Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

SEHO Brings the LeanSelect and GoWave to ElectronTechExpo
March 7, 2019 | SEHO Systems GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
SEHO Systems GmbH will exhibit at the ElectronTechExpo, scheduled to take place April 15-17, 2019 in Moscow, Russia. SEHO’s representative Global Engineering will display the LeanSelect and GoWave in Pavilion 3, Hall 13, Booth # B535.
Electronic productions face new manufacturing challenges more and more frequently. In addition to high quality requirements at low production costs, there are an increasing number of product variants and flexible reactions to fluctuation in demand. The SEHO LeanSelect is particularly designed to meet these challenges, featuring the highest flexibility and outstanding return on investment.
The work stations of the LeanSelect are arranged in a counter-clockwise U-shape, thus consistently following the Lean Equipment Design Guidelines. While the entire process is fully automated, loading and unloading of assemblies is done manually on two separate conveyors. This allows processing of up to five carriers at the same time, ensuring highest productivity on a small footprint of only 2.5 m².
Provided with an electro-magnetic soldering unit, the system guarantees perfect and reproducible soldering results. Depending on the application, the LeanSelect can be used for both, flexible miniwave processes and product-specific multiwave soldering processes with high throughput. Quickly exchangeable solder nozzles and multi-nozzle tools ensure short change-over times.
The automatic ultrasonic cleaning function for nozzles is a particular highlight of the system and ensures maximum machine availability. Besides significantly longer lifetime of the solder nozzles, this unique feature provides an absolutely stable soldering process.
Sensors and software tools continuously monitor all process steps, thus providing 100 % automated process control. Depending on the application, even a PowerVision AOI system can be integrated, for solder joint inspection immediately after the soldering process.
The GoWave wave soldering system is a powerful soldering system for those just entering into mass-soldering operations. The system is suited for electronic productions with small or medium-sized volumes and also provides an economic solution for universities, schools and laboratories.
A special feature of this machine is its compact, but performance-oriented design. It therefore allows an economical, automatic wave soldering process at simultaneously low costs.
The design of the GoWave provides the same basic technology found in SEHO’s large wave soldering machines. Offering a fluxing module, an efficient and powerful preheater, an innovative soldering area and an up-to-date control, this system presents the finest soldering technology in its class.

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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
