The Electronics Assembly Handbook [Paperback]

The assembly of electronic circuit boards has emerged as one of the most significant growth areas for robotics and automated assembly. This comprehensive volume, which is an edited collection of material mostly published in Assembly Engineering and Electronic Packaging and Production , will provide an essential reference for engineers working in this field, including material on Multi Layer Boards, Chip-on-board and numerous case studies. Frank J. Riley is senior vice-president of the Bodine Corporation and a world authority on assembly automation.The assembly of electronic circuit boards has emerged as one of the most significant growth areas for robotics and automated assembly.
