Assembleon's release of an enhanced Topaz-X component mounter further strengthens the company's position in the medium-volume SMT assembly marketplace.
Assembleon received the 2005 award for its truly flexible production line offering, particularly in high-mix, frequent-changeover environments.
The award recognises that Assembleon is among the first players in its marketplace to respond to changes in the world of electronics assembly, and so rapidly that it currently offers best-in-class scalable and high-speed machines.
Specific benefits cited include A-series' capability for scaling production volume up or down without calibration and without changing the line footprint, low downtime in comparison with conventional turret- and gantry-style machines, capability to handle almost all components, and high pick reliability, accuracy and speed.
Frost and Sullivan auditors further concluded that the A-series could be expected to make its mark as a manufacturing platform rather than as a simple placement machine, and applauded its capability in applications beyond SMD assembly, including RFID and module placement, LED assembly, glue dispensing, and soldering applications.
Assembleon will receive the Award at the Frost and Sullivan Excellence in Industrial Technologies Awards Banquet in Naples, Florida, on 25th May 2005.
