A-Tek Systems Group in partnership with ASSCON will be exhibiting the Series Production VP6000 with Vacuum at the 2017 IPC APEX EXPO. Come see for yourself why ASSCON and Vapor Phase Reflow technology is rapidly becoming the system for today and the future! On a consistent frequency, we are proving the value of vapor phase methodology to new customers in eliminating common challenges facing our ever-changing landscape. While visiting us at APEX (Booth 1502), be sure to ask about our Large Production In-Line series of machines like our recently introduced VP7000.

kolb US exhibits on the IPC APEX EXPO 2017 in San Diego 07/21/2016 Event kolb US will exhibit a PS300 2HY Hybrid system, one of the most successful machines from kolb over the course of the last three years. “Technology’s turning point” is the motto of the IPC Apex 2017 from February 14 – 16 in San Diego. We will keep you updated about our contribution to the topic in January 2017. The exhibited PS300 2HY ist a Hybrid-Cleaner suitable for Screen, Stencil and PumpPrint cleaning as well as PCB cleaning. A perfect workhorse for small and medium size companies where it is not economical to have a full blown system for both mentioned cleaning tasks.

FACT OR FICTION: Which is better, Inline or Batch PCB cleaning? Today one of the biggest production challenges are to increase capacity by reducing operational costs. FACT: One production process that can make a big difference in cost reductions is PCB cleaning. Suitable PCB cleaning is a combination of Time + Pressure + Chemistry. When the parameters are properly set, cleaning PCBs in a batch mode vs inline, will ensure excellent results while saving operational costs in respect to power, water, and detergent consumption. At A Glance feature compares Inline cleaning vs Batch cleaning. Issue Inline Batch Explanation / Argument Handling time in transferring assemblies from the soldering line to the cleaning system Magazines   Cleaning Tray The handling time is exactly the same.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – New feature enhancements with the Asscon VP800 increases process efficiencies     Longmont, CO, January 9, 2015:  A-Tek Systems Group is pleased to announce the re-release of the Asscon VP800, now configured with the standard feature, Sensor Based Profiling. Assemblies to be soldered are placed on the VP800 work piece carrier in the loading zone and transported automatically into the soldering zone. Various assemblies can be soldered simultaneously by maximizing the enlarged 460 x 610 mm process window to optimize the process cycle time. As the assemblies transfer from the load zone to the vapor zone, the heated vapor will condensate on the assemblies initiating the heat transfer. Using the new Sensor Based Profiling feature, it is now possible to set […]
