Accurate Engineering Purchases New Hot Air Solder Leveler from New Technology Overman
January 31, 2017 | Accurate EngineeringEstimated reading time: 1 minute
California based circuit board manufacturer, Accurate Engineering has purchased a new NTO-1824LF HASL machine to upgrade that process and give their customers an unsurpassed surface finish. The NTO HAL machines offer easy access to the solder pump via a quick disconnect mounting plate and are very easy to remove for cleaning of the pump area. The NTO machine, in combination with the Quick Flex fixture, can process flex and thin core as well as rigid panels. NTO offers several sizes of machines as well as custom features upon request.
Shital Desai, C.O.O. of Accurate Engineering, states, “David Dye of Quick Turn, Inc. has helped us maintain our older Avalon HAL machine for years in order to keep us running after Avalon closed. We knew that by purchasing from him we would receive the same support as he has given to us on a machine he didn’t even sell. NTO offered several size options, so we were able to purchase just what we needed to fit our budget.”

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
