What is environmentally responsible and what does it mean to your process? We all want a stable and predictable assembly process, including cleaning. How can we know that we have one? What is the real outlook on cleaning in the industry? How does this impact providers in automotive? Aerospace? Energy? Healthcare? These are just some of the questions that will be answered.
The team will share many years of cleaning experience testing and advancing cleaning solutions for electronics manufacturers. “We’ve assembled the leaders in the industry to talk about the most important topics today and into the future for electronics manufacturing cleaning,” said Forsythe. “We won’t count the years of experience across the expert team supporting the ‘Cleaning Myth Busters Sessions’ at SMTA International, but I’m sure it’s more than 100 years combined.”
Process technicians and engineers are invited to attend and ask questions at the Myth Buster Sessions. Presenters will provide references to the latest papers and tips –and the latest information on what works and what does not work when it comes to cleaning in today’s low gap, high performance, and high demand market. There are many ‘myths’ about what works and what does not today. Now, SMTA International attendees will get the details as to why and what affects their unique situation. Watch for updates and details as the event gets closer.
