    More yield, performance and quality through innovative laser technology
    Dirk Bäcker - Senior Sales Manager - LPKF

    Due to a continuously improving price-performance ratio and numerous technological advantages, laser systems are being used for more and more applications, particularly in depaneling. Gentle processing and the technically clean separation process can significantly reduce both stress and residues and therefore reject rates. Increasing application requirements in terms of quality, accuracy and reliability can be met without restrictions now and in the future.

    AI applied to AOI: the Power of Neural Network-Based Solutions
    Stilianos Pelagidis - EMEA Sales Manager - Delvitech

    In a world where artificial intelligence is becoming commonplace and many claim to integrate AI into their solutions, distinguishing truly AI-based technologies has become increasingly challenging. Developing genuine AI solutions involves creating entirely new technologies that push the boundaries of traditional optical inspection.

    This talk will delve into Delvitech's innovative technology, demonstrating how AI enhances optical inspection, simplifies the work of line operators, boosts First Pass Yield (FPY), and reduces false calls, all while maintaining exceptional ease of programming.

    But not only. We will explore how AI is revolutionizing PCB inspection by enabling the detection of previously unseen elements, such as transparent glues and extremely small metal components.

    Who is the largest electronic component distributor?
    Dennis Dahlgren - Editor In Chief - Evertiq

    Electronic components are essential in our daily lives, with manufacturing and demand spanning the globe. Developers often require specific components that may not be readily available from a particular manufacturer. This is where distributors come in, acting as crucial links between manufacturers and developers. Nowadays, distributors do more than supply components and mediate transactions—they also provide a variety of additional services to both manufacturers and buyers.

    Distributors are continuously improving and expanding their global sales networks to offer customers a wide range of components and a seamless supply chain, while also solidifying their market position. But who is the biggest electronic component distributor? Which companies can be found in the top 10 in terms of revenue? Is the list dominated by Americans?, Chinese? or perhaps Europeans?

    Evertiq will tell all during Evertiq Expo Berlin.

    The presentation will be held in English.

    Different laser-based solutions for the production of FR4 and ceramic based substrates
    i. A. Woo-Sik Chung (Hr.) - Industry Management Mobility - TRUMPF Laser- und Systemtechnik AG

    This presentation will provide an overview of applications for metal-ceramic substrates and printed circuit boards that play a central role in the field of electromobility.

    First, the requirements for these components will be discussed in detail and an innovative optical concept and the use of a laser with a wavelength of 515 nm are examined.

    The material-specific complexities in the welding of metal-ceramic substrates are considered. To this end, an analytical approach is followed using techniques such as micrographs and ultrasound microscopy.

    Secondly, this presentation will show laser welding applications on printed circuit boards. For example, flexible cables can be joined to PCBs with maximum productivity.

    Thirdly, we show an insight into an automotive series application for power electronics that we have developed with a partner and which combines many of the applications shown.
