BOXBORO, MA – If XRF is the best choice for detecting the presence or absence of RoHS-banned substances, why aren’t more companies using it?
That was one of the unavoidable questions during the Boston SMTA chapter meeting Tuesday, as several leading XRF suppliers explained their systems’ pros and cons and weighed the problems of the nearly two-dozen assemblers in attendance.
EDINA, MN – SMTA has issued a call for papers for SMTA China South (Aug. 26-28) and SMTA China North (Nov. 10-11).
These events will be held in conjunction with Nepcon South China and Bohai Electronics Week.

SMTA requests technical papers for the technology or vendor conferences. Papers are requested in both Chinese and English; Chinese presentations are recommended.
