Ascentech to Showcase Latest Solutions at SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum
July 5, 2017 | AscentechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ascentech, LLC will exhibit and demonstrate its Optilia, Inspectis, and GEN3 test and process optimization instruments and solutions at the upcoming SMTA Ohio Expo & Tech Forum, which will be held July 13, 2017, at the Embassy Suites Cleveland Rockside in Independence (Cleveland), Ohio.
Ascentech will demonstrate the new INSPECTIS high definition optical inspection system, a complementary partner to the highly-flexible Optilia AB line of inspection systems. INSPECTIS is a plug and play, reliable, cost-effective high-definition camera microscope. It is designed for optical inspection, quality control, PCB inspection, non-contact measurements, and much more in a competitively-priced, all-in-one ergonomic package now offered by Inspectis Optical Systems AB of Stockholm, Sweden.
Other exhibited products will include the award-winning GENSONIC Ultra-Sonic Stencil Cleaner and GEN3 Systems Solder Saver, a solder/dross separation tool. The Gensonic is a manually-operated, ultrasonic transducer unit for cleaning stencils used in printing solder pastes and adhesives. It can be used either directly on the printer or at a separate cleaning station.
The GEN3 Solder Saver is a handheld, compact system for separating dross from good solder. The unit easily reduces hardened dross material to oxide powder, making it possible to remove the dross oxide waste from the solder pot, leaving valuable solder in the pot.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
