Technica USA to Present Full Line of Products at IPC APEX Expo
February 6, 2017 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Technica USA plans to present their full line of material and equipment products for both the PCB fabrication and SMT segments of their business at the 2017 IPC APEX Expo in booth #3449.
In the PCB fabrication portion of their booth, Technica will be featuring Chime Ball Technolgy’s (CBT) latest in Maskless Lithography technology, the Raptor 7000 Series. This technology is already being purchased and placed within the United States. A demonstration on the attributes of this technology will be conducted throughout the expo. In addition, they will be featuring three new products recently released by Elite Materials Company (EMC). These are the halogen free EM890 and the halogenated EM891 ultra high speed materials for 100 and 200GbE applications, as well as the EM 370Z, a halogen free very low CTE material for automotive and EV/HEV applications. Technica will also be promoting a variety of leading products from their other PCB fab partners including Fuji Film, Grace Electron, RBP Chemicals, Electra Polymers, Elga and Hitachi Dry Film, Kyocera Precision Tools, Wise Process Equipment, PAL, Teknek, CJI Process Systems, DMP Waste & Water Treatment Systems and Shurloc Fabric Systems.
On the SMT side of the booth, Technica will be featuring more equipment than in previous years. They will again be featuring the E by SIPLACE placement equipment from ASM Assembly Systems. The introduction of this equipment last year was welcomed with great success and is anticipated to have even greater success in 2017. This year, Technica will introduce the new E by DEK, a low-cost screen printer for solder paste applications from ASM. The combination of the E by SIPLACE and the E by DEK will provide mid volume manufacturers with unprecedented performance and flexibility at an affordable cost. They will also be demonstrating the new Teknek SMT surface cleaner along with a double-sided laser marking unit and a standard in line conveyor from YJ Link, a company offering a complete line of handling equipment for PCB assembly.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. 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
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
