Basics of SMT: Training Manufacturing Personnel

Training manufacturing personnel about SMT pays significant dividends in the improvement in efficiency, communication, and the advancements they can make when they understand the basics of components, processes, equipment and terminology that we use when building SMT assemblies.

Building SMT products is significantly different from leaded technology products. Included in this course is information in straight forward terms on SMT components, process changes, steps in handling and building SMT and mixed SMT leaded assemblies. The standards are explained, plus information inspection, techniques, soldering and fixing the assemblies.

Training Personnel? This course is for you.

This onsite SMT training course can be held at your facility. Minimum class size is 5 to 10 students. Please email us or call (519)-260-0596 to request a quotation.

Who Would Benefit

This course is excellent for project managers, training supervisors, and any other personnel directly involved in making key decisions or using SMT.
