🔍 Unseen Solder Joints, See Them Clearly with X-Ray



Solder balls on the bottom of BGAs, solder run-through on the sides of QFNs, tiny voids and cracks—these details invisible to the naked eye are revealed one by one by STHL using X-Ray.



Not every board needs it, but when it does, it never overlooks any potential problems.

🇨🇿 A Successful Wrap-Up in Czechia｜Grateful for Every Connection



From March 17–19, 2026, STHL made its presence at AMPER 2026 in Brno, Czech Republic.


Over the three days, we had the opportunity to connect with clients, partners, and industry peers from across Europe — exchanging ideas and gaining valuable insights along the way.



A small booth, but meaningful conversations.


Thank you to everyone who stopped by — your time and trust made this journey truly worthwhile.



The fair may be over, but the conversations continue.


Looking forward to seeing you again — whether in Europe or back in China!

🏭 STHL Workshop Daily Life | Every Moment Adds to Reliability



This is our workshop, at its most authentic.



Machines run non-stop, workers are focused and organized, and boards flow silently between production lines. —Every position, in its own way, is writing a footnote to today's quality commitment.



📸 Moments Captured by the Camera Today

▪️ Preparation for surface mount line changeover, materials are being neatly shelved.

▪️ Colleagues are checking data at the first article inspection machine.

▪️ In the repair area, details are being re-examined and reinforced.

🔍 Precise Diagnosis of Every Circuit Board: How STHL Safeguards Product Quality with ICT Testers?


In electronics manufacturing, reliability begins with the most rigorous testing. STHL uses the advanced ICT TR518 SII tester to provide automated, high-precision, comprehensive "check-ups" for every circuit board, ensuring that every detail, from components to connections, meets design standards.


⚙️ Core Testing Capabilities
✅ Comprehensive Testing Coverage: Detects component parameters, circuit connectivity, and layout integrity.
✅ Efficient Automated Processes: Enables rapid and accurate testing through pre-programmed procedures, improving efficiency and consistency.
✅ Real-time Problem Alerts: Instant alerts for numerical deviations, facilitating rapid adjustments and optimizations on the production line.


📊 Empowering Quality and Efficiency
With ICT testers, we can identify potential defects early in production, reducing subsequent rework and cost waste, continuously improving first-pass yield and customer satisfaction.


🏭 At STHL, Testing is Not Just a Step, But a Commitment
We are committed to providing reliable and efficient PCBA manufacturing solutions to global customers through technological innovation and precision equipment.

What happens when a PCB design file lacks a Board Outline Layer?



During the PCB manufacturing quotation stage, engineers often focus on technical parameters such as layer count, trace width, and via diameter. However, an easily overlooked detail—the absence of a Board Outline Layer—can trigger a chain reaction in subsequent production. Although it doesn't directly affect cost during quotation, its absence in actual production is like a building blueprint lacking exterior wall markings, leading to a series of "hidden crises."





It is worth considering: When we pursue smaller linewidths and higher layer counts, should we also give the same design rigor to "physical boundaries"?



Interactive Discussion: Have you ever encountered problems in PCB design or manufacturing due to incomplete form factor information? What effective form factor communication experiences would you like to share?

⚡ When the multimeter probes drop, the circuit board begins to "speak."



Voltage values ​​are more than just numbers; they are the pulse of current, the breath of signals, and, more importantly, the first heartbeat of product reliability.



At STHL, every power-on test of a board is a dialogue with the soul of its design.

🔬 When Circuit Boards Undergo "X-Ray Inspection": How Does STHL Use X-Ray to Reveal Hidden Soldering Truths?



At STHL's inspection center, every circuit board undergoes a deep scan that pushes the limits of vision—the X-Ray inspection system, with sub-micron precision, reveals quality details invisible to the naked eye.



⚡️ Dimensional Analysis

✅ 3D Tomographic Scan

5μm resolution captures internal voids in BGA solder joints

45° tilt scan detects side solder integrity

✅ Intelligent Defect Warning

AI algorithms annotate bridging, cold solder joints, and offset defects in real time

Automatically generate evaluation reports compliant with IPC-7095C standards

✅ Quantitative Quality Control

Void rate calculated accurately to 0.1%

Digital modeling analysis of solder ball coplanarity

We not only detect defects, but also anticipate risks before defects occur.
