NEOTech Invests in New Selective Wave Soldering Machines, Increasing Manufacturing Efficiency and Quality
May 18, 2022 | NEOTechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
NEOTech, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services and supply chain solutions for brand name OEMs in the industrial, medical and mil/aero markets, is excited to announce the acquisition of multiple new Pillarhouse Synchrodex Pro Selective Wave Soldering machines for several of its North American manufacturing facilities. Pillarhouse, a world leader in the selective soldering industry, offers a wide range of selective soldering machines for electronic manufacturing companies.
NEOTech is well known in the industry for its commitment to provide high-quality and high-reliability electronic manufacturing services with the continued investment in cutting-edge manufacturing equipment. With the procurement of additional Pillarhouse Selective Wave Soldering machines, NEOTech’s customers benefit from the increased efficiency of rapid soldering of higher-volume assemblies and increased quality with automated pinpoint accuracy for tight spacing between through-hole-components. The machines are individually programmed for each soldering point, to control flux volume and to set soldering time for each PCB assembly situation, ensuring a more reliable solder joint – which is vital for highly complex assemblies not suitable for conventional wave soldering systems.
“We have been utilizing selective wave soldering machines for many years; however, our entire organization is very excited about our new Pillarhouse Synchrodex Pro machines and the availability of the advanced soldering technology we can afford our customers for their very important products,” stated Emilio Ramirez, Global Vice President of Engineering for NEOTech. “We have successfully integrated the new machines into multiple electronic manufacturing lines throughout North America that will keep pace with the SMT lines, reduce through-hole component soldering time, and move completed PCBAs into testing and shipping much quicker.”
NEOTech’s goal is to successfully convert customers’ product technology into engineered products, providing the most capable supply base, manufacturing products with care and delivering them on time. The company is large enough to offer refined Tier 1 tools, processes and capabilities, yet small enough to provide individualized care and service. NEOTech provides tailored project-by-project services that focus on each customer’s individual, unique needs. The result is a true collaboration in which the customer’s needs are met – or exceeded – in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

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.
