ANN ARBOR, MI — Aven, a full-service technology provider, will exhibit at the 2023 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Jan. 24-26, 2023 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. The company will introduce its new, all-in-one magnifying lamp and camera inspection system – the Mighty Vue Inspector – in Booth #1825. Additionally, Aven will celebrate its 40th anniversary during the event.

Magnifying lamps have been a staple in factories, labs, and on individual work benches for years – remaining largely unchanged in functionality. And while innovations in stereo zoom microscopes have made cameras a common feature, the Magnifying Lamp has been overlooked… Until now.

The Mighty Vue Inspector is a magnifying lamp and camera inspection system in one self-contained unit – allowing you to view the image directly on an HDMI monitor, capture and store images on the included microSD Card, and even connect to your PC for viewing or relocating saved images, and additional software features.

The Mighty Vue Inspector connects to HD monitors via HDMI cable or to a PC via USB. It is ideal for sharing images on a screen and finding defects in quality control. Additionally, the ESD safe magnifying lamp dissipates electrostatic discharge.

As a result of years of comprehensive research and development, Aven has expanded its expertise in the realm of design and customized configuration of advanced video inspection systems. The company’s solution-based experts possess the ability to recommend and create complete optical systems according to customers’ needs and budgets.

Aven also provides a variety of ancillary services such as product assembly, custom parts and tooling, and distribution, all of which are coordinated from its Michigan headquarters. For more information, call (734) 973-0099 or email sales@aventools.com.

DERRY, NH – StenTech Inc., the leading provider of stencils to the electronics manufacturing industry in North America, will introduce its new Advanced Nano Coating at the 2023 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Jan. 24-26, 2023 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. Additionally, the company will have its complete product line of various stencils and tooling on display – Meet with the StenTech team in Booth #2150!

With the continued miniaturization of electronic packaging, the challenge continues to have the ability to get enough solder paste down in the right geometry shape to not only place the component to solder, but also to meet the ever-changing IPC requirements.

Advanced Nano is a highly unique coating that is applied to the bottom side of the stencil and inside the apertures, the squeegee side remains uncoated. This coating provides the stencil with anti-adhesion properties. Advanced Nano utilizes a specialized 1-3 um hardened nano coating. This permanent hydrophobic and oleophobic coating repels solder flux, allowing increased transfer of paste.

Advanced Nano increases transfer efficiency up to 25 percent, and enables significantly less bridging due to its paste efficiency benefits. Due to the anti-adhesion or "non-stick" characteristics, underside cleaning is reduced, giving customers a better yield and less expense on rework and touch-up. Stencils coated with Advanced Nano are ready for use just 30 minutes after coating.

StenTech has been leading the way in stencil technology, being the first company to introduce Fiber Diode lasers into North America. With more than 30 experienced CAD designers, their strength is the support they provide in stencil modifications, materials and thickness recommendations. StenTech offers a complete array of stencil technology, custom-tailored to suit your manufacturing requirements. They manufacture all types of stencils for the SMT industry.

LOS ANGELES ― Pemtron Technology, an inspection equipment developer and supplier, is gearing up for the 2023 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place Jan. 24-26, 2023 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. The company plans to bring a full line up this year: Saturn 3D Inline Solder Paste Inspection System, Athena 3D Automated Optical Inspection System, TWIN 3D Automated Optical Inspection System, TROI 8800 CI Series Conformal Coating Inspection System and Mercury Automated X-ray SMD Counter. Be sure to visit Booth #2314 during the IPC APEX EXPO.

Pemtron’s Saturn 3D Inline Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) System features Moiré technology, combining 2D color images with 3D measurement data. The result is more accurate and realistic 3D inspection images unlike conventional methods that display the solder paste through a color map only. With quad projection, 10/15 or 18um resolution a 4MP camera (optional 10MP) and three-stage conveyor (rail extensions optional), the Saturn is the most advanced 3D SPI system.

The Athena 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) System uses 12-way projection for 3D measurements on all models to minimize errors due to shadow effects, and performs 100 percent of 2D & 3D inspection concurrently in all FOV areas. This significantly reduces false calls while providing near-perfect detection. The system offers 10/15 or 18um resolution, a 10MP camera (optional 12MP) and a three-stage conveyor.

Also on the AOI side, Pemtron will showcase the TWIN 3D AOI system for top/bottom double-sided simultaneous inspection. Pemtron’s new head type has been upgraded for 3D formation that is identical to the real image and is more stable.

Pemtron’s TROI 8800 CI Series Conformal Coating Inspection System with optional inline Coating Thickness Measure provides the most reliable conformal coating inspection. With simple programming, the machine can inspect defects like cracks, coating voids, wrong coating thickness (too-thin or too-thick).

The Mercury Automated X-ray SMD Counter provides real-time data with Artificial Intelligence. The system offers a reel capacity of up to four 7” reels or a single 13” reel, a scanner and label printer interface, real-time ERP reporting and annual stock through barcode monitoring.
