Test Research, Inc. (TRI), the leading test and inspection systems provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, will join the SMTA Wisconsin Expo 2025. The exhibition will take place on May 6, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Milwaukee Airport, Wisconsin.
Visit TRI's stand to discuss how TRI's One Stop Solution for PCB Assembly Testing and Inspection is reshaping the SMT Industry. TRI's product line includes Optical Inspection (SPI, AOI, and AXI) and Board testing (ICT and MDA).
TRI's AXI solutions, TR7600 Series, offer full-coverage defect detection capabilities, High Multi-Resolution 2 - 30 µm, AI-powered inspection algorithms, and inline fine-tuning capabilities. Unlike competitors, TRI's X-ray inspection solutions secure the sample on the conveyor while inspecting it, preventing further damage. The TR7600 Series satisfies the inspection needs of the electronics manufacturing industries such as Advanced Packaging, Automotive, Aerospace, Telecommunications, and Medical. The AXI series can also inspect large boards of up to 2100 x 510 mm. The 3D CT AXI equipment ensures meticulous inspection across various components, including BGA, QFN, SiP, PTH, PoP, C4 Bumps, and more.

Driving Sustainability in PCB Design
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Filbert (Fil) Arzola is an electrical engineer at Raytheon. He’s smart, entertaining, and passionate about PCB design. As it turns out, he’s also passionate about “Mother Earth,” as he calls her. Born and raised in Southern California, he freely admits that he turns the water off when he brushes his teeth and yells at his brother for throwing batteries in the garbage. But when looking at the issue of sustainability and PCB design, he urges his audiences to ponder what sustainability looks like. Can PCB designers, he asks, make any impact on sustainability at all?
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO: Silicon Geometry's Signal Integrity Impact on PCBs
