Take Your Rework to the Next Level with Auto Align from VJ Electronix at APEX
December 13, 2022 | VJ ElectronixEstimated reading time: 1 minute
VJ Electronix, Inc., the leader in rework technologies and global provider of advanced X-ray inspection and component counting systems, will exhibit at the 2023 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Jan. 24-26, 2023 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. The company will demonstrate the Summit 1800i rework system and the Summit 2200i rework with new Auto Align in Booth #1507.
The Summit 2200i is a high precision, fully automatic system for medium-sized SMD assemblies. The Summit 2200i is capable of handling boards up to 22"x30” and components as small as 01005, and requires minimal operator intervention. The new automatic alignment allows for alignment of components with no operator intervention required.
The latest in the Summit 1800 family, the most installed rework system in the world, the Summit 1800i is capable of handling boards up to 22"x30” and components as small as 01005. The high precision, semi-automatic system is ideal for everything from small to large-sized SMD assemblies.
Built with easy-to-use 1-2-3-GO software, operation of this rework system is simple and intuitive. Efficient convection heating provides high thermal throughput, uniformity and a repeatable rework process. Automatic non-contact site scavenging safely removes residual solder, eliminating potential for damage to pads and solder mask. Proprietary software provides product traceability, profile analysis and sharing of profiles between VJE systems.

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.
