Gemini Tec invest in 2nd solder jet printer, fo higher volume SMT orders

A second solder jet printer has now been ordered for our surface mount facility in Aldershot Hampshire, with installation in August 14.

MY600 High Speed Jet Printer arriving August 14

....way back in 2008 Gemini Tec were the first UK based CEM to invest into solder jet printing technology, and now we are the first UK CEM to introduce the latest edition of printers, the MY600.

MYCRONIC's MY600 is the next generation of solder jet printers and has been designed to suit higher volume surface mount assembly applications and is without a doubt world class technology.

This new generation of Solder Paste Jet Printers now allows Gemini to achieve optimal solder joints with a upto a 50% increase in speed, against our current solder jet paste printer. The introduction of this high-performance platform will allow new production capacity for customers who are struggling to mount difficult components using classic screen printing methods.

With a large increase in the demand for higher volume PCBA orders from its customer base, the new MY600 overcomes many of the speed limitations and yet still provides the optimal assembly technique for flexible substrates, board cavities, package-on-package, QFNs and new components with small process windows. Often beyond the ability of classic screen printing methods.

The use of solder jet paste printing has transformed the experiences for all our customers and allowed us to achieve new delivery lead times for rapid PCB assembly orders. The new MY600 will be used to support higher volume orders and contracts on the same basis.

The new MY600 solder jet printer will operate with its own 'Synergy' SMT line, comprising of two high speed SMT placement machines, a BTU convection reflow oven and Nutek fully automatic board handling systems.

Company Director Adam Harsant, comments on the latest solder jet paste printing news.

"This latest investment is an exciting new chapter in the development of our business, we are expanding our entire SMT operation on the back of the demand for high quality and UK manufactured hardware"

"Our customers appreciate the value this technology has provided and we are investing to ensure that we have sufficient capacity for the increase in demand. And with a continued shift from sourcing in 'perceived' low cost centres back towards the UK, we recognise the opportunity to now support higher volume orders with all the advantages that solder jet printing technology provides"
