Spring 2017

Spring 2017 

Dear Electronics Colleague -

As we dive into another beautiful spring full of new growth and opportunities, I'm reminded of John C Maxwell's line "Everything worthwhile is uphill". Everything from training on a new skill, developing a new or more efficient process, expanding your team/relationships to share the heavy lifting, to climbing a freakin' mountain. Try something new this spring even if you think you can't or don't have time. I bet you'll surprise yourself.

Coming up on May 10th, BEST will be presenting at the Kester Rework Seminar in Itasca, IL. BEST MIT Norman Mier will be conducting a live demo on "Simple process for reworking leadless devices" and "Ultra-fine pitch rework (remove and replace)." 

If you are interested or to RSVP, please contact Michelle O'Brien (mobrien@kester.com).

Best Regards,

High Volume PCB Rework

Many times a very large rework project may not make a lot of sense. The labor costs are more than 50% of the board material costs, or the job is too large to get through in the required timing.

BEST has recently added a semi-automatic rework machine that can both deposit paste/flux as well as place parts at high speed. This new capability is meant for projects requiring the replacement of passive devices, BGAs/QFNs on a single board, or multiple boards. Find out more on our website.

Contact Laura Ripoli (lripoli@solder.net) at 224-387-3255 with any questions.
