Rehm Offers Collaborative Prototyping at Tech Center


Blaubeuren-Seissen, Germany — Rehm Thermal Systems offers its customers not only high-quality and energy-effi- cient systems for industrial production of electronic com- ponents, but also comprehensive and expert advice, as well as qualified support for all process steps in future- oriented electronics production.


state-of-the-art equipment for a complete SMT production line, the center includes solder paste printing, 3D paste in- spection, placement, and reflow equipment. This allows customers to work with Rehm’s application specialists to fabricate assemblies that can be used to determine optimal process parameters and, at the same time, analyze prod- ucts using a variety of microscopes, and 2D or 3D X-ray (laminography or CT). Following successful prototyping, test series can be run with the exact parameters. The entire test setup, such as temperature and


residual oxygen loggers, calibrated equipment bench- mark boards, such as the vacuum PTP, high-speed cam- era and more, can be commissioned as a service with ap- plication specialists for customers’ own system and process investigations. Where the soldering stops, the protective coating be-

Leader Tech Celebrates 20 Years with HEICO


Tampa, FL — Leader Tech is cele- brating its 20th year in business with HEICO Corporation. Laurans Mendelson, CEO, and Victor Mendel- son, co-president, HEICO, along with Tracy Kuhns, president of Leader Tech, were all in attendance at a for- mal event to recognize the landmark occasion. The celebration was held at Leader Tech’s global EMI shielding technology center in Tampa, Florida, along with employees and special guests, commemorating HEICO Cor- poration’s purchase of Leader Tech in June of 1999.

HEICO Corporation, is a successful and growing technology-driven aero- space, industrial, defense, and elec- tronics company. For more than 60 years, HEICO has thrived by provid- ing customers with innovative and cost-saving products and services. HEICO recently announced that its board of directors declared a regular semi-annual cash dividend for the 82nd consecutive time.
