Pillarhouse International at Southern Manufacturing 2024
February 1, 2024 | Pillarhouse International LtdEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Pillarhouse International will once again be exhibiting at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2024, at Stand G125 of the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, from the 6th to the 8th of February 2024.
For over 40 years, Pillarhouse International has been designing and manufacturing specialist soldering equipment for the electronics industries, offering an extensive range of selective soldering solutions from low cost, flexible, standalone, bench top, entry-level systems, through to advanced, high-speed, integrated in-line production cells.
At Southern Manufacturing 2024, Pillarhouse will be exhibiting the upcoming Jade MKV handload system. Available later this year, in either a fixed table or rotary table configuration, the Jade MKV has a PCB handling size of 510mm x 460mm, with a programmable, adjustable nozzle pitch in the X axis. This platform has 6.8A stepper motors with built-in encoders, replacing the less powerful stepper and servo motor systems on our current index handload offerings.
The Jade MKV is controlled by a PC, through PillarCOMM.NET, a Windows based ‘Point & Click’ interface with PCB image display. Additionally, PillarCOMM.NET has an offline package which allows the operator to produce programs independently from the machine using Gerber data.
Speaking ahead of the exhibition, David Johnson, Sales Manager, said, “Southern Manufacturing remains Pillarhouse International’s priority in terms of domestic trade shows. We always look forward to connecting with the UK manufacturing market and we encourage everyone to visit us at Stand G125, to see our upcoming Jade MKV machine, as well as discuss their selective soldering needs.”

Podcast Review: On the Line With… Designing for Reality
05/09/2024 | Duane Benson, Positive Edge LLCAs a technologist, if I were forced to come up with just one recurring theme that I might call a professional “nemesis,” it would be the difference between theory and reality. A lot of technology we have at our disposal works well in theory but falls short when reality hits. That’s not the only reason I chose to listen to and review On the Line With… Designing for Reality, featuring a series of conversations with ASC Sunstone’s Matt Stevenson, but it certainly helped that the title caught my eye.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
