ASC International Launches A Yield Improvement Strategy for Post-Print Inspection

ASC International launches a Yield Improvement Strategy for post-print inspection as part of their overall service offering. �In this age of global competition, world class electronics manufacturers understand that increasing profit margins is only accomplished by increasing production yields. We want to offer our customers more information about how our unique 3D benchtop solder paste inspection systems can help them increase profit,� Jon Arneson, CEO/President, states.

A yield improvement strategy consists of making measurements at critical stages, as early as possible in the assembly process, and adjusting the process parameters to achieve optimal performance.

The two inspection options are either Human Vision or Instrumentation. Human Vision includes naked eye, magnifying glass/ring light and non-graduated microscope. Instrumentation includes graduated microscope, manual off-line inspection systems, automatic off-line inspection systems, dedicated in-line inspection systems and printer based inspection.

ASC International helps electronic manufacturers worldwide improve their production yield and profits. Using a portfolio of optical-based solder paste measurement systems and sophisticated process control tools, ASC International works closely with its customers to develop and implement yield improvement strategies that are guaranteed to work.

ASC International will showcase its core strategies by exhibiting at the upcoming APEX Tradeshow February 20-22, 2007 in booth #2112.
