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.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
