Custom Interconnect is undertaking a major expansion of its SMT manufacturing facility.

Custom Interconnect is undertaking a major expansion of its SMT manufacturing facility A new automated, inline system incorporating a Tyco Meridian placement machine, a vision printer and a Tyco reflow oven has been installed in addition to the existing inline Quad QSP2 multihead and two stand-alone, single-headed machines already in use

This new state-of-the-art facility provides increased placement accuracy and a greatly reduced defect rate.

The system handles 0402 components with ease and both standard and micro ball grid arrays.

Nick Edwards, chief executive of Custom Interconnect said: "This investment is part of our on-going development plan and was necessary to meet the increased demand for SMT production.

The new machine allows us to set up cost-effective production runs in smaller batch sizes and runs longer batches at greater speed.

This allows us to offer improved quality, greater production flexibility and faster turn rounds to our customers".

CIL, formed in 1987, provides a service that bridges the gap between design and manufacture and covers surface mount, chip on board and multichip fabrication.
