Horizon Sales, the Midwest's most trusted source for electronics assembly and soldering equipment and supplies, has opened a new demo room and warehouse in Brighton, MI to show some of the latest equipment from its suppliers. The company recently held a PARMI ‘Tech Days’ event at the new demo room.
The PARMI SigmaX SPI inspection machine and the PARMI Xceed AOI inspection machine were both displayed during the event. Over the course of the three-day event, 12 companies attended and received hands-on demos from the PARMI application engineers and technical staff. These attendees were given the opportunity to have all their technical questions answered and see the machines in action.
PARMI senior sales management also was onsite during the event. Lunch and refreshments were served daily and attendees were lining up for the chance to view these high-performance laser-based inspection systems.
Both of these machines will be on display at the Brighton location for the next few months, as Horizon has had several more companies request appointments to see the equipment. The new warehouse also functions as a stocking location for Horizon Sales’ supply business.
In business for more than 25 years, Horizon supplies state-of-the-art equipment and supplies to its customers, helping them to achieve best-in-class status in their respective markets. Horizon Sales represents the mid-western states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania, Illinois, Eastern Iowa, Wisconsin and Florida.

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.
