Pillarhouse Offers Selective Solder Pump Options
Elk Grove Village, IL — For a number of years, manufacturers have dis- cussed the advantages and disadvan- tages of mechanical and mag- netic pumps in the selective soldering process. About 50 percent of selective machine manufacturers adopt each method. Pillarhouse has ad- dressed this with the simulta- neous introduction of its latest generation mechanical pump, together with an all-new mag- netic design. Customers of the Jade

Mk IV selective soldering sys- tem now have the option for either pump style to be fitted to the system. By utilizing the Pillarhouse quick bath change design, switching between the two technologies takes only minutes. This gives the cus- tomer the benefits of both magnetic and mechanical pumps in a single soldering system. The new magnetic pump offers
a more stable and cost-effective de- sign than previous magnetic pumps. By using the improved pump, users also benefit from soldering methods
not currently associated with mag- netic pump designs, such as Pillar- house’s 0.06 in. (1.5 mm) micro-noz-

Mega Trends from CES and productronica

companions build relationships with humans, help children learn, assist the elderly or less able, do chores around the house, greet guests, and generally take a place as a part of the family. There was even a robot that you could cuddle to help you sleep.
The Smarter Factory While smart factories were not

on the agenda at CES, smart cities were. Companies such as Ford and
Bosch are looking to become the sys- tems providers behind smart city ap- plications. In fact, many vehicle makers see themselves shifting to- ward becoming connected, intelligent mobility providers, rather than just selling cars. The smart factory is a smart city
on a smaller scale, with the same needs for robust open architecture and platforms that allow applications de- livered by domain experts to coexist for the good of the entire system. Smart cities, like smart facto-
ries, are driving collaboration, anoth- er trend common to both shows. Any- one can see that the electronics man- ufacturing space is more collabora- tive and open than ever, and the tech giants are behaving the same way. Vehicle makers are partnering with AI companies, mobility companies and even governments to work to- ward a common goal. Companies in- cluding Intel and Nvidia are expand- ing their partnerships to manufac- turers, entertainment companies, major sports leagues, and retailers. I bumped into colleagues and
friends from many top-tier EMS com- panies. A few were exhibiting and some others took part in panel dis- cussions. The manufacturing indus- try needs to spend more time at CES. There is so much to learn, especially about customers. There is also a wide variety of technology on display that is applicable to manufacturing. CES’ 2.7 million square feet of
exhibits and 900 startup companies in Eureka Park highlighted the most groundbreaking technology of the year. Conversational AI, smart health care, smart homes, smart cities, industrial 3D printing, 5G net- works, and robotics all offer huge op- portunities for growth. r
