Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

MIRTEC Awards Bentec ‘Best Sales Performance 2020-2021’
May 13, 2022 | MirtecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Bentec is pleased to announce they have been awarded the “Best Sales Performance 2020-2021” from MIRTEC Corp. The award is for Bentec’s success in selling the industry-leading MIRTEC inspection systems to their customers in the UK and Ireland, where they now boast an installed base of over 150 installations.
Most of Bentec’s customers realise the management and engineers were the same team which started and developed MIRTEC Europe across the European continent, Middle East, India, and South Africa. As such, this unique level of experience is a welcome benefit to customers wishing to employ leading technology inspection solutions with expertise advice and support.
“We are extremely proud of this award, as the quality of MIRTEC’s global distributors is second to none. For us to have had such a successful result is testament to our team, and the unrivalled technological advantages which MIRTEC supplies with their inspection equipment,” stated David Bennett, Managing Director of Bentec Ltd.
One area which Bentec has been particularly successful with is their “Inspection Island” where a single good/no-good loader-unloader is able to present the boards to the AOI, and then receive them back the same way whilst sorting them into the good/no-good magazines. With the removal of a dedicated operator in a time when staff shortages and costs are a factor, this has become a popular solution. Bentec have ordered this configuration for their demonstration centre in the UK, so existing and potential customers can see it in operation for themselves.
Testimonial
"Advertising in PCB007 Magazine has been a great way to showcase our bare board testers to the right audience. The I-Connect007 team makes the process smooth and professional. We’re proud to be featured in such a trusted publication."

Customers want more than a quote. They’re not simply buying boards; they’re buying understanding, so engineering is now the front line of customer trust, problem-solving, and long-term success.
