Vision Engineering has teamed up with industry-expert Bob Willis to broadcast a free Electronics Academy Webinar aimed at identifying the issues affecting PCB/SMT assembly and the challenges of achieving Zero Defect Manufacture.
The next webinar, Lead-Free Temperature Profiling – How to do it will take place on October 17th at 2:30 EST.
This webinar will demonstrate how to correctly profile a printed board assembly with convection and vapor phase. Attendees will learn:
- Lead-free solder paste reflow and how critical profiling can prevent board failure.
- How to correctly profile a printed board assembly
- Tricks of the trade
- How to avoid the pitfalls of poor profiling
The topics covered in this webinar include:
- PCB assembly processes requiring profiling
- Selecting the correct thermocouple
- Mounting thermocouples
- Measuring systems
- Impact of design on profiling
- Component type and thermal demand
- Temperature profiles for adhesives, soldering & curing
- Process defects associated with incorrect profiling
