With the fine work needed for surface-mount technology, most of the job entails overcoming the limits of the human body. Eyes more than a couple of decades old need help to see what’s going on, and ...

Chip mounters support high-speed SMT assembly with placement rates up to 95,000 components per hour. The systems reduce board recognition time by approximately 30% and use vision-based alignment and ...

Surface mounting is an efficient technique for PCB assembly if the proper process is followed. The printed circuit board is usually laminated and integrated with solder pads. These pads are plated ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global surface mount technology (SMT) equipment report. This research report also lists five other ...

The reasons why it’s best, or perhaps not a good idea, to bring your PCB/SMT assembly in-house. How to select the PCB/SMT equipment you’ll need to get started—stencil printer, pick-and-place machine, ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Scientists from the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have fabricated a prototype of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module based on the so-called surface-mount technology (SMT) – a technique that ...

It was developed for true rotary application and can index its spindles within 55 msec, setting a new industry benchmark for placement head duty cycle. The head has 30 spindles, dual on-the-head ...
