Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

Nordson Test and Inspection will Exhibit during 2021 IPC APEX Virtual EXPO
March 5, 2021 | Nordson CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson Test and Inspection will exhibit at the Virtual IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place March 9-11, 2021 online at www.ipcapexexpo.org. Visit the “booth” here to learn more about Nordson’s comprehensive range of Test and Inspection systems including:
DAGE Assure Flex Automation
The new generation of component counting. Assure Flex Automation is the fully automatic, operator free reel counting solution. Tailored to your specific needs, a broad spectrum of loading and unloading options are available for high throughput stand-alone operation. Assure Flex can also be integrated into a wide range of high capacity storage systems.
Assure Flex is the complete counting solution for every workflow, from walk up operator loading to inline operator free. Assure Flex has an integrated conveyor and can be easily connected to the modules of the Assure Flex Series.
MATRIX X Series
The X series is MATRIX’s high-speed AXI platform. It comes with linear drives for the table axes and detector axes. This motion system guarantees very high speed and the utmost accuracy for positioning.
It is available with the SMT setup:
- 130kV, 40W sealed tube
- 14bit FPD with 50µm pixel pitch
The X series machines feature the following configurations/imaging techniques:
- X2: 2D + SFT
- X2.5: 2D + off-axis (2.5D) + SFT
- X3: 2D + off-axis (2.5D) + Planar CT (3D) + SFT
This platform features the Nordson Planar CT, which was released in October 2020, providing increased slice quality for 3D inspection and decreased cycle time.
The maximum resolution with the X series machines is 3µm, making it the perfect choice for solder joint inspection, for the analysis of the following:
- BGAs
- PTH/THT
- Void
- QFN
- QFP
SONOSCAN Gen7 C-SAM The Gen7 C-SAM inspection system is the latest generation in Acoustic Micro Imaging. The Gen7 delivers the most advanced hardware ever available allowing new features and analysis that can now be completed faster than ever before.
Advanced features such as PolyGate, SonoSimulator, Virtual Rescanning Mode (VRM) and Frequency Domain Imaging (FDI) add value and confidence. With its large, easy access illuminated scanning area, the Gen7 has the capability to efficiently scan everything from a small part up to 350mm sized parts.
YESTECH LX-1000 Large Area In-line AOI The LX-1000 automated optical inspection system offers high-speed PCB assembly inspection with exceptional defect coverage, inspecting solder joints and verifying correct part assembly, enabling users to improve quality and increase throughput.
- Single or dual sided imaging with full travel imaging sensors
- 630mm x 630mm large inspection area
- Optional 3D and/or 2D automated inspection
- Up to 100 mm clearance
- Heavy duty conveyor options for samples to 15kg
- High defect coverage / low false failure rate
- MES / Industry 4.0 compatible
The Nordson Test and Inspection team looks forward to welcoming visitors to its “virtual” booth and answering any questions about how its market-leading systems can support your business.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
