Indium Corporation’s Adam Murling, Technical Support Engineer, will participate in a virtual miniaturization roundtable hosted by BarTron on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. British Time/11 p.m. Malaysia Time).  

In Process Solution Series Part 2: Industry Progression to Miniaturization, roundtable guests will discuss new manufacturing challenges caused by miniaturization, including those within the printer process, solder paste powder size, placement improvements, and inspection. The roundtable will be followed by a live Q&A.

Murling is responsible for providing leading-edge technical support for customers around the globe through SMT process optimization, material recommendations, and customer training. He nurtures existing accounts and assists in strategy development for obtaining new accounts. Murling also plans and executes customer and internal designs-of-experiments.

Initiatives like the IPC Connected Factory Exchange (CFX) and IPC-Hermes-9852 underpin efforts within the industry to develop standards and help create a smart factory. These M2M communication standards, guided in part by Industry 4.0, are altering the manufacturing process by improving metrics such as first pass yield and throughput by applying autonomous process adjustments.

A limitation of many 3D optical inspection systems is the cycle time typically associated with processing millions of pixels to reconstruct a full 3D image using data captured from multiple channels. There should not be a compromise between 3D inspection and throughput. A successful inspection deployment should provide oversight for the process, not compromise, interrupt or slow that process.
