Accurate assemblyA fully integrated range of sophisticated assembly technology provides the basis for high quality, competitively-priced solutions that extend from prototyping to medium volume production.

DEK248E solder paste screen printer with DEK align 4 vision system - guarantees consistently accurate solder paste application, allowing for accurate placement.

2 x Tenryu automated pick and place machines - Manufacturers list capacity of 10,000 components per hour for both machines in tandem @ 1.6 thou accuracy. These fast, accurate placement machines result in efficient medium volume manufacture. Capable of BGA placement, the two laser guided machines have 2 + 3 heads respectively and by use of a conveyer belt they can be used in tandem or can be used independently on two different jobs.

2 x Versatronic RV4 automated pick & place machines - Manufacturers list capacity of 3,600 components per hour each. These machines feature rapid programming & set up times, making it ideal for fast turnaround jobs. Commonly these machines are used for prototypes and low volume runs as rapid set-up allows for lower initial costs.

EBSO SPA400 selective soldering machine - Automated lead-free through hole assembly. The selective solderer provides an efficient reliable means of soldering through hole pins. On production runs the selective solderer proves more efficient than hand soldering, whilst being more flexible than the wave solder alternative. The machine, complete with a pre-heat function for multi-layer applications can either accurately solder single points or lines of pins allowing for through hole automation on boards with mixed technology.

High speed product placement

ERSA IR500

ERSA IR500 with BGA attachment. The ERSA provides the capability for accurate BGA placement to an accuracy of 1 thou, it also allows for accurate reworking of demanding packages (QFP's, PLCC's, BGA's, FBGA's).

Mirtec MV-2BTL automated optical inspection machine - Will inspect for missing components, orientation, component identification, solder quality & solder shorts. The machine highlights potential problems on a board which is subsequently analysed by the operator. If the scenario is acceptable then the machine is taught to pass that identical issue on that particular job if it occurs again. This results in a custom library of acceptable circumstances building up over time. Thus, the more the job is run, the more accurate the program becomes.

Four zone standard industrial system cleaning station - cleans the flux off the circuit boards resulting in a clean cosmetic feel.
