NORTH BILLERICA, MA – BTU International, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment for the electronics manufacturing market, is pleased to announce its participation in SMTconnect 2024, scheduled to take place June 11-13, 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany. The company will exhibit its latest innovations in reflow technology at the booths of its manufacturers' representatives, ANS answer elektronik Service- & Vertriebs GmbH and Stratus Vision GmbH.

ANS, located at Hall 4, Booths 245-345, and Stratus Vision, located in Hall 4 Booth 247, will host BTU International's advanced reflow solutions. BTU will feature its Pyramax 100A unit in the ANS booth and the Aqua Scrub™ Flux Management unit in the Stratus booth, offering attendees firsthand experience with state-of-the-art thermal processing equipment.

The Pyramax 100A reflow oven integrates advanced features, including closed-loop convection control and the Wincon oven control system, to deliver superior performance and reliability within a compact footprint. Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern electronics manufacturing, the Pyramax 100A ensures precise temperature control and uniform heating for optimal soldering results.

In the Stratus Vision booth, BTU International will highlight its Aqua Scrub™ Flux Management Technology. This next-generation solder reflow flux management system is engineered to significantly reduce operational costs compared to traditional condensation systems. Aqua Scrub's patent-pending design utilizes aqueous-based scrubber technology compatible with a wide range of paste and flux types, offering enhanced efficiency and productivity while drastically lowering scheduled downtime. The Aqua Scrub flux management system is designed within the new Aurora platform of reflow ovens and can also be retrofitted to current Pyramax units.

Company representatives will discuss how the new Aurora platform is guiding the way to the lights out Industry 4.0 factory of the future by seeing reflow in a new light. Implementing the industry’s first factory configurable heating and cooling zones provides the flexibility to customize your reflow oven for specific product/process characteristics including very heavy boards, slow cooling constraints, or increased throughput requirements.

For a hands-on view of the BTU equipment and its portfolio of thermal processing solutions, please visit ANS at Hall 4, Booth 245-345 and Stratus Vision at Hall 4, Booth 247 at SMTconnect 2024.

INGLESIDE, IL – IDENTCO – a manufacturer of high-performance labeling solutions for the power equipment, electronics, transportation, and general industrial sector – will highlight its automation capabilities and PCB labeling solutions at PCB East, June 4-7 in Boxborough, MA, Booth #301.

With automation a key theme, IDENTCO’s commitment to simplifying the automation process for PCB manufacturers is evident through the company’s comprehensive label and equipment packages. Designed for hassle-free integration, IDENTCO’s automation products offer plug-and-play functionality with most SMT equipment brands.

Attendees of the show will have the opportunity for a live demonstration of the IPS-30 Slimline Label Feeder. At a mere 30mm (1.18 in.) wide – half the size of conventional feeders – the IPS-30 requires only one feeder position on pick and place machines, freeing up valuable space along congested SMT production lines. Providing precise and accurate placement, it can also feed labels or die cut parts as small as 2mm x 2mm.

Additionally, IDENTCO offers the IPS-45, a presenter ideal for applications requiring a wider variety in label size.

The company will also be exhibiting their robust label solutions for printed circuit board (PCB) applications, including DuraTrack. This label series provides printed circuit assemblies with comprehensive traceability – an increasingly attractive internal quality control and supply chain transparency feature for brand owners producing high-leverage electronics.

Engineered for use in surface mount technology and throughout the entire assembly process, DuraTrack thermal transfer printable labels can endure harsh fluxes, the latest cleaning chemistries, and high temperatures encountered in today’s circuit board assembly processes, on both sides of the board.
