optical control to Exhibit in Two Booths at JPCA Tokyo
May 2, 2019 | optical controlEstimated reading time: 1 minute
optical control GmbH & Co. KG is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at JPCA Tokyo, scheduled to take place June 5-7, 2019 at the Tokyo Big Site. The company will demonstrate the OC-SCAN CCX.3 component counter with automatic loading/unloading and offline station in the Alpha and Yamaha booths.
The CCX X-ray offers high speed combined with the best accuracy, and is capable of providing an ROI faster than any other machine on the market. The highlight of the CCX is – there are no libraries required or need for customer input to get started. It is as simple as plugging in the machine, and start counting. It is a true plug-and-play system that can X-ray ANY size reel in the same cycle time no matter type of component, or how full or empty it is.
The machine also can be configured for complete automation, including integrations into other sytems such as automated storage units. Whether this is done by software only, using a loading and unloading unit, or complete integration, is up to the customer in their steps toward industry 4.0.

Come Together: Tom Marktscheffel Used Data to Build CFX and a Global Factory Standard
10/27/2025 | Sandy Gentry, Community MagazineWhen Tom Marktscheffel, director of product management software solutions at ASMPT, looks back on his nearly three decades in electronics manufacturing, one word stands out: data. “Data is the new gold,” he says. Without it, automation, artificial intelligence, and the factory of the future are impossible. With it, the industry can move from manual, error-prone processes to smart, connected systems that make real-time decisions.

Driving Innovation: Mastering Panel Warpage
09/23/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationDuring the complex and multi-step process of PCB fabrication, a panel's flatness is constantly at risk. A host of factors can introduce warpage, bending, and unevenness, presenting a fundamental challenge to achieving high-precision results. This deformation (sometimes referred to as “bow and twist”), even on a microscopic scale, can lead to critical defects during subsequent stages, such as component surface mounting (e.g., tombstoning, solder opens) and the PCB's long-term functional reliability.

Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
