3Xi-ZS1EX automated X-ray inspection system provides 3-D inspection of XXL PCB assemblies up to 1000 × 690mm. Features automatic board warpage correction, high-resolution 3-D CT imaging and AI-based image analysis for detecting small voids and hidden defects. Delivers approximately 1.6 times higher takt time compared with previous SAKI models while accommodating large boards within a compact footprint. For inspection of AI server, data center and other large, complex PCB assemblies.

BENGALURU, INDIA – Syrma SGS Technologies has formed a joint venture with Italy-based Elemaster S.p.A. Tecnologie Elettroniche to establish an electronics manufacturing operation in Bengaluru. The venture will operate as Syrma SGS Elemaster Pvt. Ltd. and establish a 20,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility in the Bommasandra Industrial Area. The plant will include SMT, through-hole technology and box-build assembly lines.

PLYMOUTH, WI -- Kurtz Ersa Inc. will host two back-to-back hands-on training courses focused on the Ersa VERSAFLOW 4/55 selective soldering system at its U.S. headquarters in Plymouth, Wisconsin, from Sept. 21–25, 2026. The program is split into two courses: Maintenance Training (Sept. 21–23) and Application Training (Sept. 23–25). Both sessions will take place at the Kurtz Ersa facility at 1779 Pilgrim Road.

The electronics industry is moving toward chiplet architectures, advanced packaging, and substrate-like printed circuit boards that demand sub-25-micron circuitry and sub-0.3 mm pitch placement. Yet no peer-reviewed solder print study has systematically evaluated stencil performance, paste deposition, and inspection metrology at the aperture dimensions these geometries require. The UHDI Consortium was formed to close that gap.

NASHVILLE, TN -- KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at productronica India 2026 in Booth C35 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), highlighting next-generation stencil cleaning chemistry KYZEN E5631 and maintenance and pallet cleaning chemistry KYZEN E5325. Every functioning electronic assembly begins with a clean stencil and every manufacturer relies on clean production machine parts.

BlueWave FX Line Emitters provide uniform linear UV/Visible curing for automated production applications. Deliver up to 4.2 W/cm² intensity at a 25mm working distance and are available in 75mm and 150mm lengths with a 25mm curing width. Offered in 365nm, 385nm and 405nm wavelength options and integrate with FX-series controllers for dual-channel control and flexible wavelength configurations. CE and UKCA marked.

PHOENIX selective soldering platform adds configurable options including a programmable nitrogen de-bridging knife with 360° rotation, 6" dynamic solder wave assembly, automatic nozzle tinner and integral N₂ purity analyzer. Dynamic solder wave enables conversion between selective and 6" wave soldering processes, while the purity analyzer integrates real-time nitrogen measurements into EmberX software. Available in batch and inline configurations.

Some innovations do not begin with a new machine. They begin with a simple question: How do you handle products that look different every single time? The answer was developed together. ASYS and Rohde & Schwarz created a flexible gripper system for the DIVISIO 5100 depaneling system that was specifically designed for this challenge.

Coherix 3D GlassMaster Tracker provides 100% inline real-time inspection and adaptive process control for adhesive dispensing. Tracks part-to-part geometry variations during dispensing and automatically adjusts the robot path to compensate for changes in glass shape, battery-cover geometry, adhesive viscosity and other manufacturing conditions. Records and verifies the dispensing process for each part to provide traceability for quality audits, warranty investigations and regulatory compliance.

SAN JOSE, CA ― Green Circuits, an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider serving OEMs across aerospace and defense, medical, industrial, semiconductor and AI hardware markets, has implemented Z2Data’s electronic supply chain intelligence platform to enhance component visibility, strengthen supply chain risk management and provide customers with greater insight throughout the product lifecycle.
