Scienscope Heads to Canada for the First Time for EPTECH Vancouver
May 24, 2023 | Scienscope InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Scienscope International, a leading supplier of cabinet-style micro-focus X-ray systems in the United States, is excited to announce its first-ever appearance at a tradeshow in Canada. The company looks forward to discussing its array of innovative component solutions and advanced X-ray inspection systems at EPTECH Vancouver, scheduled for Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Scienscope will showcase its latest innovations at the event, including the AXC-800III X-ray component counter, IMS-100 (T) inventory management system, and the new Stencil Rack.
The new Smart Stencil Rack has been engineered to enhance the efficiency of storing and retrieving solder stencils. With a retrieval or storage time of a few seconds per stencil, this innovative system minimizes operators’ time locating the appropriate position for their stencil. The Smart Stencil Rack has been meticulously designed to accommodate stencil sizes from 23”x23” to 29”x29” with spacing to accommodate stencils with widths of 5mm, 20mm, and 40mm.
The AXC-800III is an award-winning device that utilizes AI algorithms and X-ray technology to count components inside reels with an accuracy rate of 99.9%. Additionally, the AXC-800III can upload results to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in real-time, generating new labels automatically as reels are removed from the machine, simplifying the labeling process, and ensuring accurate inventory management.
The IMS-100 (T) is a high-resolution barcode camera capable of reading and storing information for up to four 7", one 13", and one 15" reel. The system helps automate your incoming process and makes the relabeling process safe and easy, helping minimize human error.
With these cutting-edge solutions, Scienscope is dedicated to improving quality control and efficiency in the electronics manufacturing industry. Be sure to visit Scienscope at EPTECH Vancouver to learn more.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
