Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

ViTrox Americas Opens New State-of-the-Art Demo Lab in Hutto, Texas
June 27, 2024 | ViTroxEstimated reading time: 1 minute

ViTrox Americas Inc. is proud to announce the opening of its new demo lab in Hutto, Texas. This cutting-edge facility is now ready for demonstrations and evaluations, showcasing ViTrox's latest innovations in 3D inspection technology. The demo lab is designed to offer an immersive and hands-on experience, allowing customers to interact with ViTrox's latest innovations and understand how these solutions can enhance their quality control and inspection processes.
Sy Creed, Business Development Director at ViTrox Americas, expressed his enthusiasm about the new facility, stating, “We are thrilled to open our new demo lab in Hutto, Texas. This state-of-the-art facility will allow our customers to see the exceptional performance and capabilities of ViTrox’s inspection solutions firsthand. Our goal is to provide a space where customers can thoroughly evaluate our technology and witness the value it brings to tThe new ViTrox Americas demo lab is equipped with advanced systems including the V310i for 3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI). This system provides precise 3D solder paste inspection, ensuring accurate solder volume measurements and defect detection, which helps improve process control and product quality in SMT assembly lines.
For 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), the lab features the V510i SMT AOI designed for standard SMT assembly. This AOI system offers high-speed, high-accuracy inspection of surface mount components, detecting defects such as missing components, soldering issues and placement errors. The V510i SEMI AOI tailored for advanced packaging provides thorough inspection of complex semiconductor packages, ensuring the highest quality standards in advanced packaging applications. Additionally, the V510i Micro AOI specialized for wire bond and die inspection ensures precise and reliable detection of defects in microelectronic assemblies.
ViTrox’s 3D Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) capabilities are represented by the V810i S2 EX. This high-performance 3D AXI system offers comprehensive inspection capabilities for detecting hidden solder joints and component defects, which is crucial for ensuring the integrity of complex PCB assemblies.
For Final Assembly, Conformal Coating and Post Selective Inspection (FAI/ACI/SSI), the V9i system is available. This versatile system provides thorough inspection of final assemblies, conformal coatings, and post-selective soldering, ensuring the highest quality in the final stages of production.
By providing live demonstrations and hands-on evaluations, ViTrox aims to help customers understand the capabilities and benefits of their systems, ultimately driving improvements in production quality and efficiency.

Breaking Down Barriers: The Connectivity of Machines in SMT Production Lines
05/14/2025 | Bill Cardoso, Creative ElectronAs the world increasingly moves toward erecting trade barriers, we find ourselves in a paradox. Across the globe, the rise in tariffs and protectionist policies is creating a more fragmented global economy, with nations seeking to insulate themselves from external economic pressures. However, within the confines of the SMT production line, the trend is moving in precisely the opposite direction—toward greater connectivity, integration, and collaboration. Rather than isolating one machine from another, SMT production lines are increasingly interconnected, with data being shared across various stages of the process to improve quality, efficiency, and defect detection.
