Current IssueCounterfeit Concerns
The distribution of counterfeit parts has become much more sophisticated in the past decade, and there's no reason to believe that trend won't continue. What might crop up in the near future?
Solder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.
A Culture of Thriving
One cannot simply command thriving; it must be nurtured, developed, and encouraged. In this issue, we explore strategies to improve your working relationship model—both internally and externally. In this culture of thriving, your business will grow in the process.

YAMAHA Launches YSi-SP for Solder Paste Inspection
September 12, 2018 | Yamaha IMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Yamaha Motor Corporation USA‘s intelligent machinery (IM) Division announces the launch of the YSi-SP, Yamaha Motor’s first advanced 3D solder paste inspection (SPI) machine. It is used to inspect the printing quality (volume, height, area, misalignment) of solder paste after it has been printed onto a PCB, offering true volumetric measurement and powerful process optimization capability.
The YSi-SP performs high-speed, high-accuracy 2D and 3D solder paste inspection with a single head, employing image high-resolution switch-over for exceptional flexibility in a single machine.
The YSi-SP seamlessly communicates with other Yamaha machines to perform such Industry 4.0 tasks as automatic changeover, solder misalignment adjustment, and automatic conversion of glue inspection data from the dispenser. This is all possible due to YAMAHA’s expertise as a manufacturer of a full lineup of integrated SMT assembly equipment.
While offering a comprehensive statistical process control (SPC) data package, the YSi-SP can also be equipped with various optional features including bonding and foreign matter inspection.
In making the announcement, George Babka, Sales General Manager, said, “The launch of the YSi-SP enables us to supply all of the primary machines required for mounting processes under the YAMAHA brand. This includes printers, dispensers, solder paste inspection, surface mounters and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. This enables our customers to build their production lines with the highest capabilities, efficiency, and quality.”
Yamaha’s SMT Equipment will be on exhibit in booth #223 at SMTAI, October 16-17, 2018, at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, USA.
