Surface mounted PCB cleaning process improvement and Its impact on manufacturing system performance
In the surface mount technology (SMT) assembly line, the printed circuit boards (PCB) are washed to remove the solder flux that was used while soldering to prevent oxidation. However the current cleaning method is highly ineffective in removing these solder flux residues. The solder flux residues …

Impact of shipping Ball-Grid-Array Notebook processors in tape and reel on the PC supply chain
… a more efficient pick and place process on their surface mount technology (SMT) lines compared to when using trays. However, from Intel's standpoint, BGA CPUs have a very high product mix, and shipping BGA CPUs in trays allows Intel to ship in smaller order quantities to customers. Intel currently …

On-line non-destructive ultrasonic rheology measurement of solder pastes
In surface mount technology (SMT) electronics assembly, the solder paste is printed onto the PCB's surface through a stencil and the components are later placed over the solder paste deposits. Since 2007, the use of extremely small SMT components for assembly of SMT devices has been widespread, and …

Analysis of surface mount technology solder joints
The factors determining the quality of surface mount technology (SMT) solder joints are numerous, and complex. The exploration of these factors, and how they may affect the reliability and quality of the joints can only be achieved through continuous research. In this project, essential areas of …
