70 SMT007 MAGAZINE I APRIL 2023
Over seven years ago, I put pen to paper to enumerate the
top challenges needing to be overcome for a successful BGA
rework. With the continued advancement of BGA technology,
it's time to apply a fresh coat of paint to that list. Read on to find
out my revised take on today's top BGA rework challenges.
Are progress and
evolution in the industry
driven by collective
hive minds, business
opportunity, and
thought leadership,
or is it just through
random events? I believe
it's all the above. The real question about
progress is better related to the strategy
of how we balance differentiation with our
contribution to common industry goals
that bring about business opportunity, and
then how we apply that same strategy
to the tools and services that we use.
In this engaging, 12-part micro webinar
series, Koh Young topic expert Ivan Aduna
examines the role inspection systems
will play in the next industrial revolution.
Viewers will learn about secure data
collection, AI-powered solutions to manage
and analyze
data, and how
to leverage IPC
CFX-QPL to
succeed in the
transformation
to Industry 4.0.

Given that the launch of a new PCB fab is a rare
occasion these days, we caught up with the senior
team who is guiding the buildout of Alpha Circuit's
brand new 44,000 square foot facility. They discuss
what goes into equipment selection and line
design, and the timing couldn't have been better.
