Made-in-USA EMS Gets Boost from Made-in-USA YESTECH 3D AOI
By Michael Bowling, President, Trenton Systems T
here is no one-size-fits-all pro- duction solution for rugged, high-reliability computers. Cus -
tom ization is key for the high-per- formance, long-life PCBs used in mili- tary and aerospace devices. With headquarters near Atlanta, Georgia, Trenton Systems designs and manu- factures board-level products and in- tegrated computer systems for gov- ernment, defense, test and measure- ment, industrial automation, GPU computing, medical, video display walls, communications, video process- ing, and energy applications. The company has designed and
manufactured rugged, military and modular rack-mount computers and industrial servers since 1989. The servers use Trenton Sys-
tems’s U.S.-made single-board com- puters, backplanes and embedded motherboards for critical computing systems. In order to more carefully control the quality of its products, with specific requirements and limit- ed functional testing before ship- ment, Trenton looked to upgrade its AOI systems.

range of boards for its customers that vary in both volume and complexity. These are used in applications from electronics for toys with very few placements, to aerospace applica- tions with thousands of placements, and everything in between. “We needed a way to ensure that
component and solder joint inspection was always being done the same way,” says Wheeler. “That’s where our Nord- son YESTECH 940 3D AOI machines come in.” Trenton chose YESTECH because the cost and performance of the systems was right, and because the company is a U.S. manufacturer, based in Carlsbad, California. YES - TECH offers AOI systems with inte- grated yield enhancement solutions for the PCB assembly and semicon- ductor packaging industries. Trenton Systems purchased two

The new systems are running at full speed, and have constantly im- proved as YESTECH further develops its software. In fact, the machines are running faster with the 3D capability than was
