NEWELL, VA – ATC Diversified Electronics, maker of a broad range of devices for automation, motor protection, electrical safety, and power quality, makes remote process monitoring effective and affordable with SENSERT. With this cloud-based monitoring and alert system, a variety of sensors can be wirelessly connected via remote I/O or hardwired directly to the SENSERT base unit.
SENSERT works with any commercially available sensors that conform to the following parameters: 0-20 milliamp, 4-20 milliamp, 0-5 volt, or 0-10 volt. The system can monitor a variety of conditions including temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure, and more. Data is monitored in real time and can be accessed via web portal or mobile app. Alerts are triggered based on customizable thresholds.
SENSERT is appropriate for a wide range of applications, including agriculture, food and beverage, manufacturing, water/wastewater, and medical.
A manufacturer of cardboard cartons recently piloted SENSERT in its plant to help prevent unscheduled outages of one of its box-making machines. SENSERT was able to narrow the issue to worn bearings in an exhaust fan that removes dust particles from the machine.
By detecting the signs of bearing wear, maintenance teams are now able to schedule bearing replacement at convenient times and prevent shutdowns that were costing upward of $30,000 annually in lost productivity. The manufacturer now plans to deploy SENSERT in other machines throughout the plant.

LONG BEACH, CA – Aerospace and Defense applications in demanding environments have a solution now in TopLine’s Braided Solder Columns, which can withstand the rigors of deep space cold and cryogenic environments. They are a robust new ‘Next Gen’ solution to challenges facing large packages in electronics assembly.
On June 3 & 4, Martin Hart, President of TopLine Corporation and holder of multiple patents in the field of electronic components, will exhibit these remarkable breakthrough component solutions at Space Tech Expo 2025 in Long Beach, California in Booth #623.
“Braided Solder Columns are non-collapsible, robust and compliant electrically Martin Hart conductive connectors used for reducing stress caused by CTE mismatch between the component device and the PC board,” Hart says. “Columns are more reliable than solder balls, especially when connecting large-size chip packages to PC Boards operating in cryogenic environments. Additionally, they are available with lead for Aerospace & Defense applications, but also available in lead-free designs for RoHS AI Datacenters, for example.”
For more information about the show, visit SPACETECHEXPO.com.
TopLine will also exhibit examples of TANAKA Bonding Wire; TANAKA Precious Metals is the premier manufacturer of bonding wire to the semiconductor industry. TopLine is a supplier of TANAKA bonding wire for many semiconductor uses and for EV applications.

TROY, MI ― Amtech Electrocircuits, a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, announces that CEO Jay Patel has initiated a petition urging policymakers to implement a 10% tax credit for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) sourcing from U.S. electronics manufacturers.
This initiative aims to bolster domestic manufacturing, enhance national security, and stimulate technological innovation by incentivizing OEMs to prioritize U.S.-based suppliers.
“Our manufacturing industry is the backbone of the American economy, providing quality jobs and driving technological advancements,” said Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech Electrocircuits. “However, unfair trade practices and overseas competition have led to a decline in our industry. By introducing a 10% tax credit for OEMs that source from U.S. companies, we can revitalize domestic manufacturing, safeguard jobs, and strengthen our national security.”
The petition highlights the challenges faced by U.S. electronics manufacturers, including financial burdens imposed by unfair trade practices, and proposes the tax credit as a solution to incentivize domestic sourcing. By encouraging OEMs to partner with U.S. suppliers, the policy aims to create a more resilient and secure supply chain for critical technologies.
Amtech Electrocircuits invites industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to support this initiative by signing the petition and advocating for policies that promote the growth and sustainability of U.S. manufacturing.

Altus Group, a leading distributor of capital equipment in the UK and Ireland, has successfully supported Phoenix Systems UK Ltd in its investment in robotic soldering technology to further enhance its through-hole technology (THT) assembly processes.
Phoenix Systems, a Contract Electronics Manufacturer (CEM) based in Fareham, Hampshire, delivers electronic manufacturing services across several high-reliability industries including aerospace, defence, and industrial.
With a commitment to serving both low and high-volume production requirements, Phoenix Systems identified THT assembly as a key area for automation to increase production output and at the same time improve efficiency.
Following extensive evaluation, Phoenix Systems selected the Promation 9544CJ Pro Robotic Soldering system, partnering with Altus for its implementation. The advanced system features a robust hot iron soldering setup with a closed-loop temperature sensor, ensuring precise and stable tip temperature control. With a large 400 x 400 mm working area, the system provides flexibility for evolving manufacturing needs.
Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group said: “Robotic soldering was one of our most popular processes in 2024 as many sites are struggling with the same issues around this traditionally highly manual process. This project moved quickly, including air shipment into production, so getting Phoenix up and running was our top priority at the start of the year.”
Promation 9544CJ features a heated nitrogen soldering kit for lead-free applications, an automatic solder feeder, and a dual-tip cleaning station. Its advanced solder wire feeding mechanism reduces defects like solder ball and flux splatter, ensuring consistent quality. Localised fume extraction and precision control via Colour CCD ‘Witness Cameras’ further enhance efficiency.
“With any new customer, ensuring smooth implementation is key,” said Joe. “The Phoenix team’s technical expertise and preparation made the process seamless.”
Since installation, Phoenix Systems has seen significant improvements in THT soldering. “It’s exciting to integrate this technology into our facility. The unit enhances consistency and quality while reducing the skill level required for operation,” said Mark.
With Altus’ support, Phoenix Systems has strengthened its manufacturing capabilities even further and enhanced long-term efficiency with the Promation robotic soldering system.
