Rehm Announces webinars on Soldering Processes and Networked Systems
September 21, 2022 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The start of autumn also heralds the latest webinar series from Rehm Thermal Systems. In October, the in-house experts will first talk about the advantages of vapour phase soldering before moving on to the topic of connectivity with communication interfaces in SMT production. Another webinar will cover the fundamentals of reflow soldering. The final event in December will be a live webinar on the reduction of void formation in vacuum soldering. The Rehm webinars give you the opportunity to refresh your own background knowledge and gain insight into the practical application of the various Rehm systems. You can register for the webinars online at https://www.rehm-group.com/en/news/dates.html using the registration link for the relevant date.
13.10.2022 / 9.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. CET
Live-Webinar: Vapor phase soldering (English)
Do you process large and heavy boards for which convection soldering is out of the question? Or do you need a system with which you can reliably carry out vacuum processes at any time? Then choose a Condenso series system that can be customised to your manufacturing environment. The Condenso series system versions can be integrated into a wide range of manufacturing environments. Whether it’s a batch operation, inline connection or continuous soldering, Rehm offers the highest degree of process reliability for all areas.
The German-language webinar on this topic will take place on October 12th at 9:00 a.m. CET.

Live-Webinar: Connectivity – Communication interfaces in SMT production (English)
Industry 4.0 is based on intelligent, digitally networked systems that enable largely self-organized and flexible production. Standardization and smart software solutions help to achieve this. “The Hermes Standard” (IPC-HERMES-9852) ensures that important assembly information is transmitted reliably, spontaneously, simply and completely from machine to machine and to higher-level systems. With the CFX interface (IPC-CFX), communication is network-based vertical and is used for data upload and download as well as data analysis. The combination of horizontal Hermes communication and vertical CFX communication is essential for the smart factory in the long term and represents a further step towards standardization.
The German-language webinar on this topic will take place on October 25th at 9:00 a.m. CET.

Live-Webinar: Reduction of void formation with vacuum (English)
Vacuum soldering significantly reduces gas bubbles in solder joints and has been proven for decades in contact heat and vapour phase soldering systems. But what does this mean with regard to convection soldering, the most widely used process with the highest throughput today? In the December webinar Rehm’s experts explain the possibilities of different vacuum soldering processes and show their respective limitations.
The German-language webinar on this topic will take place on November 30th at 9:00 a.m. CET.
Participation in these webinars is free of charge.
27.10.2022 / 9.30 a.m. CET
Live-Webinar: Fundamentals of reflow soldering (English)
In the first part of our basic seminars, we provide you with the theoretical basis for reflow soldering technology. We offer interesting lectures that optimally introduce you to the basics or open up a variety of opportunities to refresh knowledge and get ideas for innovative projects. Take advantage of the opportunity to get a comprehensive overview of manufacturing processes in the electronics industry and to talk to experts from the industry. Using the latest findings from research and development, our team will prepare interesting topics for you.
The duration of this webinar is 240 min. Participation costs € 295 per person.

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.
