Technical Highlights: APEX
March 25, 2008 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
LAS VEGAS Technical presentations will take center stage at IPC Printed Circuits Expo/APEX/Designers Summit, April 13 in Las Vegas. Following are previews of select presentations taking place at the show, as well as links to other aspects of the technical program.
Soldering equipment manufacturer SEHO Systems is contributing a paper, "New Technology to Meet Challenging Reflow Requirements," presented by Christian Ott, senior sales and project manager, in the session Reflow Assembly on April 2. The presentation will provide an insight into the research project Microflow, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. This project features a new technology combining convection reflow soldering and microwave heating in a simultaneous process. Target is a thermal release of the assemblies by means of selective heating with electromagnetic waves, which allows the solder paste deposit to be heated stronger and faster than the temperature-sensitive components and substrates. SEHO will exhibit at Booth 1677. For more information, see www.seho.de.
