SMT topics in focus

In order to accelerate commercialization of new technology, C2MI’s goal is to reduce the risk associated with product and process by purchasing an equipment set that was capable of everything. The ASM advanced assembly line delivers on these C2MI objectives. From metric 0201 placement to closed loop 5D solder paste inspection to Hermes and CFX capability for Industry 4.0 compatibility was essential.
Inaugurated in 2012, the MiQro Innovation Collaborative Center (C2MI) is a R&D facility in Bromont (Québec), Canada. They began its existence with a heavy emphasis on MEMS, advanced packaging, and characterization and reliability testing of microelectronic parts. C2MI has relationships with many of the world’s most forward-thinking technology companies. They are actively working on several advanced technology projects and counts nearly 300 organizations within its partner ecosystem. C2MI are closing the gap between innovative ideas, proof of concept and manufacturability.
The ASM line is instrumental in helping them bring conceptual technologies to manufacturable reality. Thus, C2MI acquired capabilities of the ASM Assembly Systems’ DEK printing, SIPLACE placement and ASM ProcessLens SPI platforms for its expanded capability. “We are placing metric 0201s, working with flexible circuits and pushing the limits of the line’s changeover capability. Accuracy and repeatability have been excellent, and the performance is exactly what we wanted from a state-of-the-art solution,” explains Sylvain Yergeau, C2MI specialist in card assembly and printed electronics, notes the positive experience with the line since its installation last summer.
