PCB manufacturer DIVSYS International Inc. will be holding Advanced Selective Soldering Workshops on July 24−26, 2018, and November 6−8, 2018, from 8:30am to 4pm EST.
The in-depth two-day workshop focuses on providing a detailed understanding of PCB construction such as copper layers, barrel plating and porosity. The interaction between the PCB and selective soldering process as well as the heat flow characteristics within thermally challenging multilayer boards will be defined. The classroom and hands-on portions of this advanced workshop is instructed by renowned fabrication and assembly expert, Stanley L. Bentley, P.E. in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This workshop is designed for, but not limited to, those who have a good working knowledge and understanding of selective soldering. The number of attendees for the advanced workshop is being limited to six (6) to allow better focus on each individual's specific needs and unique requests.

During factory visits, I've witnessed what’s happened to our workforce after the pandemic. Sometimes it looks like operator separation for social distancing, working extra shifts to cover for lost or missing employees due to illness, workers who now work from home, or they have simply found working no longer suits them. One possible solution when you can’t hire skilled technicians is to look at automation, particularly automation for soldering. For many it was a “feature piece” for the obligatory factory tour just to demonstrate to potential customers they are forward thinking. Now it’s a reality to solve a true workforce shortage issue. But why use a robotic soldering system?

Successful skills training is a crucial part of the onboarding process and can take experienced staff members away from their primary jobs on the manufacturing floor. Effective training to onboard new employees can not only speed up the ramp-up times, but can also be customized to a company’s specific needs. We posed these four questions about new hire training to Sharon Montana-Beard, vice president of sales and operations at Blackfox.
