Since spring 2022 Rehm Thermal Systems has offered its customers a wide-ranging direct service in India. Sales and service employees in the industrial centres of Bangalore and Delhi support their partners on-site all over the country and round the clock. Customers benefit from direct support, decentralised parts hubs and simplified access to the Rehm Technology Centre in the Asian region.

International companies from Asia, Europe and the USA are all represented in the growing Indian market, including many customers of Rehm Thermal Systems. In order to act as a local partner to meet the growing needs for fast, direct support, Rehm is continuing to expand its presence on the subcontinent.

A dependable partner for support and service

Central to Rehm’s activities in India are direct sales, service and support. Global customers of many years’ standing, in India and beyond, along with hundreds of Rehm systems, rely on the smooth, direct support offered to them in the local and national language. One way that Rehm meets this challenge is with its own offices in the industrial conurbations in the north and south of the country. ‘We support service contracts, offer just-in-time support, are always available via our own hotline and provide assistance both digitally and on-site in person’, says application assistant manager Krishnamurthy Sreekanth of the comprehensive service offering. Not least among these services is the supply at short notice of replacement parts, thanks to a decentralised parts hub distributed across the entire country. Also of interest to customers in India is the straightforward access to the nearest Rehm Technology Centre in Asia.

Inspection, testing and evaluating: the Rehm Technology Centre

At the Rehm Technology Centres in Europe, the USA and Asia, customers can test their modules through the direct application of vacuum, condensation and convection soldering processes and dispensing solutions, create individual temperature profiles and, aided by Rehm’s specialists, define optimal parameters for their individual production processes. Equipped with the latest equipment, the Technology Centres thus offer all opportunities for reliable process evaluation and development.

REDDITCH, UK — Working closely with Altus Group, Sellectronics, a leading contract electronics manufacturer specialising in quick turn-around prototype assembly and low volume/high mix production, has recently invested in Koh Young’s 3D AOI inspection equipment to further enhance production.

Recognised for its innovative, high-quality PCB assembly, Sellectronics continually invest in leading-edge technology to provide assembly excellence. Looking for the equipment that would enable precise inspection, and best performance to price ratio to increase quality further and improve production times, the company approached Altus for guidance.

Jason O’Connell, Sellectronics Technical Director, said: “As the business grows, the company makes many investments in the latest equipment to improve processes and ensure we are capable of providing the most intricate PCB assembly service with the best possible accuracy.”

To help increase inspection precision, Altus recommended the Zenith Alpha HS+ from Koh Young. As a true 3D AOI solution, it is powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, combining the best optomechatronics and vision technologies to deliver outstanding performance without sacrificing accuracy.

Suitable for demanding production lines like those in Sellectrionics, Zenith Alpha HS+ greatly improves process yields by removing the need for manual inspection. In addition, the technology incorporates AI to deliver the accuracy required for ultra-fine pitch and solder joint interreflection challenges to enhance production. It also features KSMART, a measurement-based process analysis solution that allows for Industry 4.0 implementation with reliable full 3D measurement data.

Graham Tonkin, Sellectronics Director of Sales and Marketing, said: “Due to the precise and quantifiable measurement of the Koh Young platform, and by exploiting KSMART statistical process capability, our engineering process improvement and quality teams can aggregate real time production information. This not only removes the chances of an escape, but also to study our production processes in detail to improve our yields and drive our quality standards ever higher.”

Joe Booth, Altus Group CEO, concluded: “We are delighted to implement another Alpha HS+ system into the field and establish another new Koh Young user as the momentum of the new these innovative platforms keeps building. This equipment addition is just one of the investments that Sellectronics has made as they continue to deliver top quality electronics manufacturing.”

AVON, MA — The end of the year presents a challenge to many companies looking to get facilities improvements in before the end of the calendar year. When it comes to flooring that presents even more of a challenge. SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products with long-term value and immediate benefits, offers PolyStyle Factory ESD Floor as a budget, end-of-the-year flooring solution for a variety of manufacturing facilities.

“PolyStyle is a superior product that provides a cost-effective option for manufacturers and factories in need of an ESD flooring solution that can be applied with minimal down time and retain superior ESD properties,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech. “Since it’s an epoxy, it’s not dependent on the supply chain. A facility looking to put down PolyStyle could place an order and have the new floor applied within a month.”

Minimal downtime is but one part of the PolyStyle story. PolyStyle Factory ESD Floor distances itself from other epoxies in effectiveness. That starts with its composition.

PolyStyle ESD is a mutli-layer flooring system consisting of a primer/barrier coat, a conductive ground-plane coat, and a highly durable polyurethane ESD/color coat. This three-part system provides a highly reliable ESD floor system that ensures compliance with strict ESD standards like ANSI/ESD S20.20, with consistent system resistance and low body voltage generation.

“Older styles of resinous ESD flooring systems are often inconsistent and often fail ESD audits. PolyStyle uses the most advanced conductive additives to ensure that the finished floor has the most uniform electrical properties throughout the entire floor that are guaranteed for the life of the floor,” said Ricciardelli. “This gives flooring superior static control properties from the top layer through the bottom.”

PolyStyle Factory ESD Floor is used for warehouse, factory, and other sensitive working environments. Its benefits include: Withstands high-moisture concrete; excellent stain resistance; high point load resistance; and easy installation.
