Goepel to Hold Free Webinar on Integration of AOI into THT Process

Reading time ( words)

Goepel electronic will be conducting a free webinar, "Individuality desired? Flexible Integration of AOI Systems into the THT Process" on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 10 a.m. EST. 

Assessing the diversity of all components, it can be clearly noticed: THT components are still present in significant numbers despite the march toward miniaturization and increases in integration density. What measures are being taken to guarantee assembly quality in production when utilizing these components? Usually it is done through manual means or not well-tested at all. Neither is acceptable under today’s quality demands. This fact appears more problematic, as THT components are still in use in sensitive areas—especially in the field of power electronics.

Inform yourself online and free of charge in about 60 minutes, including question and answer session about typical manufacturing problems and requirements for THT inclusive production processes. Live presentation on key insights regarding the structure of an in-line AOI system for component and solder joint inspection of THT assemblies will be given.

You will learn about various integration options for the shortest quality loop and maximum effectiveness and how inspection systems can be connected to company-internal MES and traceability systems, and which challenges and opportunities exist for AOI systems with respect to labeling of assemblies and workpieces. 

The following questions will be answered during the webinar:

• What possibilities for in-line integration are offered by AOI systems for THT assemblies?
• How can these systems adapt to the given production situation?
• What labeling of workpieces and assemblies is necessary for unambiguous assignment of errors and traceability?

The webinar addresses quality and production issues and will be ideally suited to managers for electric assemblies, technologists and production planners as well as CEOs and directors of electronic manufacturing companies.

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?
