Ever think about what it takes to manufacture the latest electronics?Every step in the assembly line process will be on display and fully functioning as the "IPC A-Line" hits the show floor at IPC Midwest Conference and Exhibition,September 23-24, 2009.

Eleven of the industry's top suppliers have teamed up to demonstrate advanced electronics assembly line, with on-site experts available to talk about the A-Line's high-tech processes, materials and equipment.

By popular demand, the IPC A-Line returns to IPC Midwest with an expanded line of equipment and the incorporation of surface mount as well as through hole component mounting. The A-Line enables event attendees to witness the actual operation of an assembly line, following a product from screen printing to component mounting and then through reflow - all while learning about the processes, equipment and end-item cleaning that are used to manufacture the assembly.

At the end of the line, attendees will receive a finished assembly thanks to A-Line participants.
