BANNOCKBURN, Ill., USA, November 14, 2008 - A record-setting 143 attendees got their hands dirty as they delved into the world of electronics assembly cleaning at the IPC - Association Connecting Electronics Industries® and SMTA (Surface Mount Technology Association) cleaning symposium held in Rosemont, Ill., on October 28-29, 2008.
"Much of the content shared was content not seen before," said Dave Torp, IPC vice president of standards and technology. "Presenters provided new research and fresh perspectives on cleaning and represented the full range of end-use applications for the aerospace and military, computer, medical and automotive industries."
Jim Raby, technical director of STI Electronics, reviewed history and looked to the future in his day-one keynote on the evolution of manufacturing residues and their effects on electronics assembly.
Day one also included discussions on electronic cleaning fluid designs and cleanliness assessment.
Linda Woody, engineering manager, Lockheed Martin, engaged attendees with her day-two keynote, representing more than 10 years of research, "Nozzle Design and Implementation for Cleaning Residues from High-Density, Low-Profile Component Assemblies." Additional presenters also covered cleaning machines, lead-free cleaning and cleaning process integration.
Said Woody, "Speakers were engaging and never marketed their products, but engaged in the business of getting better. They 'came clean' and were honest in their presentations and panel discussions. Attendees left the symposium with a clearer understanding of electronics assembly cleaning."
