LOS ANGELES -- P. Kay Metal today named Tamura
Corp. of Korea and Tamura H.A. Machinery will
distribute the company's molten solder surfactant in Korea and North America.
Tamura president James Kim stated,
"We have been searching for ways to assist our customers eliminate solder dross,
especially with expensive lead-free alloys, and this partnership with P. Kay
Metal will allow us to bring this new technology to them."
Larry Kay, president of P. Kay Metal, said, "We are
very excited with the possibilities afforded us by the addition of Tamura
Corporation of Korea and Tamura H.A. We look forward to
the additional opportunities created by partnering with this well-respected
group with such extensive wave soldering experience."
More equipment debuted at IPC Apex today than any
trade show in recent memory. As usual, the placement machines grabbed the headlines, and with good reason: some are pushing 100,000 cph placement rates. Another exciting development was Viscom's combination x-ray/AOI machine.
Still, the show itself is more modest than in years past.
