Altus Joins Koh Young at electronica
October 24, 2016 | altuEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Altus Group, distributor of capital equipment for the electronics assembly industry in the UK and Ireland will join Koh Young at electronica, the world leading trade fair for electronic components, systems and applications being held in Munich from 8-11 November (Hall 1 booth 358).
There will be a number of systems presented at the exhibition including the Zenith full 3D AOI System which measures the true profilometric shape of components, solder joints, patterns and even foreign material on assembled PCBs with patented 3-dimensional measurement, overcoming the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of traditional 2D AOI. As the first true 3D AOI system ever developed, Zenith uses 2D and 3D information for better visualisation of the components and solder joints allowing a true comparison with the IPC-A-610 standard for inspection.
Richard Booth, managing director at Altus, said "As the principle distributor for Koh Young in the UK and Ireland we are looking forward to joining them at Electronica. It gives us the perfect opportunity to meet with existing and new customers and to understand their requirements in AOI inspection.
"Exhibitions like electronica also help us to understand and learn about all the latest innovations within the industry and gives us the opportunity to meet potential new suppliers."

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.

Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
