Absolute EMS, Inc. Partners with MIRTEC for Continuous Quality Improvement
March 10, 2020 | Absolute EMS, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Absolute EMS, Inc., a leading provider of turnkey and consignment manufacturing services, is pleased to announce that it has installed two new MIRTEC machines at their facility: an MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine, and an MS-11e 3D SPI Machine.
Absolute EMS is a leader in end-to-end electronic manufacturing services solutions that help its customers rapidly introduce innovative new technology by facilitating speed-to-market in their marketplace. Speed-to-market starts with engineering services, and extends into prototypes, pilots and then into production.
“MIRTEC’s reputation proceeds them, offering the highest level of customer service and the most advanced inspection technology available on the market,” commented Doug Dow, COO of Absolute EMS. “We at Absolute EMS are very excited to partner with MIRTEC, having installed two of their award-winning machines in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.”
The industry acclaimed MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine combines MIRTEC’s exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera Technology with their proprietary OMNI-VISION® 3D Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré Technology to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies. MIRTEC’s exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera System is designed and manufactured by MIRTEC for use with its complete product range of inspection equipment. MIRTEC’s proprietary Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré Technology, provides superior 3D inspection of SMT and through-hole devices up to 25mm tall. This award-winning technology yields precise height measurement data used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as solder volume post reflow. Fully configured the new MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI machines feature four (4) 10 Mega Pixel Side-View Cameras in addition to the 15 Mega Pixel Top-Down Camera.
MIRTEC’s award-winning MS-11e 3D SPI Machine is configured with an exclusive 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera System, providing enhanced image quality, superior accuracy and incredibly fast inspection rates. The MS-11e uses Dual Projection Shadow Free Moiré Phase Shift Imaging Technology to inspect solder paste depositions on PCBs post screen print for insufficient solder, excessive solder, shape deformity, shift of deposition and bridging. The MS-11e uses the same robust platform as MIRTEC’s MV-6 OMNI Series.
“Electronic manufacturers like Absolute EMS are becoming ever more selective in purchasing equipment that will add value to their business and provide them with a, much needed, edge in this highly competitive industry,” said Brian D’Amico, President of MIRTEC’s North American Sales and Service Division. “Our ultimate goal is to help our valued customers increase their profitability by improving production yields and reducing costly rework. We are extremely pleased to partner with Absolute EMS and are equally committed to their goal of continuous quality improvement. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship between our two organizations.”

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.
