hardware. According to SPEA, the plat-


form can be adapted for products including smartphones, wear- ables, home appliances and auto- motive HMIs. Test-program soft- ware supports product setup and can load the specifications and parameters associated with each unit or variant moving through the line. This flexibility is particularly


important in environments where new product introductions are fre- quent. Consolidating electrical, optical and mechanical verifica- tion into one configurable station can reduce floor-space require- ments, limit manual handling and lower the effective cost of test across multiple product families.


Microscreen Highlights Stencil Mfg. Expertise


SOUTH BEND, IN — As more electronics manufacturing moves into Mexico, Microscreen contin- ues to work with EMS providers and OEMs throughout the region to improve solder paste printing performance. At the show, the company will showcase its com- plete line of SMT stencil solu- tions, including laser-cut produc- tion stencils, step stencils, mini stencils and its MicroGlide® nanocoating technologies. For more than 45 years,


Microscreen has manufactured precision stencils for applica- tions ranging from automotive, aerospace and defense to medical devices,


Automation Through the Finished Product


The goal is not simply to au-


tomate one more inspection step. End-of-line testing brings SMT- style automation to the point where a PCB becomes a finished product. By making final functional


testing programmable, repeat- able and traceable, manufactur- ers can extend the same produc- tion discipline used on the SMT line into the final stages of as-

Have you ever wondered, “Is my ESD floor working the way it is supposed to?”


telecommunications,


semiconductors and industrial controls. Every production sten- cil is inspected using AOI, and the company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and ITAR registration. Visitors to the booth can


learn about MicroGlide Plat - inum®, Microscreen’s heat-fused nanocoating that helps improve solder paste release, reduces paste buildup and maintains its performance without flaking or chipping. The company will also feature MicroGlide, a wipe-on coating that can be applied in minutes to reduce underside cleaning and improve printing efficiency.
