January 31, 2020 | ASC InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ASC International, a leading global manufacturer of 3-D solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, today announced that it will exhibit at the IPC APEX EXPO, Booth 1537, on February 4-6, 2020 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA.
ASC International will provide live demonstrations of their industry leading SPI and AOI solutions. Product innovations will be highlighted by the LineMaster Fusion 3D offering the industry’s most cost effective inline 3D SPI solution. LineMaster DM is ASC’s top seller providing offline 3D SPI and AOI as a combination package - all wrapped up into a price point similar to single technology platforms. VisionPro AV862 provides a value packed AOI solution with all of the features needed for accurate and reliable defect detection. VisionPro M500 offering the industry’s standard for comprehensive true 3D bench top SPI.
“After 20 year of participation in the IPC APEX Expo shows, we are very proud and excited to kick off our new product release for 2020 in San Diego” stated Steve Arneson, National Business Manager. “ASC continues to advance our mainline products and the recent release of our LineMaster Fusion 3D is just another important addition to our product offering showing our commitment to our customer’s requests for accurate, reliable and affordable inspection solutions.”
The VisionPro and LineMaster series of inspection systems incorporate the most advanced, rapid 3D/2D sensor technologies coupled with a feature-rich, intuitive graphical user interface all packaged in a rugged, bench-top or stand-alone platform.

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.
