[August 29, 2011— Taipei, Taiwan] Test Research, Inc. (TRI), a leading test and inspection systems provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, is proud to announce its upcoming cooperation with Speedline Technologies at NEPCON South China 2011. Held from August 30 to September 01 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, China, the exhibition presents an ideal opportunity to share the outcomes realized from the cooperation between TRI and Speedline Technologies with the show’s attendees and visitors. 
 
Throughout the show, the world’s fastest inline, shadow-free solder paste inspection (SPI) system, the TRI TR7007, will be co-exhibited with a Speedline Technologies MPM Momentum+ Stencil Printing System, which features best-in-class cycle time, accuracy and repeatability, to demonstrate closed loop process control capabilities. With a large number of PCB assembly defects originating during the printing process, closed loop process control enhances communication between the printer and the SPI system to reduce rework, optimize yields and contribute to improved product line efficiency. 
 
The TR7007 offers full 3D inspection of area, volume, height, shift, peak height, shape, deformation, registration, bridge, and foreign materials at a maximum 160cm²/sec at 14µm. With a 10µm resolution, the TR7007 meets the requirements for fine-pitch PCBAs and other speed-critical applications. The system even offers repeatable and accurate results on small CSP, 0201 and 01005 component inspections at an optimal price/performance ratio. 
 
Visitors are encouraged to visit booth C 06 in Hall 1 to view system demonstrations and speak with TRI representatives. To make an appointment to meet with TRI at NEPCON South China 2011, please contact shenzhen@cn.tri.com.tw or sales@tri.com.tw.
