ACE Selective Soldering Dual Nozzle Feature Wins Place in IPC APEX 2011's Innovative Technology Center (ITC)
Spokane Valley, Washington, USA - ACE Production Technology's innovative Dual Nozzle Feature for selective soldering has been chosen by a panel of judges to be included in the IPC APEX EXPO 2011 Innovative Technology Center (ITC). IPC APEX EXPO 2011 is the electronics manufacturing industry's premier annual conference and exhibition, attracting thousands of attendees from more than 50 countries. It takes place this year at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from April 12-14.
ACE's dual nozzle feature brings significantly greater flexibility and efficiency to the selective soldering process. The dual nozzle feature allows two differently-sized nozzles to operate in tandem, each one individually programmable, to handle a wide range of component types and sizes on an individual PCB assembly during the selective soldering process.
Thanks to this feature, an individual board with differently-sized components can be processed in a single pass through the machine, rather than two or more if different-sized nozzles are needed to process a single board. The need to change nozzles amid process is eliminated, and both nozzles operate within a single soldering sequence program, for simpler and easier setup and operation.
ACE Production Technologies will be exhibiting in Booth #500 at the show, and will exhibit its family of KISS selective soldering machines as well as the LTS Lead Tinning system. The Innovative Technology Center (ITC) will be located in the Bayside Foyer, right outside of the exhibit hall.
Alan Cable, President of ACE, said "This is truly an honor for us to be recognized in this way by IPC, and to join other innovative companies in the ITC. Our Dual Nozzle feature for our KISS Selective Soldering machines provides real process benefits for users in terms of speed, efficiency, and flexibility. We're delighted to see these qualities acknowledged by the industry."
