Essemtec to Demo All-in-One Jetting/Placement System at SMTAI 2017
August 17, 2017 | EssemtecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Essemtec will demonstrate its new FOX2 system, which combines jetting of solder paste or glue and placement in a single machine, at the SMTA International 2017, which is scheduled to take place September 19-20, 2017 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Essemtec will be in Booth 207.
FOX2 has a machine footprint of just 1m2 and can accept PCB sizes up to 16 x 12". Components with sizes from 01005 up to 1.3 x 3.1" are placed. The machine achieves 10,800 cph (IPC9850) with the release of ePLACE 23 and still remains 50 µm accuracy, 3 sigma with a two nozzle head.
The new version is based on the original award-winning platform, which is the first machine in its class with linear motors and a mineral cast frame, providing excellent speed, stability, accuracy, and making it perfectly suited for use in small to medium production environments.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
