Here is a sampling of the services ACI offers:
+ BGA Inspection, Rework and Repair
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: One Day
Course Overview
Manufacturing with Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages generally offers high, first-pass process yields. However, process errors do occur and there is the likelihood of a solder joint defect (insufficient solder, bridging, solder balling, etc.) under the BGA that will require the removal and replacement of the BGA component. If BGA rework requires the removal of the component, special considerations must be taken into account. For instance, excessive heat or improper removal techniques has the potential to cause damage to surrounding lands, other components, or the PCB itself. Rework requires sound practices, proper tools and quality training.
Who Should Attend
This course is geared towards manufacturing, process and quality engineers responsible for implementing and/or controlling the BGA application and inspection process. Those personnel responsible for training operators and technicians to perform BGA assembly inspection or control the manufacturing process would also benefit from this course.
+ Soldering Techniques for Electronic Assemblies
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: One Day
Course Overview
The intent of this course is to provide the knowledge and hands-on training necessary to master the basic techniques of soldering for electronic assemblies. Individuals will learn the necessary skills to hand solder reliable electronic assemblies. This course combines classroom lecture with a practical lab to gain hands-on training in basic soldering techniques. An ACI Technologies Certificate will be awarded to all students at the end of the course.
Who Should Attend
This course is geared toward engineers, technicians, and electronic assemblers with limited hand soldering experience or those who want to improve their knowledge and raise their standard of skill.
+ Lead Free Manufacturing Training
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: Two Days
Course Overview
New lead free electronic manufacturing processes must be developed and implemented to eliminate lead from the electronics assembly process. Approved legislation, coupled with new commercial market pressure from Asia and Europe is forcing electronic manufacturers to consider new processes, materials and techniques to meet this challenge. ACI, a National Electronics Manufacturing Center of Excellence, has developed a comprehensive training program to provide lecture and hands-on factory experiences to support this endeavor. The course objective is to introduce participants to the technical challenges of developing and implementing lead free soldering into an electronic manufacturing production environment and provide application specific solutions to address each issue.
Who Should Attend
Everyone responsible for the development and implementation of lead free solder into their manufacturing production and rework/repair processes.
+ Profiling and Solder Reflow
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: Two Days
Course Overview
ACI Technologies offers multiple training courses about the business of electronics assembly;
this course is intended to provide personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to set up
and operate a reflow process. Upon completion of this class, students will be able to apply
their knowledge of reflow soldering techniques by successfully identifying the heat transfer
modes and systems for each reflow method covered.
Who Should Attend
Engineers, technicians, quality assurance personnel and managers can familiarize themselves with the various processes, equipment, analytical tools/materials used in establishing and refining an effective time-temperature profile. This course is ideal for senior technicians, engineers, and supervisors/group leaders desiring to increase their knowledge of electronics manufacturing through both classroom discussion and hands-on experience.
