Surface Mount Assembly.

Controlled processes are the key to achieving a high quality product with our two surface mount production lines.

Our high specification DEK265 screen printers provide a fully automated perfect solder print on the board to be built and with an enclosed air conditioned environment the solder paste is of optimum consistency.

Once printed the board is transported by conveyer into a GEM Topaz high speed chip shooter. Using 8 heads the Topaz is capable of placing 15,000 components per hour down to a size of 0402. The board then passes to a GEM Emerald which places the high precision parts such as BGAs, QFPs, TSOPs etc.

The process is completed when the board is passed through either our ceptronics JetStream or our Blundel Plus8 forced air reflow oven that reflows the solder paste and forms a perfect soldered joint.
