Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Hot Air vs. Infrared PCB Rework

08/31/2026 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone Pile
Component rework is the controlled process of removing, replacing, repositioning, or repairing electronic components on an assembled PCB. Rework may be required because of component defects, incorrect placement, soldering defects, engineering changes, or damage identified during inspection or testing. A successful rework process uses controlled heating, soldering, cleaning, handling, and inspection techniques to restore the assembly while minimizing thermal and mechanical stress to the PCB and surrounding components.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: PCB Design Is a Team Sport (Revisited)

08/27/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the U.S. men’s 4x100-meter relay team of Trayvon Bromell, Fred Kerley, Ronnie Baker, and Cravon Gillespie was expected to contend for gold. With some of the fastest sprinters in the world, simply reaching the final seemed almost certain. Instead, the heavily favored team finished sixth in its qualifying heat and failed to advance, missing the final by just two-hundredths of a second. This massive disappointment was not due to a lack of individual speed but to a poorly executed baton exchange between Kerley and Baker, which forced both runners to slow down at the most critical moment.

The True Cost of Rework: Integrating RMAs and Rework into Core Business Processes

08/12/2026 | Scott Ryan, Cetec ERP
Returns and rework are a reality for every manufacturer. Most companies can authorize an RMA. Fewer have the process or vehicles for carrying it through receiving, quality, production, shipping, and accounting. RMAs and rework can have a significant impact on the top and bottom line. Credits and refunds reduce revenue. Repair adds cost to a product already built and takes capacity away from new, revenue-producing work. Poor execution also puts customer relationships at risk, which is everything in contract manufacturing.
