New Mirae Machines Ready to Provide Innovation and Increased Production Volume
We are always focused on growth and improvement of services here at Philtronics. That is why we have decided to invest in these three new machines which will take our capabilities to another level and will hopefully enhance customer satisfaction even further.
Machine Details
Mirae 1010
- Mirae 1010 is a dual gantry chip shooting machine, capable of placing components as small as 0201 (0.024” x 0.012”) and as large as 18.00mm.
- The machine has 16 heads and can place up to 30,000 components per hour (CPH).
- The machine has 90 feeder slots.
Mirae 1020P
- Mirae 1020P is a single gantry machine with 6 module heads and 1 precision head.
- It is also capable of placing components as small as 0201 (0.024” x 0.012”) and as large as 18.00mm.
- The machine can place up to 16,500 components per hour (CPH).
- It has 45 feeder slots and 20 waffle trays.
Both of the above machines will be used inline with the current Mirae 1020QP allowing us to manufacture PCB assemblies in three stages, increasing production volume and decreasing the time from paste to re-flow.
This will ensure improved quality on boards with small pads.
Heller 1707 EXL
- This is a 14-zone (7 top, 7 bottom) re-flow oven.
- It will work alongside our current smaller 5-zone oven.
- The increased capabilities of the new Heller re-flow oven will give us full control over the temperature of every part on the board to ensure quality and specificity of products.
Advancing Technologies
This investment for Philtronics is also an investment in our customers. We are ensuring that we have the best machinery to provide the high quality electronic products that we pride ourselves upon having produced for the best part of 16 years. Our dedication towards expanding on and improving our capabilities comes from this core belief that customers deserve excellent service and the best quality products.
