TORRANCE, CA – Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services, will host an insightful webinar titled "Importance of Mechanical Stress Measurement for PCB Assembly and Mounting Process" on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST. The event will be presented by James Hara of Kyowa Americas, an expert in strain gage measurement and the effects of mechanical stress on PCB assembly processes.

Registration is now open! Join us for this informative session by registering here: Webinar Registration Link.

This webinar is part of Seika Machinery’s ongoing Seika Webinar Series, in collaboration with Kyowa Americas, and is designed to provide valuable insights into the critical role of mechanical stress evaluation in ensuring the durability and reliability of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

PCBs used in automotive, commercial vehicle, and consumer electronics applications are exposed to harsh environments that can affect their long-term reliability. Even the smallest crack in a PCB can lead to catastrophic system failure, making it essential for manufacturers to assess and mitigate mechanical stress and strain during the design and assembly processes.

James Hara will discuss the importance of evaluating mechanical strain in PCBs and provide an overview of strain gage methodology. This approach helps identify areas of high stress concentration, which can potentially lead to board breakage or failure. By examining real-world case studies, Hara will demonstrate how this technique can be used to enhance PCB durability and improve the overall engineering process.

This session is highly recommended for professionals in the PCB manufacturing industry, including engineers, designers, and quality control teams, looking to better understand the importance of mechanical stress measurement and how it can impact the success of their PCB assembly and mounting processes.
