Demand for plasma applications prior to conformal coating process
Due to increasing miniaturisation and packing density on assemblies Plasmatreat has recorded a higher demand for Openair-Plasma in combination with conformal coatings in electronic manufacturing. Plasma application as pre-treatment to conformal coating of assemblies and components ensures that the process window for conformal coating is widened, guaranteeing long-lasting connections and functionality.
The growth of automated industries in Germany compared to Europe
According to research by VDMA, in 2018, the German robotics and automation sector reached a total turnover of 15 billion euros, a 4% growth year on year. An impressive step up which solidifies that worldwide demand for robotics and automation technologies from advanced companies such as Germany, remains high.
X-ray inspection machine debuts at productronica
A compact, lightweight, inline 3D-CT automated X-ray inspection machine, the 3Xi-M110, for inspection of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) will be demonstrated at productronica in Munich (November 12-15) by Saki Corporation. The 3Xi-M110 reduces the dose and exposure to X-rays during inspection and features new soldering quality inspection functions for PCB assembly applications.

What are the top tips for maintaining a soldering iron?
When using a soldering iron, heavy oxides can build up on your soldering tip. One of the most important things to do for effective soldering, is to always maintain a clean tip to ensure the proper amount of heat is transferred to the area that you are working on and also to ensure effective wetting of solder to the tip.
