Got Dirty Nozzles?

April 4, 2019

One of the most critical steps to a robust SMT process is having clean nozzles.


No SMT equipment can place components accurately and run efficiently without well-maintained nozzles. If the machine is either unable to pick parts consistently or hold on to the components during the transport from feeder to PCB, defects will result. An increase in defects means a decrease in production! Proper nozzle maintenance is critical for optimal placement productivity.


Are you experiencing any of the following placement problems?

Miss-picks   OR

Skewed placements

Then you may have dirty or contaminated nozzles, which require maintenance.

“Moore” Is Better with Heterogeneous Integration

As Moore’s Law slows, Heterogeneous Integration (H.I.) is emerging as the smarter path forward—combining multiple specialized dies (logic, memory, RF, power) into one compact, high-performance package. This blog explores how H.I. is transforming everything from smartphones to datacenters, and how advanced platforms like FuzionSC™ + High-Speed Wafer Feeder are simplifying complex multi-die assembly. The result? Faster development, lower costs, and better chips—built for the future.

“Fish-Eyed” Press-Fit Pins Challenges & Solutions

Traditional inspection methods fall short when it comes to next-gen “fish-eyed” press-fit pins—whose flared, asymmetrical geometry makes them nearly impossible to evaluate with 2D vision systems. One misaligned pin on a $15K board can mean catastrophic failure down the line. That’s why we’ve implemented precision 3D laser inspection across our platforms—combining upward and downward vision, sub-micron accuracy, and custom tooling to catch defects in real time and ensure flawless placement the first time, every time.
