Vi TECHNOLOGY to Display 3D SPI and Leading Technology at S.E.E.
April 1, 2016 | Vi TECHNOLOGY’Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Vi TECHNOLOGY, a leading provider of inspection solutions for PCB assembly, will exhibit PI-the new generation of 3D SPI as well as SIGMA Link, a powerful web-based software suite, in the Wretrom booth CO4:30 at the upcoming Scandinavian Electronics Event (S.E.E.) scheduled to take place April 19-21, 2016 in Sweden. Wretrom will represent Vi TECHNOLOGY at the show.
The PI Series allows the easy implementation of Solder Paste Inspection in any PCBA line. These new generation systems are very intuitive to use, allowing non-experienced persons to get expected results. With reduced footprint, all models are fitting in modern assembly lines. PI Series is automatic, accurate and repeatable, meeting your advanced SPI requirements with unprecedented simplicity.
PI can be used by anyone. Operators, not just engineers, can program the machine. PI’s powerful capabilities are just a fingertip away. PI is designed to operate solely with a touch screen icon based interface with no keyboard and no mouse, and anyone can be up and running after just an hour’s training. Calibration is done at a press of button with embedded geometric and radiometric calibration tools to ensure consistent performance over time and machine-to-machine portability.
Also highlighted at the show is SIGMA Link; a continuous yield improvement tool to translate SPI and AOI inspection data into useful process information. Built around a unified SPI and AOI database, a correlation of inspection data and images, SIGMA Link provides in-line monitoring, easy diagnosis of the entire PCB assembly process and full traceability of data and images.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

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.
