SEHO Focuses on 100% Process Control
April 17, 2017 | SEHO Systems GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
SEHO Systems GmbH will focus on automatic process control in Hall 4, Stand 129 at the upcoming SMT/Hybrid/Packaging show, scheduled to take place May 16-18, 2017 at the Messe in Nuremberg, Germany. The selective soldering system SEHO SelectLine-C has been even further optimized.
SEHO will introduce its new cross sensor at the exhibition that takes over several functions. On the one hand, the wave height is precisely controlled. The measurement is made touchless directly at the solder nozzle and it is fully independent from the solder alloy used. In addition, the cross sensor is also used for automatic tool measurement: diameter, height and mounting position of the solder nozzle are automatically controlled, thus excluding potential operator errors.
Also new, being introduced for the first time, is an automatic nitrogen flow quantity control.
SEHO is the only manufacturer worldwide which offers the opportunity to integrate additional processes directly into its selective soldering systems. This includes, for example, a brush system for solder joint cleaning or an AOI system for automatic detection of soldering defects. The benefits are obvious: no additional floor space is required in the production area. At the same time production costs will be reduced as the entire board handling is performed by the axes systems that are integrated in the selective soldering machine anyway.
By adding an intelligent handling concept from SEHO, assemblies that have been identified as defective can automatically be removed from the production line.
The new process control functions ideally supplement already existing features such as flux quantity monitoring, monitoring of the nitrogen quality or the automatic position and z-height correction thus ensuring a 100 % process control.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
