I.C.T Builds Customer Success through Service
DONGGUAN, CHINA — In the realm of SMT and DIP solutions, I.C.T has steadily distinguished it- self not only through its advanced technology and customized production lines but also through an unwavering commitment to customer service and localized support. For I.C.T, selling a machine is only the beginning-the real value lies in what
comes after. Under the leadership of CEO Henry Wang, the
company has developed a customer-first service strategy that integrates engineering expertise with global responsiveness. Whether the client is based in Southeast Asia, Europe, or North America, I.C.T ensures they receive the same level of care and technical reliability.
Quality and Service A recent project for a beauty electronics con-
sumer product manufacturer in North America un- derscores this commitment. The entire two SMT production lines and one DIP line successfully passed the customer’s rigorous Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) before shipment. During FAT, I.C.T not only verified equipment functionality but also supported trial production, yield analysis, through- put evaluation, and CPK testing for each key ma- chine —ensuring that performance met the highest standards. “Our goal has always been to make high-tech

BESIGHEIM, GERMANY — Weller Tools, a leader in hand soldering solutions, proudly marks its 80th anniver- sary in 2025. Since Carl E. Weller filed the patent application for the first transformer-based solder- ing method in 1941 and founded the company in 1945, Weller has consis- tently pioneered new tech- nologies in hand solder- ing, setting the industry standard for precision, re- liability, and perform- ance. To commemorate this milestone, Weller is launching a special black edition of the WE1010 soldering station and the ZeroSmog Shield fume extraction system, celebrating eight decades of innovation and progress in soldering solutions for both enthusiasts and profes-
sionals. For 80 years, Weller has led the way in soldering technology,
A Cool Fix for Hot Chips
TOKYO, JAPAN — The exponen- tial miniaturization of electronic chips over time, described by Moore’s law, has played a key role in our digital age. However, the operating power of small electronic devices is significantly limited by the lack of advanced cooling technologies available. Aiming to tackle this prob-

lem, a study published in Cell Reports Physical Science, led by researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The Universi- ty of Tokyo, describes a signifi- cant increase in performance for the cooling of electronic chips. The most promising modern
methods for chip cooling involve using microchannels embedded directly into the chip itself. These channels allow water to flow through, efficiently absorb- ing and transferring heat away
