FREMONT, CA ―  Anda Technologies, a leading provider of fluid application and custom automated manufacturing equipment, today announced plans to 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 highlight its total selective coating and fluid dispensing line solutions along with the AP-3 Series inline surface plasma treatment machine in Booth #1533. Additionally, the IPC APEX EXPO will be the first show appearance for their TVS-400 tabletop precision dispensing machine.

Anda’s TSV Series are versatile, compact, high-speed precision tabletop dispensing machines designed for selective coating and fluid dispensing applications. Due to their compact size, these dispensing machines are easily portable making them ideal for low volume processes or laboratory tabletop applications.

The TSV Series is an automated, XYZ (3-axes) gantry system driven by ball screw and servo motors. This dispensing machine series is available in two different models with varying platform work areas and X-Y travel dimensions. The TSV-300 model is 300 x 300 mm and the TSV-400 model is 400 x 400 mm.

Anda manufactures and supplies total coating and fluid dispensing line solutions for RTV, heat curable, and UV curable material processes. Anda also manufactures a wide variety of conveyors and provides solutions for every level of automation for coating and fluid dispensing processes. Their One-Man Operation (OMO) total line solutions offer many advantages over traditional process lines. Product flow input and output can occur at the same location within the line, allowing conventional manual flip for coating or dispensing on both sides of a PCB assembly.

HANAU, GERMANY — Heraeus Electronics 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 showcase three innovative products designed to meet current and future SMT challenges. New solutions are needed to meet the increasing demands for miniaturization, reliability and TCO challenges.

Heraeus has answered the industry’s need, and will introduce the next evolution of Solder Paste to address these challenges in Booth #2419 during the IPC APEX EXPO.

The all-new paste system is a high reliability, high performance paste system with a competitive TCO offering. Based on proven experience of Heraeus Electronics, the new paste system allows a wide process window, enabling soldering in air with low defects. Additionally, it is designed to offer an optimized formulation for lower material costs. Moreover, the company will discuss its proven Innolot Solder Paste and mAgic® DA320 Sinter Paste.

Heraeus’ SMT 650 Innolot solder paste achieves a consistently high surface insulation resistance that prevents electrochemical migration. The combination of the flux system with Innolot alloy delivers superior reliability— especially in miniaturized systems in the automotive industry. In addition, the developed flux system can also be combined with SAC305.

mAgic® DA320 is a high shear strength, non-pressure dispensing sinter paste for die attach of power applications. With high thermal conductivity, it offers fast sintering at low application temperatures from 200°C and above to form quality interconnections.

NASHVILLE – Magnalytix, providing real-time reliability solutions for electronics manufacturing, 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 display its new Magnalytix® OE-300 SIR Testing System in Booth #1318.

Assembly operations invest substantial time and talent in developing and documenting their Qualified Manufacturing Plan in compliance with IPC-J- STD-001H by employing high humidity and temperature while biased testing. The Magnalytix OE-300 with Process Control builds on that QMP development by employing the same, approved, objective evidence testing techniques adapted to meet production area operation’s safety, tempo and economic considerations with results in as little as two hours.

The Magnalytix OE-300 is the first of its kind test system that enables assembly operations to quickly generate true objective evidence data during daily operations for effective process control. The electrical test method exposes the test board to elevated temperature and humidity, which mobilize undesirable process residues.

The Magnalytix OE-300 then detects the impact any mobilized metal ions have in the form of measurable leakage currents or fully formed dendrites, which can be the cause of intermittent or total device failure. That is the science inside the Magnalytix OE-300, but all you need is the native analytics to prove that your process is in control.
