Koh Young America and Panasonic Join Forces to Deliver a Technical Workshop at Assembly Products
October 1, 2019 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
During a two-day technical workshop in New England, Koh Young America will discuss the important role of solder paste inspection (SPI) to understand and then optimize the solder paste print process to improve printed circuit board assembly production yield. Additionally, Panasonic will discuss how the proven connectivity between its printers and mounters and the Koh Young SPI and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment will benefit manufacturers with Advanced Process Control (APC). The 2-day Print Process Characterization workshop is scheduled for 23-24 October 2019 at the Westford Regency with live machine demonstrations at the Assembly Products Lab in Chelmsford, MA.
Assembly Products is using two industry-respected engineers from Koh Young and Panasonic to lead the workshop. Mr. Ray Welch is a Sr. Applications Engineer at Koh Young America who focuses on helping customers enhance the effectiveness of their use of SPI to characterize and optimize the paste printing process. “During my sessions, I will present materials that will workshop participants enhance their understanding of SPI,” said Ray. “I want to help manufacturers improve their process by teaching them how to use SPI as a process optimization tool rather than a basic “Go” or “No Go” inspection system.”
Specifically, Ray will demonstrate how manufacturers can use Print Process Characterization to fully optimize their printed circuit board assembly process. For the next phase of the workshop, Assembly Products tapped on Panasonic to discuss mounter connectivity. Doug Africano is a Solutions Engineer in the Process Automation division of Panasonic Systems Solution Company of North America.
He supervises the Panasonic Cloud9 Technology Center in Buffalo Grove, Illinois where he helps showcase total solution offerings from Panasonic and its partners, including Koh Young. In this part of the event, Doug will share details about how the Panasonic Adaptive Process Control (APC) technology, which we have integrated with the Koh Young SPI and AOI systems, can boost production yield and lower manufacturing costs by reducing rework and repair.
