Goepel to Present Free Webinar on Reliable 3D Measurement of Solder Paste and Sinter Paste
April 27, 2016 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Global provider of innovative electronic and optical test and inspection systems Goepel is pleased to announce their latest webinar, “The most important facts about reliable 3D measurement of solder paste and sinter paste” to be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 11 AM EST.
This free event (beginner to advanced users) addresses detection of solder and sinter paste defects and will be ideally suited for quality and production managers for electronic assemblies, technologists and production planners as well as CEOs and directors of electronics manufacturing companies.
Faults in PCB manufacturing may occur at different places within the production line, but approximately 60% of them are caused by solder paste defects. Since printing is at the beginning of the assembly line, faults found there are less cost-intensive. Detecting such faults early in the operation at the printing step allows them to be addressed in the most cost effectively way possible.
What technologies exist for effective inspection of solder paste and sinter paste? What are the requirements for sinter paste inspection compared with solder paste inspection? What does process optimization through Closed Loop look like? How can cross-linking between different inspection systems be realized in the frame of industry 4.0? Speaker David Whetstone, GOEPEL electronics LLC, will answer these questions and more during this webinar.
Visit Goepel’s “The most important facts about reliable 3D measurement of solder paste and sinter paste” event page to register for free today.

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.
