Global SMT & Packaging and IPC present
The Process Advice & Defect Clinic - Booth #1580


The Process Advice & Defect Clinic is led by international consultant Bob Willis, IPC lead-free auditor and workshop instructor

Those attending 2007's IPC, APEX & Designers Summit show will have a special opportunity to take advantage of the free "Process Advice & Defect Clinic" to be held at booth #1580, where free and unbiased help will be provided to assist them with common process problems, RoHS compliance & field failures.

Free Consultancy
Each day of the exhibition visitors will be able to visit the “Process Advice & Defect Clinic” with questions, process issues or defects for examination and discussion. This is an ideal opportunity to gain practical independent advice on the most common causes of production problems and field failure.

Stand 1580 is located next to the Global SMT magazines stand and adjacent to the IPC’s 50th Anniversary Technology Exhibition stand 1465.

Visitors are encouraged to bring board assemblies for examination or process problems for discussion. Inspection equipment provided in the feature area will assist visitors to better understand the process problem and suggested solutions.

You can also email today questions and problems to be answered during your visit to the show.

Special prizes
The best or most interesting process problem or question will be selected for a special prize package that includes a set of interactive lead-free training material, x-ray inspection and defect guide plus sets of inspection and quality control wall charts. We also have copies of the latest “X-Ray Inspection & Process Defects Guide” written by David Bernard and Bob Willis available for lucky visitors.

Process Defect Photo Guide
As a special feature for the show, a "Process Defect Guide" leaflet will be available at the show free of charge. The guide will illustrate many of the common defects found in manufacture and possible causes to aid your drive to zero defect manufacture. Many of the defects will feature lead-free manufacture issues and will be ideal for future reference. Printed copies of the defect guide will be available at APEX; a PDF of the guide will also be available by visiting the stand.

Defect of the Month
Each month leading up to APEX, we will be publishing a Defect of the Month to download. Each month we will provide a common process defect with possible causes and corrective action. You will be able to print out each defect of the month for discussion and dissemination in your company. To get you started thinking about defects, download our Defect of the Month challenge and solution for January.
