Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - Hands-On Lead-Free Workshop Scheduled in Atlanta

On May 25-26, Henkel Corp., Engent, KIC, Speedline Technologies and Siemens Dematic will present a two-day Hands-On Lead Free Technology Workshop in Norcross, GA. In support of the electronics industry's efforts to eliminate lead from products and processes, this program will provide participants with a broad knowledge of lead-free materials and a more complete understanding of the process requirements.

Unlike other lead-free workshops, the program will consist of hands-on training on the production floor, showing the process line, rework and building boards. Dr. Neil Poole of Henkel, Dr. Daniel Baldwin of Engent, MaryBeth Allen of KIC and Keith Howell of Speedline will lead the discussions on lead-free solder technology.

The workshop will offer electronics industry engineering management and staff including design, process, system and manufacturing engineers, an opportunity to learn about lead-free solders simultaneously from a solder developer and equipment manufacturers.

Workshop hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days. The program will be held at Engent, 3140 Northwoods Parkway in Norcross, Georgia. Registration for the program will be $495. Advance registration is required by May 10. To register, visit www.kicthermal.com.
