Are Your Operators Causing Failures?

The soldering techniques found in most solder training were developed for soldering wires to vacuum tube sockets. Those techniques seriously damage modern components.

How Much Assistance Do You Want?

Every client has unique wants and needs. Our job is to tailor our services to those wants and needs.

For some clients, the best fit is simply training (with or without certification) of operators and technicians.

Other clients want more including education of engineers, process development and hands–on process troubleshooting.

No project is too small or too big. We will design a solution that meets your needs.

We come to you no matter where you are in the world. Our clients are located in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

Please use this form or give us a call at (727)866–6502, extension 21 and tell us what you need. We will do the rest.

Electronics Manufacturing Sciences has immeasurably helped our organization improve its soldering processes with both a practical and common sense approach to problem solving and continual improvement. Additionally, EMS support in helping educate both our customers and suppliers has proven invaluable.

Science of Soldering^© training is excellent and is provided to everyone at Tecnologias de Flujo associated with soldering.

Let me put it this way: I’m an electronics engineer and yet, even with all the training and experience I have had in the field, after completing the course I realized I hadn’t really
known how to make a reliable soldering joint. The training helped me put together theory and practice and understand soldering from a “hands on” perspective.

It was great to discover that perfect soldering can be easily achieved by simply following the EMS soldering “Recipe.”

Science of Soldering^©

Results Far Beyond
All Other Solder Training

Science of Soldering^© is the unique approach to soldering education that delivers fast and easy increases in efficiency and product reliability far beyond what can be achieved with other training. The program is often combined with IPC-A-610 and IPC-ANSI-J-STD-001 soldering certification to achieve greater understanding of and compliance with the IPC requirements.

Science of Soldering^© is genuine education for operators and engineers. Through experiments and demonstrations, the course explains the essential science, exposes the myths, and develops a powerful “recipe” for perfect soldering.

Every Plant Suffers From Imperfect Soldering

Soldering in almost every electronics assembly plant suffers from defects, inefficiencies, excessive costs of materials and/or equipment. But few plants realize they are underperforming because they are comparing themselves to competitors whose processes are exactly the same and are also underperforming.

Some of the reasons for these problems, include:

Knowledge confined to a few specialists rather than spread throughout the company
Training rather than educating (telling people what to do but not providing the knowledge to understand their jobs and perform well)
Belief that touchup and rework are acceptable and unavoidable rather than costly, unreliable and avoidable
Using jargon rather than simple language; the jargon gets in the way of effective meetings and decision–making
No single source to obtain a simple yet thorough education in the science of soldering
Lack of access to information about global best practices

The EMS Solution

We dedicated ourselves to creating the teaching tools and support materials that would:

Make soldering simple
Allow everyone to understand and use the core science to improve processes, and
Break down the organizational barriers to success

Education Through Experiments and Demonstrations

The course teaches by troubleshooting a complex hands–on soldering process problem. In solving the problem (which involves several causes rather than a single root cause), the class learns the critical scientific forces that control all soldering from simple hand soldering to the most complex machine soldering.

Every class — for operators, engineers and managers — begins with this basic knowledge development. Operator classes then focus on further skills development and comprehension of reliability requirements (click here for a typical curriculum). Engineering sessions then go into the science in greater detail and explain machine soldering and process management (curriculum) including hands–on shop–floor implementation assistance. The result is that everyone in the company shares the same basic knowledge and terminology. Operators, who generally see their function as reworking/touching up defects, gain the confidence and ability to report process and materials issues to engineers for corrective action.

Yes, Science of Soldering does make control of the soldering process easy. But it also improves inter–departmental communication, develops problem–solving skills, generates curiosity and a willingness to question every aspect of the organization. In short, it does everything lean manufacturing wants to do but Science of Soldering^© works much faster and more effectively than generic lean because the approach is specific to electronics manufacturing.

Science of Soldering^© is not like anything you have ever experienced. It is so different that the only way to truly appreciate how and why it works is by experiencing it. For more information, including our unique risk–free guarantee, please use this form or call (727)866–6502 extension 21.
