KIC to Exhibit at SMTA Monterrey
March 25, 2016 | KICEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KIC today announced that it will exhibit at the SMTA Monterrey Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, April 14 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (Apodaca) in Monterrey. Miguel Carbajal, KIC’s Sales Manager in Mexico, will be available to discuss KIC’s smart oven technologies.
KIC’s smart oven technologies lead to reduced production cost, higher quality and new capabilities that the electronic assembly market is starting to demand.
Over the last decade, reflow oven manufacturers have done a great job of making their ovens more stable, reliable and less expensive. Looking forward, the majority of additional customer value will be created in the utilization of the ovens, and that is the area where KIC has and continues to develop new technologies.
KIC’s technologies automatically measure the PCB profile and its match to the relevant process window. Share this continuous and near real-time process and traceability data with all authorized personnel and MES over the factory’s LAN. True process data helps the maintenance people troubleshoot and fix issues faster.
One exciting aspect of these smart technologies is that they are retrofitable on virtually all oven models at nearly any age. Now the entire factory can use smart oven technologies.
