We’ll be featuring our new Air-Vac pick and place assembly machine – the ONYX29DB Semiconductor Assembly System.  This breakthrough new ultra-precise, semi-automated die assembly and bonding system is a table-top unit that can be used for assembling almost anything.  Super accurate, with multiple tools that can change automatically, you’ll want to stop by our Booth #302 and take a look!  Find out how this machine can give you versatility without limits.

Plus, PINK GmbH will be supporting the show with a V6-G, a table top platform along with Dr. Matthias Beß a Senior Process Engineer. PINK is a supplier of high-quality low-pressure plasma systems. They produce a wide variety of systems to meet the various markets our product portfolio addresses. The V6-G platform is designed for small series production runs, as well as R&D laboratories requiring low-pressure plasma treatment. Dr. Matthias Beß will be available during the entire show for discussion regarding the system capabilities and any potential customer requirements.

We will be exhibiting on October 11^th and 12^th along with more than 120 other exhibitors showcasing a wide range of new products serving the microelectronics industry, including consumer, healthcare and biomedical, military, aerospace, computing and automotive/industrial. We look forward to seeing you in the exhibit hall as we share the latest and best solutions to the changing needs in your business and research.

NDCI Adds ATI, Air Vac & MMC to Product Portfolio

Manufest a Success!

On March 16th Neu Dynamics attended a very dynamic initiative at our local Hatboro Horsham High school. The event was called Manufest and it was attended by over 270 students and parents.

The event was a <a href=”http://www.manufest.org/”>showcase of local companies </a>that are encouraging students to consider a career in advanced manufacturing. At the opening of the show we listened to Jeremy Bout speak about his career in manufacturing and he was amazing at getting the message across to the kids on a level that excited them.

Here is a quick promo on his work and his message:

I was so impressed with the students that took time to visit our booth. They asked very direct and smart questions about what a career in manufacturing, mold making and electronics would be like. I had one parent say to me, “You know, I never really thought about where and how things are made. Now that I am here and looking at all of these companies I am amazed and what is being manufactured in our backyard”.

That’s the word we need to get across to our younger generation. It’s OK if you want to learn a trade and that working with your hands and using creative ability is available right here in the USA. Small companies are the backbone of America and manufacturing is here to stay, so we need to educate our youth about the opportunities.

NDC Joins NTMA Apprentice Effort

We recently had the pleasure of attending a local meeting that was hosted by our regional work force alliance and the NTMA. ( National Toolmakers Association) The primary focus was an in-depth presentation about trying to find, fill and keep talented people in the machining, mold making and tool and die business. For years, the US has been losing jobs to Asia and it’s been increasingly hard if not impossible to find trained professionals. The NTMA took a grass roots look at apprenticeship training across the US and have come up with a plan and program to train and certify pre-qualified people through our local colleges. One of the uphill battles that has faced our industry over the last 20 years is that this industry had a reputation that it was a ‘dirty’ job. That is not the case anymore.

The idea is to get the word out to local high schools that there are plenty of options/careers available if one does not want to go to college straight out of high school. There are good paying jobs in the machining industry. We want the kids that love to play with computers and programming. We want the kids that like to build things. Today’s machine shop is much different that it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Running a piece of equipment that has a price tag between $50,000 and $750,000 requires a person that knows how to program from 3D models and use 21st century skills that new generations possess and have generated demand for.

The new apprenticeship training model works off of NIMS based skills training and not the traditional 8000 hours that the previous state regulated model had in place. With the economy we currently operate in and the currency problems that China has created we are seeing more companies with a ‘buy USA’ attitude. The problem is too much work and not enough qualified and trained people. With this training program in place we can put qualified people that want to learn a trade to work. Neu Dynamics is planning on training at least 2-3 people over the next 3 years to reinforce our work force. We will work closely with the NTMA and our local manufacturing alliance. We will be attending a show called “manufest” at our local Hatboro-Horsham meeting on March 19th where we expect to attract as many as 500 students and parents from local high schools so they can view what we do.

Here is a video of John Shegda, local chapter president of the NTMA discussing these apprenticeships:
