How to Solve Electronics Quality Challenges While Streamlining Workflows
See how combining metrology and microscopy technologies can increase efficiency and reduce costs. The growing demand for miniaturization and high-density interconnects make it increasingly difficult to identify defects, meaning a need for inspection technology that can do traditional metrology applications and optical inspection tasks in microscopy. Printed circuit boards (PCB) and printed circuit assemblies (PCA) need advanced metrology and inspection systems to build high reliability devices that are important for new energy vehicles (NEV), aerospace, spacecraft and medical device creation. Both metrology and microscopy technologies combine to fulfill high-end geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) tasks along with image analysis techniques required for new product development and failure analysis inspection. This trend helps manufacturers increase efficiency while saving on service costs and space. Agenda: Understand how trends in electronics and medical manufacturing affect quality assurance Learn how microscopy inspection and metrology work together to support electronics manufacturing Application experts offer inspection tips and example workflows Understand savings made on service costs and space

How to Reduce First Article Inspection Creation Time by 70–90%
First article inspection (FAI) creation is an essential element of quality control programs but can consume a significant amount of time. In this webinar, Rebecca Keller will discuss a tool that consolidates all requirements into an accountability checklist, keeping drawing and inspection sheets in sync. Automatically capture sheet and zone and identify bill of materials (BOM) and specifications for a complete and accurate report. This software exports a professional ballooned print as a PDF and can output to your customized Excel spreadsheet. In this session, Discus Software will go over how to reduce quality escapes that occur from overlooking requirements. Failing results are flagged in real time and any missing FAIR AS9102 data is also flagged for compliance to the standard. Easily renumber balloon sequencing and change between imperial and metric unites as required by your customers. Learn how to seamlessly import your coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) data to validate each result and easily flag non-conformances. Use any CMM in your shop to create result data and automatically populate the designed tooling. The tool to discuss will assist you in keeping up with the growing prevalence of 3D modeling in manufacturing. Using the product manufacturing information (PMI) of the model, this software extracts the geometry and notes from the model to create views with ballooned data and exports to the inspection sheet. Agenda: Error-proof each FAI for accuracy and customer approval Eliminate the need for manual data entry Use your CMM output to populate FAI actuals Address your customer's requirement for model-based definition (MBD)
