AIM Solder's Dillon Zhu and Derek Wang have received Best Presentation awards for their respective technical sessions at the SMTA China East Technical Conference in Shanghai.
Zhu’s presentation, titled “Assessing the Effectiveness of I/O Stencil Aperture Modifications on BTC Void Reduction,” generated great interest among attendees. This study highlighted stencil and reflow modifications that can be deployed to consistently and repeatedly reduce void formation on BTC style devices.
Wang’s presentation focused on AIM’s new REL alloys, which were developed to provide the PCB assembly industry with unique solutions to address the limitations of current industry offerings.
Zhu is a regional technical support manager for AIM and, with over 15 years of experience, is an expert in SMT manufacturing. Since joining AIM in 2008, he has assisted many clients in diagnosing and correcting SMT and wave solder production challenges.
Wang is a technical support manager for AIM Solder. He is an SMTA Certified Engineer and also serves as a SMT Processes Trainer. With over 13 years’ experience in the SMT industry, Wang supports AIM customers in Eastern China.

Since training is such a key component in converting an inexperienced new hire into a valued contributor on the manufacturing floor, we asked Brenda Clunie, vice president of sales and operations at EPTAC, exactly how their certification programs deliver on this promise for new hires.

At the Atlanta SMTA Expo and Tech Forum, I met Neil Hubble, president of the metrology systems provider Akrometrix. If you’re not sure exactly what metrology entails, you’re in luck. In this interview, Neil explains why metrology is becoming a critical part of PCB manufacturing. We also discuss the company’s capital equipment, testing services, and why Akrometrix counts many of the top PCB and semiconductor manufacturing companies in the world as their customers.

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?
