August 27, 2015 | Speedprint TechnologyEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Speedprint Technology will showcase the award-winning SP710 Screen Printer in Booth #821 at SMTA International, scheduled to take place Sep. 29 - 30, 2015 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Speedprint prides the SP710 for low ownership costs, flexibility and ease of maintenance. Having achieved outstanding reliability, each Speedprint unit is backed by the industry’s best warranty with five-years on parts and two-years on labor.
The SP710 is equipped with a dual syringe Advanced Dispense unit for precise deposition of solder paste, adhesive and other materials. The award-winning screen printer includes a significant list of standard machine features as well as inherent benefits such as SMarT-Cal, Speedprints unique product-based machine calibration that maintains the largest process window to manage today’s most sophisticated application challenges. Also, attendees will learn why Speedprint can boast of the lowest maintenance and ownership costs in the industry.
Also on display, the Advanced Dispense Unit + (ADu+) significantly increase the flexibility of the SP710. The unit has been enhanced to deliver the best accuracy of any printer based dispenser. It can be used with a wider range of materials and new applications for stencil-less prototyping and on-the-fly engineering changes. This further saves operational costs and provides a competitive time-to-market advantage for Speedprint customers.
Additionally, the Velocity Plus throughput enhancement delivers best-in-class speed while further enhancing Speedprints value with extraordinary productivity and functionality at reasonable price points. With Velocity Plus enhancement, the SP710 is the fastest printer in its class with a six second core cycle time.
Speedprint’s Universal SPI Communications system is fully configurable to communicate and function alongside SPI equipment using standard network protocols. The system is easily implemented using preinstalled templates allowing users to create customized profiles. Additionally, Speedprint’s product verification setup will be displayed that can minimize changeover time and help eliminate setup errors.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
