Jeff Leal from Axxon-Mycronic swings by the set to dispense some knowledge 😉 An interesting talk unfolded as we discussed precision dispensing and coating solutions. The cast found particular value in learning about "right sized" platforms that can allow low volume outfits an entrance into automation via desktop dispensing robots! Sean and Elias took a stroll over to the Axxon booth after this one and got the chance to check out the benchtop THT inspection platform, very innovative stuff! A big thanks to Axxon-Mycronic for supporting the cast and advancing our goals of providing meaningful and fun conversations! #qualitycontrol #inspection #automation #PCBA…

The Podfather 🎤 Our friend Mike Konrad from Aqueous Technologies and the host of The Reliability Matters Podcast, takes an unfamiliar seat as a guest during IPC Apex 2025! Mike's humility won't allow him to accept the credit due to him for mentoring and helping us up on this journey. We converse about podcasting, collaboration, and even a bit about cleaning! Elias , Producer Paul , Sean , and Daniel send a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Konrad for setting us up with all the A/V for this event! These chats were slotted for 10 minutes each, but we found a way to stretch this one longer than LinkedIn can accommodate, so head over to YouTube to check out this, and all 35 interviews from Apex 2025!…

⚙️ “It’s not about CPH—it’s about what you get out the door.” At IPC APEX 2025, we sat down with Tim Kang from Hanwha to talk about next-gen automation, and let’s just say—Hanwha isn’t playing catch-up… they’re setting the pace. From dual-lane ovens that run lead and lead-free at the same time, to pick-and-place systems that run two independent jobs simultaneously—we’re seeing innovation that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the production floor. 🔧 Highlights from the convo: Why CPH is overrated and output-per-day is what really matters Hanwha’s dual-lane reflow oven with independent thermal chambers—run two profiles, two speeds, no cross-contamination A dual job pick-and-place platform that supports multiple conveyor lengths and setups running at once How cart-based feeder systems reduce changeover and operator strain Why North American CMs need high-mix, low-volume friendly systems—not just speed How Hanwha engages with customers post-sale to fine-tune performance and drive continuous improvement It’s not just about selling machines—it’s about engineering solutions that actually fit the real-life factory floor. Big shoutout to Tim and the entire Hanwha team for supporting The D Code Podcast and for continuing to bring disruptive innovation to the SMT world.…

🌎 “It’s not about borders—it’s about building together.” Live from the IPC APEX 2025 show floor, we caught up with Jason Wahba of JW Corporation, who crossed the border (legally 😄) from Canada to talk all things automation, global manufacturing insights, and the future of lean electronics. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Big thanks to Jason for the Unity Pins—combining the US and Canadian flags—and for sharing some sharp insights from his recent travels through Japan and Taiwan. 🤖 Key takeaways from our convo: Why Asia is pulling ahead in automation—not just SMT, but process-wide, including low-cost cobots and automation strategies that start at the quoting phase How their “automate first” mindset allows them to price competitively, scale faster, and defend against competition long-term The biggest roadblock to adoption here? Not just cost—it’s the lack of implementation knowledge Why lean manufacturers like us can’t afford not to automate, even in high-mix, low-volume environments Why collaboration across borders and competitors isn’t just possible—it’s essential to grow the entire industry Jason brought international experience, practical advice, and a heavy dose of humor—including a salute to his $40 Harbor Freight conformal coating setup 😆 This one was part community, part case study—and all heart. Thank you, Jason and JW Corp, for supporting the podcast and the mission of growing this industry together.…

Mr. IPC himself, John W Mitchell joined The D-Code Podcast at APEX 2025. Right off the bat, he flipped the script and started the interview asking questions of us. (We got our chance to ask him questions too!) Topics like apprenticeship, which is an exciting program the IPC is sponsoring to help foster the next generation of electronics manufacturing talent. There are apprentice and pre-apprentice programs available. He also showcased how standards get developed- you can get involved! John was very candid about all things electronics and how to create an atmosphere of partnership. Elias Malfavon Jr. , Sean Kincaid , Producer Paul , and Daniel Stanphill extend our sincere gratitude once again to the IPC for being an amazing partner to us!

Gayle Towell brings the education. Seriously, between two (2!) Masters degrees, teaching, and scientific journalism, she is an explaining machine! If you are newer to surface mount and want to learn more about the miniaturization of solder paste and stencil thickness, this interview really gives a great overview. Learn how solder balls are made, how they interact with stencils and the process of selecting what Type of paste to use. Join Sean Kincaid and Daniel Stanphill as they get schooled together by Gayle and Elias Malfavon Jr. , with his stencil expertise and customer feedback he obtains to consistently drive best practice improvements. Many people are out here working with area ratio and stencil thickness as their primary concerns. When you start getting into the smaller apertures on the thinner stencils, rather than focusing just on the 5 ball rule for width of aperture, you have to start considering the height of the aperture as well. Imagine dealing with such small apertures that Type 3 solder balls are actually taller than the height of the stencil, leading to shearing effects and insufficient transfer. Also, if you love sharing and teaching about SMT concepts, you just might have a superpower you didn't know about... Gayle knows hers! #smt #pcb #problemsandsolutions #solderpaste #pcbassembly…

The Father of Surface Mount Technology.... Let that sink in for a moment. Phil Marcoux was gracious enough to join Elias , Daniel , and Sean for an amazing conversation starting with the contested beginnings of SMT and working up to AI and it's applications in the EMS world. Phil makes a fascinating comparison between the introduction of SMT into PCBA and where we are currently with AI He also gives praise to Sean for a recent novel idea he had during a meeting they both attended. It was truly a privilege to sit with Papa SMT, 10 minutes was no where near enough time for our inquisitive minds. Fortunately Elias may have a touch of salesmanship in him, as he asks for the sale via an on film request and acceptance from Phil for a full length Podcast episode in the near future! #SMT #PCBA #AI #LEGEND…

Daniel Stanphill friend, Debbie Carboni , joined us to talk about the science they are working on at KYZEN Corporation to help people in the PCBA space. Do you use IPA in your under stencil cleaning process? Do you always use a wet pass or do you sometimes use a dry pass? She can tell you how to stabilize your processes through chemistry. They can monitor processes in real time and help you detect problems before they exist! Sean Kincaid shares a testimonial of Kyzen's thorough work instructions for how to properly prepare the cleaning system to make a chemistry switch. Also the final results on the boards being washed with the chemistry from Kyzen are beautiful. Daniel was quick to back up Sean's testimony with his positive experience getting help from Kyzen when Aurora first got their cleaning systems up and running. Also, don't miss Elias Malfavon Jr. giving Debbie a tag line she can use and tell us if you liked it!

Don Jeka Producer Paul here. This was a really fun one to witness. I get to see the guys geek out behind the scenes about SMT/PCBA technology frequently before and after recording regular episodes, but they do their best to keep the official podcast from ever feeling like a commercial. That said, we purposely bring on people who are doing cool things and it happens after we end the recording from time to time. This was so fun because @ Don Jeka barely had a chance to discuss his "Solutions" here. @ ESSEMTEC USA drives their innovation with dedicated work with actual users of their products. You can see the impact as well. @ Sean Kincaid & @ Daniel Stanphill from the process engineering perspective were so thrilled to discuss the features of these products, they stepped all over him explaining the "Problems" being solved by each new solution. Even during this interview, they learn new things about this already available equipment that seem so "next gen" they are surprised and break the 4th wall to talk to you, the viewer, about their genuine excitement! Come along and learn with them from Don about what is possible now with "current gen" equipment. Oh, @ Elias Malfavon Jr. was there, too. He added some relevant stuff in about stencils and screenprinting. If that's what you are here for, you won't miss out in this one. ;) #smt #pcba #ems #problemsandsolutions…
