or less. Tapers can be wired for either 100-120-volt AC, 60 Hz; or 220-240-volt AC, 50 Hzthis must be specified at time of order. CAUTION: Connect the power cord to earth-grounded power outlets only.

End-of-Life Handler Disposal
If the taper is to be used in an electrically noisy environment or near large electromechanical equipment, Exatron recommends the use of a reliable power conditioner to filter line noise, surges, and spikes which can cause the taper to operate improperly or become damaged. Service calls made to the customer facility to correct problems caused by improper electrical supply are not covered by the Exatron warranty.
Pressurized Air Source

The Model 1010 requires a supply of pressurized air at 50 PSI, filtered for proper operation. The air supply must be clean (containing no particulate matter greater than 5 microns in size), oil-free, and dry (having a dew point of 36 degrees F to 38 degrees F) to operate correctly. Dirty, oily or wet air will cause the vacuum generator to malfunction and will make your system unreliable. The external air source should be attached to the air regulator mounted on the taper base. Before turning on the air regulator and using the taper, make certain the compressed air line is attached to the air regulator fitting. Check to make sure the air regulator gauge on the external regulator measures the air pressure at 50 PSI, and adjust if necessary. To maintain these levels of pressurized air quality, replace the coalescing air filter (Exatron part #GPA-97-075) in the air regulator of your handler after every 6000 hours or 12 months of operation, whichever comes first; or if your air regulator registers a pressure drop of 15 PSI. Moisture of any kind will travel through external and internal air lines. This moisture will coat these air lines and the insides of the handler's cylinders, causing them to stick or to stop functioning altogether. The best defense against this kind of contaminate is to prevent it from occurring in the first place by maintaining the clean air supply described above. If the air lines are allowed to become discolored or the moisture traps become overfilled, damage to the system will occur. The only corrective action to take at that point is to replace all of the air lines and to completely clean all of the solenoids supplied by those air lines. Handler damage due to improper air supply is not covered by the Exatron warranty.
End-of-Life Handler Disposal

Exatron has no time limit on Exatron product support. We will make every effort to repair any of our products, no matter how old it is. Our never-ending support greatly extends the life of many of our products. Exatron offers "trade-ins" on any of our products as part of a new Exatron equipment purchase. Exact terms are subject to quote at that time. This applies to any used Exatron product as a trade-in on any new Exatron product. We will service our products even when the product is not purchased directly from Exatron. This makes the resale valve of Exatron products high as compared to many of our competitors. The customer can sell the product to a third party, used equipment vendor, or online as, for example, on eBay. Exatron will always offer spare parts, service contacts, and rebuilds of any of our products.

Most of the materials used in the construction of our products can be recycled. When it comes time to finally retire an Exatron product, the customer can ship the product back to Exatron, at the customers expense, and we will quote the cost to dismantle and recycle the handler. In many cases, there is no charge for this service other than any third-party disposal fees as required. Whenever possible, reusable components will be offered as a donation to local schools. Please note that in many cases, Exatron builds systems using major third-party pieces of equipment. These include lasers, printers, camera inspection, chillers, fume extractors, and other large OEM (original equipment manufacturer) subsystems. Exatron will attempt to provide the same support as best we can for these subsystems. Exact details cannot be determined until the day comes that end-of-life service is required. The customer is free to contact the OEM directly for its end-of life service policy and then deal directly with that OEM.
Standard Warranty
All Exatron products are under warranty for one year from the date of purchase. Exatron agrees to repair any mechanical or electrical assembly, subassembly, or entire unit which fails during normal use within its first year. The customer agrees to follow the recommended maintenance procedure as defined in the Users Manual. Exatron does not warrant test contactors. Handler test contactors are fragile and may be easily ruined by operator abuse. Exatron uses the finest materials available in our contactor designs. All warranty work must be performed at the Exatron factory or at an authorized Representative Service location. As described below, in-house service by our customers is encouraged. Exatron does not warrant the following: Damage caused by improper packaging of equipment returned to Exatron for repair Damage caused by the freight forwarder Damage caused by acts of God: flood, fire, earthquake, etc. Damage caused by equipment connected to improper power line voltages Damage caused by equipment connected to improper air supply: contaminated with oil, water, dirt, etc. Operator abuse Interface hardware not manufactured by Exatron Test contactors

Customer In-House Service
Customer In-House Service

Except in the case of laser marking systems, Exatron encourages customer in-house equipment service and tries to make in-house service as easy as possible to perform. There are no "Void Warranty" warning stickers on Exatron tapers. Exatron will even honor the warranty on a unit when an in-house repair attempt leads to further damage to the unit. By using the built-in diagnostic software and diagnostic tools, it is usually possible for the operator to isolate a problem quickly and effect a repair.
Offshore Warranty Service

An Exatron taper purchased in the United States and then shipped offshore will be warranted through Exatron in California. Replacement parts are furnished for a period of one year from date of purchase with the exception of replacement contactors. In most cases, it will not be necessary to return the worn part from the offshore user location. To receive offshore service support, the taper must be purchased through your local Exatron Representative or an extended warranty agreement must be purchased directly from your local Exatron Representative. Please supply the following information when requesting offshore service or replacement parts: The part number(s) required. If the part number is not known, photocopy the part and fax it to Exatron. The model number of the taper The type of device being run by the taper, such as: DIP, SOIC, SOJ, PLCC, LCC, SIP, PGA, PCB, ZIP, etc. The tapers serial number The full shipping address Any special shipping or customs instructions Method of shipment, such as: Federal Express, UPS, DHL, U.S. Mail, or the name of your chosen freight forwarder In most cases, faxed requests and shipment of replacement parts orders are processed within twenty-four hours of receipt by Exatron.

Significance of the Manuals Version Number

The version number on the cover page of this manual indicates three things about the revision version. The first number is for complete overhauls and brand new manuals. The second number is for small section changes and additions. The third number is for small typo changes. For example, version 2.0.1 would refer to a completely redone manual, which had since had a few typographical changes made. The difference between 2.0 and 2.0.1 would be negligible. However, the differences between version 1.0 and 2.0 would be substantial.

How the Taper Works

The operator manually reels out empty carrier tape from the supply reel on the right end of the taper. The operator places devices in the tape pockets as the tape lies flat on the insertion tape track. When a section of tape has been filled, the operator presses the hand/foot pedal. This does two things: The takeup reel motor is activated, pulling the tape along the track toward the takeup reel. The seal heads are activated, lowering onto the carrier tape and pressing the cover tape against the carrier tape. The seal heads may seal either by pressure or heat, depending on the option(s) ordered. Model 1010 has heat seal heads and meters; Model 1005 does not. When the filled carrier tape has moved left and another section of empty tape is available on the insertion tape track, the operator releases the hand/foot pedal, and the motors stop. The cycle repeats.
Mounting the Takeup Reel

Ensure the handler is powered off before beginning. To mount an empty takeup reel: 1. Loosen the thumbscrew on the locking hub of the takeup wheel drive shaft located on the extreme left of the taper (Figure 2-3). Remove the hub and place an empty takeup reel onto the drive shaft. 2. With the three hub pins aligned to the three pinholes in the center of the reel (Figure 2-3), slide the locking hub over the reel and back into place. 3. Tighten the thumbscrew to lock the takeup reel in position.

Adjusting the Carrier Tape Track Width

You may need to change the carrier tape track width when different sized devices are processed. This procedure is best accomplished along with the next procedure, "Loading the Carrier Tape" on page 2-6. Track width adjustment knobs
Figure 2-5: Carrier Tape Track at Different Widths
This is accomplished using two of three knobs: either of the track width adjustment knobs, and the track width locking knob. CAUTION: Loosen the track width locking knob and the guide block screws before turning the adjustment knobs to prevent bending and damage to the aluminum parts.

To adjust the width of a carrier tape track: 1. Turn the track width locking knob counterclockwise to loosen it (Figure 2-6). 2. Turn both guide block screws counterclockwise to loosen them. 3. Turn either the front or back track width adjustment knob to adjust the track width (Figure 2-5). (They are connected by an internal chain, so they work in tandem.) The carrier tape should slide in the track freely but not loosely, and advance easily without binding, but also without too much lateral play in the track. > To make the tape track narrower, turn the knob clockwise. > To make the tape track wider, turn the knob counterclockwise. 4. At this point, leave the tape track a little wider than necessary and do the following procedure, "Loading the Carrier Tape." 5. When the carrier tape has been loaded and the adjustment is correct, retighten the locking knob by turning it clockwise.

Loading the Carrier Tape

To load the carrier tape: 1. Feed the leading end of the carrier tape (the leader) toward the sealing tape guide, making sure that the edge of the tape is under the guide at the side of the track (Figure 2-7).
Figure 2-7: Carrier Tape Under Guide At Top Supply End of Track
2. Continue feeding the carrier tape leader under the sealing heads. The sealing heads should be raised above the level of the carrier tape at this point. 3. When the carrier tape leader in the track reaches the pressure roller assembly, raise the pressure roller arm with your finger. Slide the keeper pin into the pressure roller block assembly to hold it in the raised position while you feed the carrier tape along the track underneath (Figure 2-8).

8. Use light pressure or heat to attach the sealing tape to the carrier tape. CAUTION: Do not use adhesive tape on the carrier tape, as it contains static electricity and can ruin the static-free condition of the carrier tape. 9. Feed the sealing tape under the guide block assembly (Figure 2-20). Toggling the RUN switch, advance the tape until approximately five inches of sealing tape extends past the sealing heads. The sealing tape should now be in between the inner set of grooves on the guide block.
Figure 2-20: Sealing Tape Threaded Under Guide Block

The information in this section does not apply to Model 1005 tapers, as they do not have heat seal heads. Two adjustments may need to be done for a pair of heat seal heads: lateral alignment and downward pressure. Correct lateral alignment assures that the seal heads are on the sealing edges of the tape; correct pressure balances the degree of heat needed to seal without tape damage.
Adjusting Lateral Position

If your taper is equipped with heat seal heads, use this procedure to align the lateral position of each head separately. To align lateral position of heat seal heads: 1. Make sure the heaters are off and the thermal heads are cool. There are two readouts for each heater controller display. The top line is the present value
01/2010

Chapter 2: Setup
(PV) and the bottom line is the set value (SV). Set the bottom line to 0 degrees (see "Setting Temperature for Heat Seal Heads" on page 2-16 for instructions), and wait until the sealing head is at ambient room temperature. 2. Remove the seal head closest to you (the front seal head). Use a #10 size hex wrench and remove the seal head adjustment screw. Remove the seal head and place it aside. 3. Loosen the adjustment screw on the back seal head. Adjust the head laterally so that it is directly over the back edge of the sealing tape. 4. Manually engage the back seal head and confirm that the edge of the seal head is aligned with the back of the sealing tape. Make sure that the track holes on the carrier tape are not blocked by the sealing tape. 5. With the seal head engaged, tighten the adjustment screw. 6. Repeat this process with the front sealing head. Adjustment screw
Figure 2-21: Heat Seal Head with Lateral Adjustment Screw
7. Once both heads are aligned, turn the heat to the sealing heads back on. Set the bottom line (the Set Value) on both heaters to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Wait until the top line (the Present Value) reads 300. WARNING! Do not touch the heat seal heads directly when the heat is turned on. 8. After the sealing heads have warmed up, check the seal on the sealing tape: Toggle the SEAL switch for 3 to 5 seconds to engage both seal heads. Then toggle the RUN switch to advance the carrier tape and inspect the seal.

9. Run the carrier tape for several pockets with the seal heads engaged. NOTE: You may need to practice this adjustment a few times by running the machine briefly at the start of a job and inspecting the seal for quality.
Figure 2-22: Example of Good Tape Seal

To balance the heat temperature with the pressure applied, you may want to adjust the pressure of the heat seal heads. To adjust pressure of heat seal heads: If more pressure is needed to allow a lower heating temperature, add a heavier weight to the counterweight bar (Figure 2-23).

Setting Temperature for Heat Seal Heads

The information in this section applies to Model 1010 tapers equipped with heat seal heads.This section does not apply to Model 1005 tapers, as they do not have heat seal heads. The orange temperature readouts in the lower SV (Set Value) display are the desired temperatures. The green temperature readouts in the upper PV (Present Value) display are the actual or current temperatures. The front sealing head is the one nearest you as you stand in front of the handler. The heaters have been factory-preset to either Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on your needs. You can confirm the setting by the display when the taper is first turned on and the heater display is powering up. For example, Figure 2-24 shows the left initial display set to Fahrenheit and the right initial display set to Celsius. (Such a dual setting is not recommended; it is just shown for illustration purposes only.)

In Figure 2-25, the back heat seal head has been set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and the current temperature is 347 degrees Fahrenheit. When the seal head is heating, the green LED light to the left of the Set Value display is on. When the present temperature is stable, the orange LED light to the left of the Present Value display is on. A general guideline may be to use somewhere around 275 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 135 to 165 degrees Celsius) for a heat seal. If in doubt, it is better to start with a lower temperature and test the result, then increase little by little as needed. A narrow carrier tape takes a lower temperature to prevent burning. To set the temperature: This example changes the set temperature from 0 degrees to 275 degrees. 1. Press the SET button on the lower left of the temperature control display (Figure 2-26). > The lower display blinks rapidly, indicating it is ready to be set.

Testing the Seal

To test the seal: 1. If you have a taper using thermal adhesive tape, wait a few minutes while the thermal sealing heads heat up to the set temperature. (The initial recommended setting is 275-325 degrees Fahrenheit, or 135-165 degrees Celsius.) Watch the two temperature control displays on the front of the control box to verify temperatures. See "Setting Temperature for Heat Seal Heads" on page 2-16. > Heating the heads to the desired temperature should not take more than 2 or 3 minutes. If heating takes longer, the set temperature may be too high. 2. For both pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) and thermal handlers, toggle the SEAL switch to ON and toggle the RUN switch to ON (or depress the hand/foot pedal) to advance the carrier tape in the track. > The carrier tape and sealing tape are sealed and pulled through the sealing assembly until you release the pedal. 3. Run enough tape through the sealing assembly to seal several empty pockets. Inspect the location and quality of the seal. Adjust tape speed and temperature.

Chapter Overview
This chapter discusses the following maintenance tasks and their frequency: Task Seal Head Maintenance Air Regulator Maintenance Checking Air Regulator Shutoff Valve Adjusting Air Pressure on the Regulator Checking the Moisture/Dirt Trap in the Air Regulator Solenoid Maintenance Recommended Frequency As needed As needed Monthly As needed Weekly As needed Page 4-1 4-3 4-3 4-4 4-4 4-7
Preventive maintenance on the Model 1010 is fairly simple. Following this schedule will help to assure your Model 1010 handler will continue to perform properly. CAUTION: Always power off the system before disconnecting any cables or doing any maintenance.
Seal Head Maintenance

If one of a pair of thermal seal heads is heating but the other is not, it is likely because it has become slightly unplugged. You may get wildly erratic readings or a display of all zeros (0000). Make sure each seal head is firmly plugged in. The front seal head is color-coded red; the back seal head is color-coded blue. Residue from the carrier tape and sealing tape gradually builds up on the sealing heads, whether you use thermal or PSA (pressure-sensitive) heads. In time, this residue prevents a good tape seal. So when you notice any lowered quality of tape seal, clean the heads.
Pressure-Sensitive Heads
If the PSA rollers on your taper are brass (Figure 4-1, left), you can clean them with alcohol. Apply alcohol to a Q-tip and rub the Q-tip around the PSA rollers until the edges are shiny. However, if the PSA rollers on your taper are rubber (Figure 4-1, right), do not use alcohol or other cleaning fluids on them. Just replace them with new ones.

Heat Seal Heads

Disassemble the blades and clean them with very fine (320) sandpaper. First rub the blade edge on the flat sandpaper in the direction of the blade ends. When the edge is shiny, lay the blade flat on the sandpaper and rub it till each side is shiny, as well.
Figure 4-2: Heat Seal Head Blade

Air Regulator Maintenance
Checking Air Regulator Shutoff Valve

Your taper uses compressed air to lower the seal heads. This requires an air regulator. A high quality air regulator with coalescing air filter and shutoff valve is supplied on your handler. CAUTION: NEVER operate any Exatron equipment which requires compressed air without an approved air regulator and shutoff valve. The air regulator assembly includes an oil/water particulate trap which should be visually inspected on occasion. This regulator should be set at factory air pressure of 50 PSI.
Checking Air Regulator Shutoff Valve

Check the operation of the shutoff valve once a month. To check the operation of the shutoff valve: 1. Turn the valve OFF and verify that the air is indeed off. Turn the valve back ON. 2. Check the PSI setting. > Set the air regulator to 50 PSI. Adjustment valve On/off switch in OFF position On/off switch in ON position
Figure 4-3: Air Regulator Turned Off (Left), On (Right)
01/2010
4-3
If the air regulator is turned off, turn it on by turning the on/off knob one quarter-turn counterclockwise. You can leave this knob turned on except when you are checking its operation.
Adjusting Air Pressure on the Regulator

You can increase air pressure at the air regulator. To adjust the air pressure: 1. Pull up on the adjustment valve (the black knob above the display), and turn it. > Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure. > Turn it counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. 2. Push the knob back down to lock it when you have finished the adjustment.
Checking the Moisture/Dirt Trap in the Air Regulator

Check the moisture/dirt trap on the air regulator and the coalescing filter chamber. Verify that they are clean, empty and dry. There should be no oil and no water in either chamber. If they are dirty, physically disconnect the air regulator from the incoming air pressure supply, then clean or replace the trap and filter as needed. Excessive moisture and/or particulate buildup in the filter trap suggests the air supply to the system is too wet and/or dirty. CAUTION: Excessive moisture in the system can damage the air valves.
Figure 4-4: Air Regulator

01/2010
Various models of air regulators differ. Here is one procedure. To check or replace the air filter: 1. Unscrew the small black screw at the bottom of the filter chamber and remove. If water is present, there is water in the air lines and you have a problem that you must correct.
Figure 4-5: Small Black Screw Removed
2. Unscrew the metal casing.

5. Remove the white filter and clean or replace if necessary, and reassemble in reverse order. If you find it necessary to clean the trap and/or filter more often than once a month, you should correct the problem at your in-house air compressor. Check your manufacturers manual for the exact procedure necessary.

Solenoid Maintenance
Solenoid Maintenance
CAUTION: NEVER use oil or lubricant of any kind on solenoids.
Figure 4-9: Solenoid with Plunger on Back Side of Taper
Keep the solenoids as clean as possible. If the taper is used with devices that have excessive mold flash, the solenoids will require cleaning regularly. The frequency is dependent upon how much mold flash gets into the solenoids. When cleaning solenoids, do not put excessive stress on solenoid wiring. Check all wiring for signs of wear, exposed conditions, or broken connections. Replace as needed with identical type of wire: standard or flex, same gauge, insulation, color, etc. When cleaning solenoids, check the plungers to be sure there are no burrs of any kind on their shafts. Solenoid life is proportional to the handler environment and how often the solenoids are cleaned. We recommend that all solenoids be replaced every two million cycles as part of a good preventive maintenance program. Replace any bent or damaged solenoid return springs with new parts from the Exatron factory. Refer to the hardware specifications in the Parts List for the part numbers of all solenoids and springs in your handler.

Obtaining Replacement Parts

Spare parts can be obtained from Exatron. It has always been Exatron policy to support all the equipment we have ever manufactured. If the part is still available, or can be made, we will get it for you. In most cases, faxed requests and shipment of replacement parts orders are processed within twenty-four hours of receipt by Exatron. The following sections discuss things to note when ordering replacement parts.
Vacuum Generator Air Filter

The vacuum generator air filter must be replaced when it is visibly dirty or contaminated. The Exatron part number is PNE022-020.
Guide to the Parts List

This guide shows how to use the parts list to determine the exact part number of any custom part in your machine in order to replace it if necessary. The parts list contains those items which Exatron has custom manufactured. They include machined parts, sheet metal, printed circuit boards, cables, and standard vendor parts which have been modified by Exatron. A limited number of standard vendor parts are also listed here. The title shown at the top of the list indicates the type of parts list. This should match your system's hardware. The parts list may change as Exatron improves each model with each new generation. If you have different generations of the same model, the parts list will vary. Whenever possible, Exatron makes design improvements capable of being retrofitted to older versions of the same model. The date on the parts list indicates the date of the last revision of the list, not necessarily the last revision of the system hardware. An explanation of the column categories in the parts list follows.
01/2010
5-1
Exatron (Part Number)

The first column contains the number assigned by Exatron to a specific part; for example, 8000-D14 or PET-R44. The part number usually has two sections or number/letter sets. The first set of alphanumeric characters (e.g. 1900, 8000, PET, TAPE) indicates the model number of the system for which the part was originally designed. We use parts from different models to lower inventory costs and to speed the design of custom handlers. The next three alphanumeric characters (e.g. 906, C06, P14) are simply the numerical count of the part as it was designed. These are the three characters that are stamped or laser marked onto most machined parts. Exatron occasionally uses additional letters or numbers to indicate special features. We use R and L to specify right and left hand parts. AM or HR will indicate parts for Ambient Machines or Hot Rails. We use 62 or 75 to indicate specific sizes of solenoid plungers. There are other special notations that may be used as part of our numbering system and that may change with time. Please contact the Exatron factory for assistance with any questions regarding special letters or numbers attached to part numbers.
Part Quantity Columns

The next two or three columns indicate the quantity of the specific part used in the manufacture of this system. This information may be helpful in determining the correct part number and is used to build an assembly kit when your system was originally built.
Manual
Each row that has a 1 in this column has a corresponding wiring print that you can find in your manual. The print is identified by the part number.
Description
This is the name assigned to the part. In most cases, this description will easily define the part you wish to locate. Please include this description when ordering replacement parts.
Assembly
This column indicates which major system sub-assembly the part belongs to. In most cases, the "Assembly" can be ordered as a complete replacement part.
Size
These are dimensions in inches. The dimesions are listed left to right from smallest to largest: A x B x C. This is the starting size of the part prior to being machined.

Figure 5-1: Dimensions Listed From Smallest to Largest
Imagine a cube drawn around a part you are trying to identify. The dimensions of this cube can be checked against this size dimension and may be of assistance in determining a required part number. When the parts list indicates another Exatron part number in the size column, then the part was made by modifying an existing Exatron part. The modification is required for this handler only. When ordering replacement parts, be sure to use the part number and not the size. If the size column contains SEE PRINT, then the part is made from sheet metal, a PC board, or is something which is not made from a solid cube of material.
Finish
This column designates the finish used on the part. The following list is in alphabetic order. ALODINE: A non-anodic protective coating, a microscopic thin film commonly prescribed on aluminum to provide increased corrosion resistance and impose desired electrical resistance characteristics. BLACK: Black anodizing. BLUE: Blue anodizing. CLEAR: Clear anodizing, silver in color. HCR: Non-conductive, hard finish, dark green in color. NEDOX: Conductive, hard finish, silver in color, that eliminates static build-up and provides good electrical conductivity. Aluminum parts coated with nedox exhibit the hardness of steel without the weight. The surface protects against abrasive wear and corrosion. The dry-lubricated, non-stick surface also reduces friction of moving or sliding parts. NICKEL: Bright nickel plating, silver-chrome in color. NONE: No finish, natural material. PAINT: Painted part, colors may be beige, black or blue. RED: Red anodizing.
