Current IssueSoldering Technologies
Soldering is the heartbeat of assembly, and new developments are taking place to match the rest of the innovation in electronics. There are tried-and-true technologies for soldering. But new challenges in packaging, materials, and sustainability may be putting this key step in flux.
The Rise of Data
Analytics is a given in this industry, but the threshold is changing. If you think you're too small to invest in analytics, you may need to reconsider. So how do you do analytics better? What are the new tools, and how do you get started?
Counterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend is going to be stopping any time soon. What might crop up in the near future?

VJ Electronix Launches Rework System for Servers, Backplanes & Extra Large Boards
March 28, 2023 | 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, announced the launch of its LT120 Rework System. Carrying on the Summit line of highly robust systems, the new LT120 is positioned to be able to work with very large BGA components on large PCBs.
Alignment of large components has always been a challenge during rework. The ability to see the entire component provides confidence for the rework operator. Components larger than 50 mm are extremely expensive, and often low in supply. Ultra-high resolution in the LT120 vision system provides the accuracy needed to deliver reliable rework for these very high value components.
The LT120 is the best choice for extra large servers, backplanes and boards and/or very large component applications. It utilizes a new vision system with an increased field of view for aligning these very large BGAs – a growing trend in the market.
Originally designed to allow OEMs to build prototype assemblies with components larger than pick-and-place systems could handle, the LT120 allows fast and accurate alignment of BGAs and other packages up to 120 mm x 120 mm. The intuitive alignment GUI allows the user to quickly identify the component, large or small, then zoom in to the corners for a simplified, yet accurate alignment; increasing system throughput.

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.
