Nordson to Feature Test and Inspection Systems at SMTAI
September 14, 2015 | Nordson DAGEEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson DAGE and Nordson YESTECH, divisions of Nordson Corporation, are pleased to announce that their products will be featured in the SMTA International – National Physical Laboratory (NPL) Defect Database Live Solder Paste and Solder Joint Automatic Inspection Experience from Sept. 29-30, 2015 on the show floor of SMTAI.
This year's special feature area will include live printing ultra-fine pitch deposits, 0201 and 01005 devices, inspection and measurement of different combinations of materials, plus some of the key in-process inspection steps to make a process perform correctly. It also will include AOI inspection of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) for open joints, lifted leads, partial lifting of passives and other less common defects. A series of test boards have been specially created with known process defects to show the machines' capabilities.
Bob Willis will use the Nordson YESTECH BX AOI system and Nordson DAGE XD7500VR Jade FP among other leading equipment to inspect process defects. The Nordson YESTECH BX AOI benchtop platform offers off-line benchtop PCB inspection with exceptional defect coverage. The Nordson DAGE XD7500VR Jade FP X-ray inspection system uses the latest technology flat panel detector to provide a market-leading, cost-effective approach where high quality real-time imaging is needed for production tasks.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
