ACE Production Technologies, a Nordson SELECT company, and a leading supplier of selective soldering systems, is pleased to announce that registration is now open and seats are available for its upcoming introductory selective soldering workshop.
This introductory workshop will be held March 14-15, 2017 at ACE's Spokane Valley, Washington facility. This comprehensive two-day workshop is designed to educate and enhance an attendee's working knowledge of the overall selective soldering process.
Who Should Attend
- Process Engineers
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Production Technicians
- Quality Personnel
What You Will Learn
- How to improve your selective soldering effectiveness
- Programming tips and tricks
- How to reduce selective soldering defects
- Advanced process troubleshooting techniques
- How to reduce post-solder rework and increase yields
The classroom session focuses on the technical aspects of the selective soldering process and describes the process variables to enhance the flexibility, reliability and quality provided by all types of selective soldering equipment. Your questions about using a selective solder process, and differences in process parameters when working with tin-lead and lead-free solder alloys will be covered in detail. Topics Include:
- Fundamentals of through-hole soldering
- Solderability issues
- Lead-free and tin-lead solder alloys
- Flux application and no-clean processing
- Preheating and thermal performance
- Design guidelines and quality measurement
- Process troubleshooting guidelines
- Advanced process optimization techniques
This workshop entitled "Mastering Selective Soldering Processing and Manufacturability" features a combination of classroom curriculum and hands-on training that is designed to educate and enhance an attendee’s working knowledge of the overall selective soldering process. The classroom portion of the workshop will be presented by well-known process expert Bob Klenke, Principal Consultant with ITM Consulting. He has more than 15 years of direct hands-on experience with selective soldering technology and is a frequent instructor for selective soldering, wave soldering and X-ray inspection workshops at APEX and SMTA International conferences.
The hands-on portion of the workshop will be taught by the expert staff members in the ACE application lab. During the hands-on portion attendees will assemble, program, selective solder and evaluate a specially designed test board for 100% plated through-hole fill using X-ray inspection.
Attendees are encouraged to attend a third day for additional hands-on training and are invited to bring their most challenging circuit board assemblies from their workplace for additional testing and detailed application analysis.
More than 225 individuals from over 107 different companies have attended previous ACE selective soldering workshops including a 2-day introductory workshop and a 2-day advanced workshop. These highly successful workshops feature open communications and a continuous information steam that has helped attendees advance their skills, techniques and methods involved with the selective soldering process.
This highly acclaimed workshop features a combination of classroom and hands-on curriculum that significantly compresses the learning curve for those new to the selective soldering process or those who wish to advance their in-depth knowledge.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
