In developing it's innovative X-ray systems; Glenbrook Technologies draws on two decades of experience in the science of X-ray luminescent phosphors. Gil holds 20 patents and has published basic research papers in both medical and scientific journals.
As a member of the technical subcommittee IT2-31 of the National Association of Photographic Manufacturers (formerly the American National Standards Institute), Zweig was active in setting US standards for medical X-ray film and intensifying screens. He is also a reviewer for the technology transfer program of the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology.
In 1994, Zweig was named an "Inventor of the Year" by the Inventor's Congress and Hall of Fame at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, for the patented X-ray camera technology he developed for Glenbrook's inspection systems.
Topic Summary
Real-Time X-Ray Inspection has become a critical production and laboratory tool when analyzing the integrity of solder bonds of various type components assembled on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
While the most prevalent component type today are BGAs, X-ray inspection is also proving to be useful for a variety of other advanced packages like Flip Chip and CSP. Interpretation of these images or "signatures" can be a complex process, when they are correlated to process control issues.
Glenbrook, has been in the X-ray Inspection business exclusively for over 18 years, and has pioneered the use of X-ray inspection in electronic fabrication.
In past columns, I have emphasized what should be done to make ERP a good investment. It is very common, however, for companies to take a big leap of faith with ERP and supply chain management systems. Unfortunately, more than 90 percent of the companies that have implemented ERP have not had a truly successful implementation the first time around. Despite the recent rash of articles about the limited returns from ERP, however, the ROI potential is...
To most companies, conducting CS study is a bottom-line strategy. Companies try to increase their competitive advantages through CS studies. They also want to increase profits directly through...
SMTnet.com's Distributed Content Now Available At SMTA.org
The SMTA has teamed up with SMTnet.com to deliver Forum
content through smta.org. Most popular for their long-standing message
board, SMTnet.com provides a two-way exchange between providers and users of
the products, services, and information related to electronics
manufacturing. The SMTnet.comForum is the most active posting board in the
industry and now available at smta.org using Distributed Content technology.
The Forum on smta.org enables visitors to post and reply to questions and to
get answers directly from one another within the maintained graphic and
navigation layout of smta.org. Discussion topics range from technical
manufacturing processes to purchasing management; including design for
manufacture and contract manufacturing issues, the Forum provides access to
valuable content and an archival database of Forum entries.
SMTnet.com's Distributed Content technology marks a notably progressive
development for smta.org and is a good example of what the future holds for
Internet development in general, explains SMTA director of publications Jesse Katzman. Shared information and functionality can be exchanged
directly between two sites that are driven by similar Web-compatible
databases, and therefore dynamic information is able to be posted from
multiple locations with up-to-the-second timing. The idea is that the wheel
does not need to be recreated, and that a potentially extended audience is
not instead being divided between multiple, separate environments.
Also, the recently launched OnBoard Forum by SMTnet.com, in addition to the
greater Forum content, highlights prominent professionals in electronics
manufacturing to moderate discussions regarding timely issues affecting the
industry. Topics raised during these thought-provoking, live discussions
are reverberated in the Forum during the interview session. To date,
featured moderators have included Charles A. Harper, Author of Electronic
Packaging and Interconnection Handbook; Lee Goldberg, Author of Green
Electronics/Green Bottom Line; Bob Willis, Electronic Presentation Services;
Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, Indium Corporation of America; Erick Russell,
ViTechnology; Dr. Paul Vianco, Sandia National Laboratories; Robert Abell,
Rovell Enterprises; Jason Spera, Aegis Industrial Software; Bill Schreiber,
Smart Sonic Corporation; and Eyal Duzy, Orbotech.

technologies and related business operations.
