Considerable differences between conventional thru-hole and newer surface mount technologies have necessitated changes in assembly and rework procedures and processes. These present many new challenges to assembly personnel, technicians, engineers, and manufacturing managers.

SMT is still evolving at such a rapid pace that even veterans may need to update their skill and knowledge. SMT Assembly and Rework teaches the very latest assembly and rework techniques and instills the confidence and skill needed to deal with this changing technology.

This comprehensive, hands on training course, using state-of-the-art PACE SMT equipment, covers all aspects of the SMT assembly, rework and repair processes.
