BTU to Demo New Dual Chamber Reflow Oven and Industry 4.0 Advances at NEPCON China 2017
March 17, 2017 | BTU International, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing and alternative energy markets, will exhibit in 1E43 at NEPCON China, scheduled to take place April 25-27, 2017 at the Shanghai World EXPO Exhibition & Convention Center. BTU will showcase the new PYRAMAX ZeroTurn Dual Chamber system and WINCON connected factory interface. The booth will also feature a PYRAMAX 150N.
The PYRAMAX ZeroTurn is designed for high volume electronics manufacturers who must also manage process mix and are dissatisfied with the poor process separation of other dual chamber machines. The true dual chamber machine eliminates turnaround/waiting time when switching thermal profiles. Unlike the competition, the ZeroTurn has the industry’s best thermal isolation between chambers, allowing for precise process control and unaffected thermal uniformity.
BTU also is responsible for several recent advances that support Industry 4.0. These technologies include line control and communications, recipe development and energy savings software solutions.
WINCON is the industry’s most powerful oven control system, with custom MES solutions, true plug-and-play interoperability, and easy integration with OT/IT systems. The interface includes BTU’s RecipePro recipe generation tool and Energy Pilot Software.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
EV Group Achieves Breakthrough in Hybrid Bonding Overlay Control for Chiplet Integration
09/12/2025 | EV GroupEV Group (EVG), a leading provider of innovative process solutions and expertise serving leading-edge and future semiconductor designs and chip integration schemes, today unveiled the EVG®40 D2W—the first dedicated die-to-wafer overlay metrology platform to deliver 100 percent die overlay measurement on 300-mm wafers at high precision and speeds needed for production environments. With up to 15X higher throughput than EVG’s industry benchmark EVG®40 NT2 system designed for hybrid wafer bonding metrology, the new EVG40 D2W enables chipmakers to verify die placement accuracy and take rapid corrective action, improving process control and yield in high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
Integrating Uniplate PLBCu6 With the Digital Factory Suite
09/12/2025 | Giovanni Obino and Andreas Schatz, MKS' AtotechPrinted circuit board manufacturing is rapidly changing, driven by miniaturization, stringent reliability requirements, and growing pressure for sustainable production. Meeting these challenges requires more than incremental improvements; it demands a combination of precise equipment and real-time process intelligence. The pairing of Uniplate® PLBCu6 with the Digital Factory Suite (DFS) demonstrates how hardware and software can work together to create more responsive, resource-efficient manufacturing.
