As is custom, with Pillarhouse, they will be demonstrating new equipment and innovations that once again show that they are the leading force in Selective Soldering technology.

These new features include: Increased board handing size; Enhanced PillarCOMM interface; Auto-nozzle Tinning System and Bottom-side instant IR heater.

With Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory being industry buzzwords at the moment, Pillarhouse will be demonstrating a running production line with a Smart Factory implementation. This line will consist of Pillarhouse 3-cell Fusion and Synchrodex Selective Soldering Systems, along with Simplimatic Automation's Board Load and Unloaders. This line will be running an implementation of Smart Factory 1.0 (Industry 4.0), with a real-time feedback of production line status. Pillarhouse are pleased to be working with the IPC helping create the draft IPC standard 2-17 (Data Connected Factory). This standard will produce a common framework for a Smart Factory implementation in the electronics assembly industry.
