P4Q USA Installs Third ACE Selective Soldering System in New Mexico
March 30, 2017 | ACE Production Technologies Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The KISS-101 selective soldering system has been installed at P4Q USA Inc.'s facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is the third selective soldering machine P4Q USA has ordered from ACE Production Technologies.
“The KISS-101 is a fully-configured selective soldering platform equipped with “Super Quick” processing speeds, heated nitrogen inerting system and automated wave height detection system,” said Kevin Valentine, sales and service manager-Americas, of ACE Production Technologies. “The KISS-101 comes standard with the ACE automated fiducial location and correction system providing single click fiducial teach capability, seamless fiducial recognition and true automated alignment and skew correction of the printed circuit board. In addition, the KISS-102 can be equipped with a dual solder nozzle pump assembly that allows two different sized solder nozzles to operate independently for greater flexibility and processing efficiency.”
Valentine added, “Other innovative features include the new SWAK-OS machine operating software which is a revolutionary graphics-based programming and editing machine control system that features fast program loading and program recall with minimal operator intervention. A major benefit of the SWAK-OS is the integrated board scanning function that automatically captures and saves an image of a printed circuit board to the selective soldering program.”
P4Q USA is an electronics manufacturing services firm specializing in electronics for renewable energy and transportation systems. P4Q is one of the largest producers of solar tracking controllers in the world. Tracking the sun creates powerful renewable energy sources allowing as much as 40% of solar light to be converted into green energy. The P4Q controller controls both photovoltaic and concentrated solar tracking mechanisms.

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.
