2010 New stories Spirit of Giving @ Matric It was a memorable year in many respects for the Associates at Matric, but perhaps the most rewarding memories are those that include the spirit of giving. Matric Associates participate in a variety of community fund-raisers throughout the year including the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society and the United Way fund drive. Another tradition for the holiday season is an annual drive to collect food, clothes and non-perishable products for the PPC Violence Free network in Oil City. The Relay for Life was held in late May, 2010, and netted $3,200 for the American Cancer Societies' premiere fundraising event. The United Way Campaign was also a huge success for the associates at Matric. The local agency depends on the annual donation as a large part of their fiscal budget for the year. As in the past, Thanksgiving marked the kick-off time for collecting goods for the PPC network, which we hope to help stock their pantry for several months in 2011. With state and federal budget cuts - donations to these types of area agencies is even more crucial than in the past. New Hi-Tech Conformal Coating Equipment at Matric Matric recently added to its ever-growing fleet of technologically advanced electronics manufacturing equipment. The latest arrival at Matric is a PVA2000, 4-axis conformal coating machine. The machine is coupled with a twelve-foot infrared curing tunnel, which is in-line and connected via a conveyor. Dynamic Manufacturing's Newest National TV Star Lights... camera... action... Something many people dream of hearing as they take center stage on a video production for television or t Enter Robyn (Thomas) Hempfling, the somewhat shy and reserved, blond haired, blue-eyed, Production Supervisor at Dynamic Manufacturing in Freeport, PA. She was selected as a finalist in mid-May to tell her own personal story in a documentary-type commercial being produced for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. Matric SMT Machines Now Have Lot Tracking Programs Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has been around since the 1960s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s until this technology really began to show its worth. Matric has been at the forefront of the SMT curve since 1989, when it began to utilize the process. In the early 2000s, the first of 3 MYDATA brand pick and place machines was installed. Two more fully automated SMT lines were added by 2006. In 2009, Matric placed over 8.2 million parts using the SMT equipment. With the vast amount of components that pass through the machines on a daily basis, keeping track of them can be a daunting task. To help bolster the lot tracking capabilities of components that are being placed on certain boards, the MYLabel and MYTrace programs were added to the machines. MYLabel enables fast feeder loading and inventory tracking. Matric associates load a reel, stick or tray into a magazine in just two barcode scans and all part information is automatically transferred to the machine.
