drives, a new off-belt printing process, innovative clamping systems, an advanced print head, and the unique ASMPT NuMotion controller with fiber-optic cabling. The understencil cleaning sys- tem (USC) with its own linear drives cleans up to 50 percent faster than traditional systems. For the best possible horizontal and vertical

SAN JOSE, CA — VERMES Mi- crodispensing has acquired Lern- er Systems, a Germany-based in- ternational manufacturer of con- tact-free microdispensing sys- tems. VERMES Microdispensing has acquired the rights and assets to the entire Lerner Systems product line, including electro- pneumatic and piezo-jet micro - dispensing valves, controllers and process equipment. “We think it was an excel-
lent transition for both parties. We will add the dispensing products developed and mar- keted by Lerner Systems to our portfolio of jetting systems,” said VERMES Microdispensing CEO, Juergen Staedtler. Lerner Systems’ product
lines are a perfect strategic fit with VERMES Microdispens-
ADRIAN, MI — Wacker Chemie AG is preparing to build a new sil- icone production complex at its site in Charleston, Tennessee. The Munich-based chemical group has already started a feasibility study. In a first step, it is planned to build production plants for high-consis- tency silicone rubber and silicone sealants, used, for example, in con- struction applications. In addition, plants are to be built for the man- ufacture of intermediates.
ing’s global position. They are an ideal addition to the fast growing company and its focus on dis- pensing challenging materials in industrial manufacturing proces - ses and helping customers meet their quality and productivity
targets. The Lerner Systems team
will join VERMES Microdispens- ing and add to the company’s overall dispensing expertise. The Lerner team brings
decades of expertise in develop- ing and manufacturing mi- crodispensing solutions for a range of jetting valves. A sys- tematic integration plan has been implemented. The inte- gration allows for the Lerner Systems to become a new product line within VERMES

Wacker to Expand Site in Charleston, TN In further phases, produc-
tion plants for other product groups could then be added, e.g. for silane-terminated polymers used as binders for formulating high-quality adhesives and sealants, liquid waterproofing systems and environmentally friendly wood-flooring adhesives. The capital expenditures ear-
marked for the entire expansion project,which is scheduled to take several years, are estimated to be
more than $200 million, thereby creating more than 200 new jobs at the Charleston site. WACKER has been producing high-purity polysilicon for the semiconductor and solar industries in Charleston since 2015. Since 2019, the site has also been producing HDK®

Rehm and Partners Host Technology
Days B L AUB EUR EN - S E I S S EN , GERMANY — Under the motto “Cutting-Edge Technologies for Electronics Manufacturing,” Rehm Thermal Systems hosted a two day technology event in ear- ly July. Initiated by Hilpert Elec- tronics and in collaboration with ASM Assembly Solutions and Viscom, the event included a lec- ture program, live demos, and various workshops. About 50 participants joined
the first face-to-face event held in Rehm’s seminar rooms since the start of the pandemic. It soon became clear that the personal exchange between experts and participants remains much more important than online options. After the guests were wel-
comed by Johannes Rehm, man- aging director of Rehm Thermal Systems, and Raphael Burkart, the programme got underway with a series of technology lec- tures by experts from Rehm, ASM and Viscom. The second day of the event
was dedicated to applications and practice. Split up into groups, the visitors were guided to three different workshops, where live demos walked them through the latest solutions in soldering, assembly and coating. The keynote lecture that
rounded off the second day of the event was given by Prof. Dr.-Ing Marco Huber, Head of the Centre for Cyber Cognitive Intelligence (CCI) at the Fraunhofer Insti- tute for Manufacturing Engi- neering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart. “We are very pleased that
face-to-face events in such a set- ting can be held once again and hope that this development will continue and that we will be able to discuss technologies and trends in electronics manufac- turing in person with the partic- ipants at many more events,” concluded Michael Hanke, gen-
eral sales manager, Rehm.” Contact: Rehm Thermal
