BlueRing Expands Machining Capabilities with Tooling Division Rebrand

Untitled (6 x 1 in)

Lumberton, NJ – The BlueRing family is excited to introduce BlueRing Machining! Previously known as Stone Mountain Tool, BlueRing Machining has expanded its capabilities and undergone a rebranding. Based out of Conyers, Georgia, the 20,000+ square foot facility employs a dedicated staff with an average of 15 years of experience in the fixture and tooling industry. BlueRing Machining is ITAR registered and ISO 9001:2015 certified. The lathe-, router-, mill-, and drill-based CNC machining equipment utilized in Georgia already inspired the decision to grow. The creative minds at BlueRing saw an opportunity to reach new sectors and operate the current technology to its fullest capacity.

Regarding this transition, Fred Cox, the President of BlueRing says: “Our tooling division is now BlueRing Machining! We decided to change the name to reflect the fact that BlueRing Stencils customers are the same people that buy Stone Mountain Tool products. The same industry is served. Stone Mountain Tool brings a strong reputation as being problem solvers. This matches perfectly with BlueRing’s vision as a solutions provider to the PCB assembly market. We want a name that promotes a one stop shopping opportunity where our customers can purchase through the same channel.”

Nate Nash, the General Manager of BlueRing Machining is excited to serve new customers and industries. Nate explained: “BRM is a leader of high-quality machining services, as well as a constant innovator developing solutions for tomorrow’s manufacturing challenges. Our team offers a diverse array of technical skills and a variety of experienced perspectives. This drives our technical capabilities and brings our valued customers a level of excellence and customized solutions that no other shop can replicate.”

Greg Smith Featured on Quarantech Tuesday

Improve SMT Assembly Yields Through Stencil Design

Greg Smith was recently featured on the Quarantech Tuesday webinar series to discuss improving yields. Reducing first-pass defects in the SMT assembly process starts at the beginning with SMT stencil design and the solder print process. Correct stencil design from the start will minimize cost, assembly time and improve product reliability. This presentation highlights general stencil design guidelines and looks at solving defects with stencil aperture changes. Defects such as insufficient solder, solder balls, tombstoning, bridging, head-in-pillow, and voiding will all be discussed as they relate to stencil design, and practical stencil design recommendations are made.
