Nordson Electronics Advances Kamstrup’s Automation


CARLSBAD, CA — Nordson Electronics Solu- tions has announced that Kamstrup, a world renowned provider of intelligent metering solu- tions headquartered in Skanderborg, Den-

transition from traditional wave soldering to selective soldering to enhance automation and improve process control. The initial sys- tems evaluated, however, presented major space constraints — some proposed selective soldering equipment measured up to 29.5 ft (9m), exceeding available floor capacity. That challenge was solved with the SE- LECT Synchro. With a compact footprint of


KENNESAW, GA — ViscoTec has reached another strategic milestone in its global ex-


investment, Kamstrup conducted a production scale evaluation at Nord- son Electronics Solutions’ Valkens - waard, Netherlands facility, where hundreds of its PCBs were processed on the SELECT Synchro. The test allowed Kamstrup to validate out- put quality and ensure risk free adoption. “That helpful information con-


firmed our decision to invest in the SE- LECT Synchro with zero risk of not


achieving our production targets,” said Kasper Neubert, production engineer at Kamstrup. “After extensive planning and testing, we are happy to complete this project with such good results. If the Synchro system had not been available, we would have had to redesign our entire THT production line. Instead, we saved six meters in total line length, advanced our au-


tomation, and gained a 20% jump in output.” Contact: Nordson Electronics Solutions,

Mycronic’s Global Technologies


Acquires ETZ TEWKSBURY, MA — Mycronic’s Global Technologies division has acquired ETZ, a company based in Germany that manufac- tures test probes. The PCB test business line within the


Global Technologies division provides electri- cal test equipment for bare board PCBs. ETZ today supplies the majority of the test probes for the PCB test business line. ETZ currently has 34 employees and is based in Seesen, Germany, where production takes place. Pri- or to the acquisition, Mycronic owned 15 per- cent of ETZ, which will form part of the PCB Test business line within the Global Tech- nologies division. “Development and production of probes


used in our machines is a strategic key com- petence and asset for the PCB Test business line,” said Magnus Marthinsson, senior VP

SEHO Works with CERN


ERLANGER, KY — CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s most important and renowned centers for fundamental physics research. In its large-scale experimental facilities, scien- tists investigate the fundamental building blocks of matter and the underlying laws of nature. Some of the most complex technical systems ever built are used for this purpose. As part of a joint project, SEHO is cur-


rently working with CERN on a prototype system for a key process step in the produc- tion of non-insulated coils made from high- temperature superconductors. These super- conductors are considered as a key technolo- gy for high-performance, highly compact magnetic coils that will enable unprecedent- ed magnetic field strengths in future parti- cle accelerators, while also increasing effi- ciency. The project is part of the MuCol (Muon Collider) program coordinated by CERN and thus makes an important contri- bution to the development of the next gener- ation of accelerator technologies. SEHO contributes its many years of ex-


perience in the precise handling of liquid sol- der and in the design of stable, reproducible process sequences. A particular focus is on the controlled and process-reliable applica- tion of flux — a decisive quality factor for re- liable metallic joints and the functional in-


tegrity of the superconducting components. Contact: SEHO North America, Inc.,
