Global Sourcing Spotlight: The Importance of Cooperative PartnershipsManncorp Installs SMT Assembly Line in Guadalajara
June 30, 2015 | ManncorpEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Manncorp, a U.S.-based supplier of PCB assembly equipment, has installed an SMT assembly line for Continental Automotive as part of a rapid prototyping laboratory at the Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Zapopan (ITSZ) in Guadalajara.
Continental Automotive Guadalajara México, S.A. de C.V., part of German-based Continental Corporation partnered with the ITSZ campus to extend its innovation and development activities. The new production line from Manncorp is key to developing the products that come out of this partnership. The line includes two MC-385V1V pick and place machines, an PB2300 stencil printer, and a CR-6000 reflow oven.
Flexibility and fast job changes are key to this line. Manncorp’s high-precision MC-385V1V pick and place machines feature a high feeder capacity (128 slots each) and the ability to place a wide range of SMDs, from 01005 chip components to BGAs and 15 mil ultra-fine-pitch devices up to 150 x 150 mm. The PB2300 stencil printer offers quick stencil changes and tool-less squeegee changes for quick changeovers while providing excellent repeatability and print results. The CR-6000, one of Manncorp’s best-selling reflow ovens, is a full-convection, lead-free oven with a footprint smaller than you’d expect for its capability. It comes standard with a pin conveyor installed over a mesh belt, maximizing its flexibility on the production line.
Sabino De La O, Sales and Technical Support Manager for Manncorp’s Juarez, Mexico office, installed the equipment at the ITSZ campus and was present when the National Director of the Institute visited for a demonstration of the new line. An open house will be held in early July, during which Aristóteles Sandoval, Governor of the State of Jalisco, will tour the institute and the new production line.

PCB Surface Topography and Copper Balancing Under Large Form Factor BGAs
10/01/2024 | Neil Hubble, Akrometrix and Gary A. Brist, Intel CorporationAs CPU and GPU packages grow larger and contain higher pin/ball counts, the importance of managing the printed circuit board (PCB) surface coplanarity for package assembly increases. The PCB surface coplanarity under a package is a product of both the global bow/twist of the PCB and the local surface topography under the package. In general, the surface topography is dependent the choice of material and layer stackup and the interaction between the innerlayer copper patterns and prepreg resin flow.
