Current IssueSolder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.
A Culture of Thriving
One cannot simply command thriving; it must be nurtured, developed, and encouraged. In this issue, we explore strategies to improve your working relationship model—both internally and externally. In this culture of thriving, your business will grow in the process.
Certifications
Certifications have historically been seen as a cost of doing business, but how do we turn them into a positive ROI and a value to both customer and vendor?

Dymax, a leading manufacturer of rapid curing materials and equipment, announces a curated lineup of light-curable adhesives and coatings designed to meet the complex assembly needs of stationary energy storage systems such as industrial gas turbines (IGTs) and various types of fuel cells and electrolyzers including Solid Oxide (SOFC) and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEMFC).
Manufacturers and assemblers of energy systems often face challenges related to durability, efficiency, and safe operation under diverse and demanding conditions. Dymax's adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, sealants, and maskants are designed to address assembly and end-product performance obstacles in energy applications.
The materials cure quickly under light exposure, facilitating faster production speeds, which is important for high-volume manufacturing. They also provide strong adhesion and are suitable for various substrates used in energy system components, including metals and advanced composites. Their versatile nature makes them suitable for applications requiring high structural integrity, tight seals, and performance under fluctuating conditions.
Dymax products are effective in environments that require resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals. In manufacturing and assembling SOFC and PEM fuel cell stacks, gasket sealants and adhesives maintain their integrity at high temperatures and resist chemical degradation from fuel cell electrolytes and gases.
Light-curable maskants protect sensitive gas turbine engine components during surface finishing. Conformal coatings and encapsulants offer protection of printed circuit boards housed within IGT control systems from changing environments.
Dymax products provide electrical insulation and mechanical stability to large-scale battery assemblies in ESS and battery packs. These features contribute to safer and more reliable energy storage solutions, supporting renewable energy integration and grid stabilization.
"Dymax continues to innovate in the field of light-curable materials, focusing on the specific needs of energy system manufacturers," said Virginia Hogan, Business Development Manager at Dymax. "Our products are developed with an in-depth understanding of the challenges in this sector, ensuring that they not only simplify the assembly process but also enhance the operational effectiveness and longevity of the systems."
These light-curable materials also support sustainability initiatives by reducing energy use during curing and eliminating the need for solvents, thus minimizing the environmental impact of traditional manufacturing processes. Along with formulated products, Dymax has a portfolio of light-curing equipment and dispensing systems to enhance high-speed assembly lines and improve throughput and efficiency. A highly knowledgeable team of system integrators can assist companies with the implementation of full-scale equipment and customized solutions to meet specific business needs.

The Pulse: Commonsense Cost Cutting
08/29/2024 | Martyn Gaudion -- Column: The PulseOne difference between engineering and pure science is that engineers (in most situations) are looking for cost-effectiveness. They do so by designing the most appropriate level of technology to maximize profitability with acceptable levels of application functionality. One area that is often overlooked is the energy cost of PCB production. At a recent EIPC conference, Dr. Maarten Cauwe of IMEC in Belgium presented a combined study of the lifecycle impact (LCI) of electronics systems and subassemblies. The study looked at the supply chain as well as the energy impact of HDIs.
