Ascentech LLC will exhibit and demonstrate new test and process optimization instruments and solutions at the upcoming SMTA Capital Expo & Technical Forum on Sept. 1, 2015 in Laurel, MD.
Products will include the Optilia High Definition Camera Inspection System and GEN3 Systems Solder Saver, a solder/dross separation tool, the award-winning GENSONIC Ultra-Sonic Stencil Cleaner, the Optilia BGA Inspection scope, and more. Ascentech, LLC is the North American distributor for visual Inspection Instrument manufacturer Optilia Instruments AB, as well as GEN3 Systems Ltd.
The SMTA Capital Expo & Technical Forum is held at the Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Lab, 11100 Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, MD 20723. Show Hours are from 9:00am - 3:00pm.
Optilia offers obstruction‐free, fatigue‐free High‐definition benchtop inspection for PCB assembly, and real‐time BGA inspection solutions.
The Solder Saver is a hand held, compact system for separating Dross from good solder. The unit easily reduces hardened dross material to oxide powder making it possible to remove the dross oxide waste from the solder pot, leaving valuable solder in the pot. The Gensonic is a manually-operated, ultrasonic transducer unit for cleaning stencils used in printing solder pastes and adhesives. It can be used either directly on the printer or at a separate cleaning station.
