HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS FACILITATING EXPERTISE IN THE WORLD OF HI-TECH SOLDERING

10:00 AM Best benchtop soldering practices Presented by Timothy O’Neil, Technical Marketing Manager at AIM Solder Good benchtop soldering practices play an essential role in a quality, reliable assembly process. Because benchtop soldering is the most hands-on part of the assembly process, operators must thoroughly apprehend materials and techniques to ensure product quality. Hear how alloys and fluxes are used in bench top soldering and how to maximize performance and minimize risk.

11:00 AM Benchtop cleaning method Presented by Pierce Pillon, Lab Manager and Lead Formulations Chemist Does aerosol benchtop cleaning consistently and reliably clean reworked boards? The effectiveness of this method is determined by several variables which include straw attachment, spray technique, spray angle, handheld cleaning tools, brush attachments, and a final rinse. A Techspray study suggests general guidelines to improve benchtop cleaning processes.

12:00 PM Complimentary lunch & networking

1:00 PM The challenges of evolving technology in the workplace Presented by Bubba Powers, Manager of Technical Services at Weller

Size matters for electronic assemblies. Flat screen TVs are getting larger while other devices such as medical implants, PC’s, tablets and cell phones, are getting smaller. Designers of electronic products face the challenges of component technology, board density, substrate materials as well as solder alloys and fluxes. Weller addresses how soldering and rework systems manufacturers are working to assist our customers in overcoming these challenges.

2:00 PM Importance of training Presented by Leo Lambert, Vice President, Technical Director at EPTAC The ancient practice of soldering has seen many changes over the years. Materials and tools have greatly grown in sophistication and complexity to handle the soldering challenges poised by today’s circuit board. Now more than ever, well-trained staff are needed to improve efficiency of electronic manufacturing, thus creating a dependable and desirable product.
