SMT - Station Management assembly industry, announces the dates for its 2007 workshops. The workshops provide information on stencil printing processes, as well as how stencil technology and design influences stencil printing performance. The workshops are led by Dr. Bill Coleman, vice president of technology at Photo Stencil, and Mike Burgess, Photo Stencil's vice president. They feature case studies of unique applications, data generated by independent laboratory stencil print performance studies, as well as years of industry experience. "These workshops allow us to share our knowledge of printing processes and tools with our current and prospective customers," says Dr. Coleman. "Collaborating with this type of information gives all parties involved a market advantage." These interactive workshops target process/quality control engineers, supervisors, and managers and technicians who are involved with solder paste Solder paste (or solder cream) is a mix of small solder particles and flux. It is used extensively in the automated soldering processes wave soldering and reflow soldering. printing, process control, solder paste selection and the circuit board assembly process. Some of the general topics that are covered are print process, stencil technology, stencil design and applications, lead-free process impacts, SMT assembly, inspection tools, intrusive reflow (1) The process of heating and melting the solder that has been screen printed onto a printed circuit board in order to bond chips and other components to the board. Surface mount chips (SMT) use the reflow method. Contrast with wave soldering. See also reflowable text. and solder paste volume studies for measuring the print performance of electroformed, laser and chemical-etch stencils. These workshops will be presented in one day starting at 9:00 am, with a lunch break, continuing until 3:00 pm. They are held at the Photo Stencil, Colorado Springs headquarters and include a complete tour of the facility. The workshops will be held on: * Friday, January 26 * Friday, February 16 * Friday, March 23 * Friday, April 27 * Friday, May 18 * Friday, June 22 * Friday, July 27 * Friday, August 24 * Friday, September 21 * Friday, October 26 * Friday, November 16 For more information call Bill Coleman at (719) 535-8528 or e-mail bcoleman@photostencil.com.
