Goepel Offers Free Webinar on Flexible Integration of AOI systems into the THT Process
May 2, 2016 | GOEPEL ElectronicEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Leading developer and manufacturer of intelligent solutions for the test of mounted PCBs and electronic devices, Goepel is pleased to announce their upcoming webinar, “Individuality desired? Flexible Integration of AOI systems into the THT Process” presenting on Thursday, May 12, 2016 at 11 AM EST.
Assessing the diversity of all components, it can be clear noticed: THT components are still present in significant numbers despite the march toward miniaturization and increases in integration density.
What are we doing to guarantee assembly quality in production when utilizing these components? Usually, it is done through manual means or not well tested at all. Neither is acceptable under today’s quality demands. This fact appears more problematic, as THT components are still in use in sensitive areas - especially in the field of power electrics.
This 60 minute free webinar will answer questions about typical manufacturing problems and requirements for THT inclusive production processes and provide key insights regarding the structure of an in-line AOI system for component and solder joint inspection of THT assemblies.
During the presentation you will learn about various integration options for the shortest quality loop and maximum effectiveness. You will also learn how our inspection systems can be connected to company-internal MES and traceability systems, and which challenges and opportunities exist for AOI systems with respect to labeling of assemblies and work pieces.
Learn about the possibilities for in-line integration are offered by AOI systems for THT assemblies, how these systems adapt to the given production situation and what labeling of work pieces and assemblies is necessary for unambiguous assignment of errors and traceability.

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.
