News from Truth Electronic Manufacturing:
Yamaha Robotics introduces surface-mounter innovations
28 February 2026, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

These latest enhancements target automotive, aerospace, medical, lighting, and other demanding markets in printed circuit board manufacturing.

When do you need Nitrogen in reflow?
30 March 2026, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

Nitrogen in reflow soldering is often seen as a performance enhancer, offering improved wetting, shinier joints, and fewer defects. But it is not always necessary.

Yamaha extends surface-mount software toolkit
30 March 2026, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

The new tool, Print Param Decision Assist, automatically inspects the board file when loaded to calculate ideal printing parameters and troubleshoot existing settings.

Flexible three-process reflow soldering system
30 March 2026, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

By combining multiple soldering technologies within a single system, the Vision TripleX system enables manufacturers to adapt easily to different assembly requirements, board designs, and production volumes.

Robot series enhances repetitive production applications
EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

The Robots 9494 Series from Quick-Global are versatile automation solutions designed to enhance industrial workflows where precision and repeatability are key.

Understanding solder dross: causes and control strategies
EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Editor's Choice, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.

Pick-and-place versatility
EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

The Europlacer atom ii-A1 is a compact, ultra-flexible surface mount technology placement module designed to bring precision and productivity to electronic assembly lines.

PCB graphical repair system
EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

The GRS550 from Polar is a flying probe PCB repair system, designed to assist in repair and recovery of expensive boards with hard-to-find faults.

Yamaha Motor releases YRH10W Hybrid Placer
EMP 2026 Electronics Manufacturing & Production Handbook, Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services, Truth Electronic Manufacturing

This model is based on the YRH10 and is compatible with 12-inch wafers and capable of transporting large PCBs.
