Absolute EMS is the West Coast Demo Center for Sasinno Selective Solder
July 25, 2022 | Absolute EMS, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Absolute EMS, Inc., an award-winning EMS provider of turnkey and consignment manufacturing services, has procured an ANT-i1 selective soldering machine from Sasinno. Because of the quality that the ANT-i1 provides and because Absolute EMS appreciates its partnership with Sasinno, it has now been designated as Sasinno’s West Coast Showroom.
“Our partnership with Sasinno is such that if they wish to bring a guest into the facility, we will provide a technical escort to demonstrate and share our experience with their equipment,” stated Doug Dow, COO. “In return, they keep us abreast of their new technologies and provide us with exceptional support. This successful relationship provides benefits to both parties as well as to potential customers.”
The ANT-i1 enables Absolute EMS to reduce assembly time by eliminating hand soldering, and most importantly, maintaining perfect soldering quality. The system complements the tight tolerances and demanding needs of the company’s customer base.
The ANT-i1 is a compact selective soldering machine with a small footprint of 990 x 1308 mm that features a drop jet flux, bottom preheating and a mechanical selective soldering pump. The system comes standard with Windows 10, a simple-to-use but comprehensive software that quickly and efficiently locates a fluxing/soldering path, allowing fluxing speed, soldering speed, solder height and dwell time to be edited. Also, all flux types, solder types and solder nozzle types can be recorded for future repeat production, and all parameters related to stable soldering quality are monitored, including N2 pressure, N2 flow, purity and more. Generally, this software provides a fully controllable environment for a stable soldering quality with repeatability.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
