Sono-Tek Corporation, a leading manufacturer of precision ultrasonic coating solutions, is excited to announce its participation in the 2025 IPC APEX EXPO, taking place March 18-20, 2025 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Located at Booth 2310, Sono-Tek will showcase its latest advancements in ultrasonic spray coating technology, celebrate 50 years of innovation, and introduce enhanced features and new partnerships.
This year marks two significant milestones for Sono-Tek: the 50th anniversary of the invention and introduction of ultrasonic spray coating technology and the 35th anniversary of applying this revolutionary technology to flux application in PCB manufacturing. Since 1989, Sono-Tek has been a pioneer in ultrasonic spray fluxing, continually pushing boundaries to enhance precision and reliability in electronics manufacturing.
Introducing Flow Monitoring for the SonoFlux Servo
At the 2025 IPC APEX EXPO, Sono-Tek will highlight the new Flow Monitoring feature for the SonoFlux Servo, offering advanced process control and data collection capabilities. This option utilizes a non-contact flow sensor for precise, real-time measurement of flux volume with an accuracy of ±15%. Designed for customers seeking enhanced quality control, the system:
- Actively monitors and records the volume of flux dispensed per board.
- Tracks historical data with the integrated data logging feature.
- Provides active alarms to notify users if flow rates fall out of range.
This enhanced capability ensures higher process reliability and facilitates improved monitoring and optimization of production workflows.
Strengthening Regional Support with SMarTsol Technologies Partnership
In early 2024, Sono-Tek expanded its representative network by partnering with SMarTsol, a leading provider of sales and service support for PCB manufacturing equipment in Mexico. Since 2012, SMarTsol has established itself as a trusted partner with a robust network of over 75 employees, including experienced sales and service engineers.
Attendees are encouraged to visit Booth 2310 to learn more about Sono-Tek’s ultrasonic spray solutions, the SonoFlux Servo with Flow Monitoring, and the company’s enhanced customer support capabilities.
