NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at The Battery Show North America from October 7-10 at Huntington Place in Detroit, MI. The KYZEN team will highlight electronics cleaner AQUANOX A4727 and metal cleaner METALNOX M6422 at Booth #5705.

Just as The Battery Show urges attendees to immerse themselves in battery innovation, KYZEN leverages more than 30 years of cleaning experience to produce cleaning solutions to meet the challenges associated with cleaning high performance electronics and metals.

AQUANOX A4727 is an award-winning aqueous assembly cleaner proven effective on all solder flux residues including Pb-free and no-clean formulations, removing them from complex, dense assemblies. A4727 is used at low concentrations giving it a long bath life and is proven compatible with an array of components, coatings, labels and equipment.

METALNOX M6422 is an aqueous blend chemistry designed to clean and prepare extruded aluminum surfaces. M6422 effectively cleans and removes machining contaminants and aluminum oxide to enhance subsequent automated welding and coating operations. It is effective at concentrations lower than five percent and can be utilized in spray and immersion applications.

Additionally, KYZEN Business Development Manager Jason Schwartz will serve as one of four panelists for “Connecting EV Charging Station’s reliability with IPC Electronics Industry Standards.” The discussion will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at 1:15 PM CT in the show’s Orange area.

SEOUL, KOREA – PEMTRON, an inspection equipment developer and supplier, is pleased to announce its participation in NEPCON Nagoya 2024, where it will showcase its cutting-edge equipment designed for precision inspection in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

From October 23-25, visitors to PEMTRON’s booth will experience demonstrations of the JUPITER 3D X-ray Inspection System, POSEIDON Wafer Warpage Measurement and FC-BGA Bump Inspection System, APOLLON Package Inspection System, and the 8800WIR Wafer Inspection System.

The JUPITER 3D X-ray Inspection System offers both 3D and 2D capabilities through advanced PCT reconstruction- based processing. Equipped with a high-resolution optical camera and integrated with PEMTRON’s proven AOI defect detection algorithms, JUPITER provides manufacturers with an exceptional tool for comprehensive in-line inspection and process quality analysis. Its seamless integration with SPI and AOI systems enables data sharing, delivering valuable insights into the production process and enhancing overall efficiency.

The POSEIDON System offers a cutting-edge solution for wafer warpage measurement and FC-BGA bump inspection. Leveraging 3D data, POSEIDON precisely measures warpage, flatness, and coplanarity, while its high-resolution imaging identifies fine defects like missing bumps, bridging, and more. Designed to support advanced processes such as wire bonding and Micro LED applications, POSEIDON delivers swift, accurate mapping and profiling data essential for high-precision manufacturing.

PEMTRON’s APOLLON Package Inspection System is engineered for real-time defect detection across a wide variety of packages, including BGA, LGA, QFN, QFP, CSP, and SOP. With its automated reporting capabilities, APOLLON significantly enhances production efficiency and minimizes downtime, ensuring high-quality results for manufacturers.

Also on display will be the 8800WIR Wafer Inspection System, which utilizes 2D and 3D imaging technologies to inspect micro bumps and other types of wafer components. This system plays a critical role in detecting and addressing quality issues early in the semiconductor manufacturing process, ensuring optimal production quality.

Join PEMTRON at NEPCON Nagoya 2024 for live demonstrations and discover how these revolutionary systems are shaping the future of semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

SHIPPENSBURG, PA – Niche Electronics, a leading electronics manufacturing services company, announced today the opening of its new location in Bedford, Massachusetts. The completely renovated production space replaces a phased-out smaller facility Niche had operated in nearby Waltham.

Niche Electronics crafts high-complexity circuit boards, wire harness and cable assemblies for many industries, providing services from new product introduction to volume production. The company’s new 11,000 square-foot location offers significant advantages to customers and employees. Among the significant upgrades:

• Space: Niche designed a new configuration that enables optimal production, with single-level manufacturing and equipment placement that maximizes efficiency.
• Environment: Niche’s larger, climate-controlled building offers an electro-static dissipative environment — incredibly important for reducing static electricity during manufacturing. State-of-the-art LED lighting will lower costs while improving visibility.
• Technology: The new location includes upgraded production equipment and RFID perimeter tagging that provides a secure environment. Newly installed IT infrastructure creates fast, secure connections to corporate servers, and an updated phone system improves communication.

Frank Bowman, CEO of Niche, said the new facility offers vastly improved workflow that benefits employees and significantly boosts production capacity.

“Our move into the clean, modern production space is a huge step up for our team and our customers,” Bowman said. “This is just the latest signal that Niche is committed to our program of expansion and continuous improvement.”

Bowman added that Niche will be adding to that location’s sales force, which will enable Niche to build on its reputation of responsiveness to customers and prospects.

The new facility enables Niche to maintain redundant sites in three geographical locations in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. This advantage enables the company to shift production in the event of service interruptions from machine outages, natural disasters, fires, or other unforeseen circumstances.

These three strategically located facilities also give Niche an optimal geographical reach, enabling personalized service to hundreds of high-tech customers within a three-hour drive.
