ASC International to Demonstrate 100% High-Speed Offline SPI at SMTAI
September 20, 2016 | ASC InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ASC International has announced that its VisionPro HSi will be featured in Booth #140 at SMTA International, scheduled to take place September 27-28, 2016 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
VisionPro HSi is a high-speed, sophisticated 3-dimensional solder paste measurement system coupled with an intuitive Windows® user interface, and packaged in a rugged, bench-top portable system designed for the electronics production floor. With only a few minutes training, an operator can perform accurate 100 percent - 3D measurements of solder paste pads, BGAs and many other PCB features. The VisionPro HSi automated solder paste measurement process eliminates operator errors and offers excellent measurement repeatability.
“We have found great success with the VisionPro HSi due to its ability to fully characterize the overall print of a PCB,” stated Steve Arneson, National Business Manager. “This valuable feedback is then used to make the proper correction actions to the print parameters and board supports to allow for a solid print process to exist.”
In addition to the VisionPro HSi, ASC International will demonstrate its industry-leading VisionPro M500 bench top SPI system, its unique SPI/AOI combination system called the LineMaster DM, and the Unicomp X-ray machine.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
