Advanced Rework Technology (A.R.T.) has produced a best practice guide to Surface Mount Technology (SMT) that provides insights and practical advice to help optimise the assembly line.

The SMT guide covers: solder paste application; component placement; reflow soldering; automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray inspection, and maintenance. It also suggests that to enhance the efficiency and quality of an SMT assembly line, Lean Manufacturing principles which focus on reducing waste, minimising setup times, and improving overall workflow, should be considered.

Adds McDade: “Skilled operators are very valuable, so it is vital to keep your personnel up to date with the latest thinking and practices. A.R.T. delivers training that ensures that your electronics assembly technicians perform to the best of their ability – and develop their skills using best practice.”
