ASC International to Exhibit at SMTA Upper Midwest Expo
June 28, 2016 | ASC InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ASC International, a leading manufacturer of 3-D solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, today announced that it will exhibit at the SMTA Upper Midwest Expo, scheduled to take place Thursday, June 30, 2016 at the Minneapolis Marriot Southwest Hotel in Minnetonka, MN.
ASC International will offer live demonstrations of its industry-leading SPI and AOI solutions. The VisionPro M500, VisionPro AP500, VisionPro AV862 and LineMaster DM will all be available on the show floor for hands-on presentations.
The VisionPro Series of SPI systems incorporates the most advanced, rapid 3D inspection technology coupled with an intuitive Windows® 7 OS and packaged in a rugged, bench-top or standalone platform. Utilizing the completely automatic measurement mode, errors associated with manual measurement subjectivity are eliminated, making the VisionPro M, AP and DM series an exceptional value for electronics manufacturers concerned with improving quality and production yields.
The VisionPro Series of AOI systems incorporates the most advanced, 2D high resolution sensing technology coupled with an intuitive Windows® 7 OS and packaged in a rugged, standalone platform. Both image comparison and algorithm based defect detection software provide ease of programming with reliable, low false call rates to maximize performance. The VisionPro AV series offers outstanding ROI with prices starting as low as $25,000.

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.
