MIRTEC, a ‘Leading Global Supplier’ of Technologically Advanced 3D Inspection Systems to the Electronics Manufacturing Industry, is pleased to announce that CE3 Electronics Inc., a World-Class EMS provider specializing in advanced printed circuit board assembly and complex cable and wire harness manufacturing, has selected MIRTEC as their 3D AOI partner with the purchase of an MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine.
“CE3 Electronics Inc. is a World-Class Electronics Manufacturing Services provider specializing in advanced printed circuit board assembly and complex cable and wire harness manufacturing. Our company continually invests in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to ensure that our clients consistently receive the highest quality PCB assemblies. As part of our commitment to Continuous Quality Improvement, CE3 recently purchased a new MIRTEC MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI machine. I am pleased to report that our operators and inspectors are extremely impressed with the superior performance and accuracy of this system. MIRTEC’s revolutionary OMNI-VISION® 3D Inspection Technology drastically reduces the number of false calls and has enabled us to virtually eliminate visual solder inspection. The comprehensive SPC analysis software is easy to use and provides actionable process information to our quality personnel. CE3 would highly recommend MIRTEC to any company considering the purchase of a 3D AOI machine”, stated Shawn Aucoin, Engineering Manager, CE3 Electronics Inc.
“Electronic Manufacturers 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 Corp. “An overwhelming number of OEM and EMS providers are relying upon MIRTEC 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment to help increase profitability by improving production yields and reducing costly rework. We are extremely pleased to have been awarded CE3’s 3D AOI business. It is truly a pleasure to continue our long-standing partnership with the outstanding team at CE3.”
MIRTEC’s award-winning MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machines are configured with the company’s exclusive OMNI-VISION® 3D Inspection Technology which combines a 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera System with MIRTEC’s revolutionary Digital Tri-Frequency Moiré 3D Technology to provide precision inspection of SMT devices on finished PCB assemblies. This proprietary system yields precise height measurement used to detect lifted component and lifted lead defects as well as 3D solder fillet inspection post reflow. Fully configured the MV-6 OMNI machine features four (4) 10 Mega Pixel Side-View Cameras in addition to the 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Top-Down Camera and an Eight (8) Phase COLOR Lighting System.

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.
