SUMMARY:SMT Assembly Troubleshooting and Process Optimization at STI Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Course Instructor:             Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall \nCourse Time:                      8:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. \nSMT Assembly Troubleshooting and Process Optimization – Lessons Learned from the Trenches and a Decade of Board Talk \nDescription of the Course \nIn over 30 years of consulting\, Phil and Jim have just about seen it all! You may be familiar with their popular podcast (started before podcasts existed)\, Board Talk\, which addresses industry issues with deep understanding and a sense of humor. Join the “Assembly Brothers” for a journey through troubleshooting the most common defects in SMT with an emphasis on identifying the fundamental root causes\, and an entertaining overview of SMT assembly process optimization techniques. \nTopics Include: \n\nWhy do we get voids in certain solder joints?\nDo we need to clean No-Clean residues before Conformal Coating?\nWhat is Causing Intermittent BGA Failures?\nShould We Measure Solder Paste Thickness?\nAre there effective countermeasures to “new” defects such as “Graping”\, HoP\, etc.?\nShould we consider changing to a newer Solder Paste formulation?\nWhat are the Pros and Cons of Cleaning No-Clean?\nWhat are potential issues with introducing Ultra-miniature chip components into products?\nDoes Your Assembly Line Suffer From Floundering Time?\nHow can we reduce tombstoning?\nCan We Skip Cleaning After Rework?\nWhat are the best practices for storing and handling PCB’s?\nHow to build a “proper” profile board to set up a Reflow Oven ?\nHow can we achieve adequate hole fill in wave soldering?\nCan we mix conformal coatings during rework?\nWill typical No-Clean residues pass an SIR Test?\nWhat causes “Icicles” during wave soldering?\nSolder pallets with titanium inserts: yes or no?\nOthers\n\nQ & A – “Stump the Chumps”: Jim and Phil answer process questions from participants \n

SUMMARY:Understanding and Implementing Best Practices in Electronic Assembly Processes” Workshop at STI Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Jim Hall and Phil Zarrow of ITM Consulting will present world renowned  “SMT Assembly Boot Camp” workshop at STI Electronics\, Madison\, AL \n  \nITM Consulting is well-known for their capabilities and accomplishments in the field of electronic assembly processes\, materials\, and equipment.  In this workshop industry experts Jim Hall and  Phil Zarrow\, Principal Consultants at ITM will bring his experience and expertise to the forefront. \n  \nTaught by Jim Hall and Phil Zarrow of ITM Consulting\, this course drives awareness and solutions to the adverse impact that non-optimal assembly practices and processes have on the product quality and financial success of electronic assembly businesses. A comprehensive perspective on problem issues is developed for the most currently critical electronic assembly process\, materials (both existing and emerging)\, equipment\, procedures\, and methods. Most importantly\, practical solutions are presented. Key issues that consistently result in assembly problems and low yields are identified and resolved. This seminar is intended for anyone involved in directing\, developing\, managing and/or executing assembly line operations including managers\, line supervisors and line engineers involved in manufacturing\, design and quality engineering. \nThis course is intended for Manufacturing\, Process\, Design\, Test and Quality Engineering personnel as well as Management who are involved in the production of surface mount or mixed technology assemblies.
