Reading time ( words)

Technica USA plans to present their full line of material and equipment products for both the PCB fabrication and SMT segments of their business at the 2017 IPC APEX Expo in booth #3449.

In the PCB fabrication portion of their booth, Technica will be featuring Chime Ball Technolgy’s (CBT) latest in Maskless Lithography technology, the Raptor 7000 Series. This technology is already being purchased and placed within the United States. A demonstration on the attributes of this technology will be conducted throughout the expo. In addition, they will be featuring three new products recently released by Elite Materials Company (EMC). These are the halogen free EM890 and the halogenated EM891 ultra high speed materials for 100 and 200GbE applications, as well as the EM 370Z, a halogen free very low CTE material for automotive and EV/HEV applications. Technica will also be promoting a variety of leading products from their other PCB fab partners including Fuji Film, Grace Electron, RBP Chemicals, Electra Polymers, Elga and Hitachi Dry Film, Kyocera Precision Tools, Wise Process Equipment, PAL, Teknek, CJI Process Systems, DMP Waste & Water Treatment Systems and Shurloc Fabric Systems. 

On the SMT side of the booth, Technica will be featuring more equipment than in previous years. They will again be featuring the E by SIPLACE placement equipment from ASM Assembly Systems.  The introduction of this equipment last year was welcomed with great success and is anticipated to have even greater success in 2017. This year, Technica will introduce the new E by DEK, a low-cost screen printer for solder paste applications from ASM.  The combination of the E by SIPLACE and the E by DEK will provide mid volume manufacturers with unprecedented performance and flexibility at an affordable cost.  They will also be demonstrating the new Teknek SMT surface cleaner along with a double-sided laser marking unit and a standard in line conveyor from YJ Link, a company offering a complete line of handling equipment for PCB assembly.

Hot on the heels of the news that U.S. President Biden signed a presidential determination in support of the printed circuit board industry, I-Connect007’s Nolan Johnson spoke with David Schild, executive director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America, about some of the expected implications. David points out, among other things, that this signals increased momentum with government and defense to support U.S.-based printed circuit manufacturing, and the possibility that a renewed interest in the industry by private financing could possibly follow.

The I-Connect007 team paid a visit to American Standard Circuits in West Chicago, Illinois. While there, we talked at length with CEO Anaya Vardya about the issues on his mind as he pushes technology, expands his floor space, and considers the implications of the CHIPS Act, staffing issues, and what’s happening in China.

At a recent industry conference, technical editor Pete Starkey caught some time with Ventec’s Mark Goodwin and Didier Mauve. In this conversation, Mark and Didier discuss Ventec’s work to curate their product offerings into functional categories based on function and target application. The pair also share their thinking on markets which they see as driving material development work. When material performance becomes an integral part of the PCB’s performance specifications, the traditional way of categorizing materials may not do the job.
