Nordson YESTECH to Demo Dual-Sided PTH AOI at IPC APEX EXPO
January 22, 2019 | Nordson YESTECHEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson YESTECH, a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation and a leading supplier of automated optical and conformal coat inspection systems for the electronics industry, will feature the latest revision of the FX-942 dual sided automated optical inspection (AOI) system for solder and plated through-hole (PTH) applications at the IPC APEX EXPO 2019 in San Diego, California. During the exhibition, Nordson YESTECH will conduct live demonstrations in the booth of their complete line of AOI and conformal coat inspection (ACI) systems.
Nordson YESTECH’s FX-942 dual sided AOI system is ideally suited to inspect the unique challenges of plated through hole (PTH) assemblies, offering full defect coverage, inspecting solder joints and verifying correct assembly. The FX-942 ideally complements Nordson SELECT’s Selective Soldering systems providing inspection capabilities for demanding soldering applications.
The FX-942 saves valuable inspection time by providing high-speed automated inspection of solder and lead defects, component presence and position, correct part, polarity and through-hole parts featuring:
- Dual sided imaging with full travel imaging sensors
- 1 vertical and 4 optional angle cameras per side
- Up to 100 mm clearance
- High speed inspection and transfer
- High defect coverage / low false failure
- Picture in Picture (P-in-P) feature
- MES / Industry 4.0 compatible
Programming the FX-942 is fast and intuitive. Operators typically take less than 30 minutes to create a complete inspection program including solder inspection. The FX-942 utilizes a
standard package library to simplify training and ensure program portability across manufacturing lines.
“We are excited to showcase our latest inspection solutions for 2019 at Apex,” said Don Miller, Nordson YESTECH general manager. “This is the ideal venue to meet with our valued customers and discuss our latest advancements in optical, X-ray and acoustic inspection technologies.”

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
