The basis of chaos theory is a key concept known as the “butterfly effect.” It’s the idea that a small event in one place creates a cascading set of events elsewhere. So, how is the EMS landscape changing? We’re tracking the concerns and dynamics of this landscape, and there’s a lot to learn.
In this issue, we examine the profound effect artificial intelligence and machine learning are having on manufacturing and business processes. We follow technology, innovation, and money as automation becomes the new key indicator of growth in our industry. Circuit Board Assembly
One trend is to add box build and final assembly to your product offering. In this issue, we explore the opportunities and risks of adding system assembly to your service portfolio.
Seika Machinery, Inc., a leading provider of advanced machinery, materials and engineering services is pleased to announce an inventory sale on stock SAYAKA PCB routers, including the SAM-CT23Q, SAM-CT23S, SAM-CT35Q, SAM-CT23NJ and SAM-CT56NJ. Additionally, the SAM-CT34XJ PCB Router is now available for demonstration at Seika’s Headquarters and Demonstration Center in Torrance.
The SAM-CT34XJ standalone works as an in-line and off-line router. It features a slide table for fast and easy loading/unloading of PCBs, repeatability ±0.01mm and low maintenance. The color CCD camera makes it easy to program, along with an automatic QR code reading and uploading program. The SAM-CT34XJ offers broken/slip bit detection and extended bit life with automatic bit position control.
There is no better way to depanel a printed circuit board than with the SAYAKA PCB Depaneling Router. This PCB depaneler is the answer for hassle-free PCB depaneling through the employment of a router bit that minimizes stress on components. The high-speed spindle included in the machine speeds up cutting and maintains precision, while also allowing for flexible panel designs with various cutting patterns.
Bluetooth Circuit Board Additionally, the SAM-CT34XJ PCB Router cuts down on bit replacement with its router bit depth adjustment system, which automatically shifts up to five depth levels. The PCB router bit maximum cutting speed is 50mm per second, while the traveling speed is a maximum of 800mm per second. With a built-in fixture-based dust vacuum system, the system is sure to be clean and efficient. This prevents warping, and takes full advantage of vacuum strength for the most effective dust collection.
