During the actual exhibition, the SMART Group will support the "Solder Paste and Solder Joint Automatic Inspection Experience." Join the association in Hall 4 for this year's special feature area, where the SMART Group and NPL will support a comprehensive program that 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. Additionally, the feature will include AOI inspection of printed board assemblies for open joints, lifted leads, partial lifting of passives and other less common defects. A series of test boards has been specially created with known process defects to show the machines’ capabilities.
The feature is being organised by Bob Willis. For more information, contact Bob at bob@bobwillis.co.uk.
