Dennis Barbini discusses Lasersem with Trevor Galbraith. The latest laser soldering system to come out of South Korea. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

Panasonic adds Process Manager and other software tools to PanaCim bringing an MES component for total factory control. The latest NMP-WX series also makes it's debut. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

The Meister is a new inspection system for semiconductor packaging that can handle shiny parts, such as wafer chips. Koh Young have also introduced the MOI for accurately measuring parts in box build and storing the traceability data. The Ksmart software controlling these systems has also been updated to include real-time monitoring and data handling. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

FactoryOptix is the new augmented reality system from Aegis that can be used for training or operator instructions where the operator needs to work hands-free. Jason Spera also discussed the company's cloud computing system. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

Fluxers with low overspray, large board size (18' x 24'), nozzle tinner that reduces dross and dual pots for increased speed or twin alloys. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

BPM Microsystems upgrades its WhisperTeach software to WhisperTeach Plus. The new system plots X and Y coordinates in addition to the Z height and pressure, limiting the potential for misplaced or damaged devices during programming. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

There is no doubt that technology is only constrained by the pace at which materials science can design and introduce new materials that conduct electricity faster and more reliably in greater temperature ranges using cheaper raw materials. What are the current barriers, opportunities and even threats? This panel will discuss. Panel: Brian Toleno (Microsoft), Watson Tseng (Shenmao) Tetsuro Nishimu...

Many manufacturers are placing solder dispensing systems after the printer to makeup for missing paste or last minute redesigns. Is this a growing trend and will paste dispensers eventually replace stencil printers? Panel: Rob Lela (ASM Assembly Systems), Clemens Jargon (Mycronic), Chrys Shea (Shea Engineering) #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

Today Keith Bryant speaks to David Erskine (LRD Electric Ltd.) #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

LIVE @ IPC APEX EXPO 2019 - Day 3 Trevor Galbraith discusses the new equipment, materials and industry developments over the three days of APEX with Mike Skinner (US Tech) and Keith Bryant. #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

Every major pick and place company is developing a turnkey solution that they claim will produce optimized results. Should EMS companies place their trust in one vendor and move away from investing in ‘best-in-class’ products? Panel: Jeff Timms (ASM), Michael Sayers (Panasonic), Jonny Nichols (HanWha) #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019

The test landscape is changing. SPI, AOI and x-ray systems provide much of the intelligence that drives the production equipment on the factory floor. Future systems will be even more intelligent, gathering more data and include automatic programming and integrated inspection analysis. This panel will discuss what this means for the test engineer? Panel: Satoshi Otaki (SAKI), Brian D'Amico (MIRTEC...

Today's guests include Teresa M. Rowe (IPC), David D Hillman (Collins Aerospace), Brian D'Amico (Mirtec) and David Bennett (Mirtec). #ipcapexexpo #ipcapex #ipc #ipcapex2019
