Pick and place machine is cost effective mix

As the most cost-effective manufacturing solution for high-mix production, the Opal-XII is proving popular with small OEMs/CEMs.

Nordic Industries and Technology of Brakne-Hoby, Sweden - a small, specialised electronics CEM - has taken delivery of Assembleon's high value-for-money Opal-XII pick and place machine.

As the most cost-effective manufacturing solution for high-mix production, the Opal-XII is proving popular with small OEMs/CEMs.

For Nordic, who manufacture highly-specified automotive, control and ventilation electronic equipment, the eight-headed Opal-XII machine is perfect for fast ramp-ups, changeovers and variable batch sises with a variety of products.

Hakan Svensson, MD and owner of Nordic Industries and Technology, says: "We chose Assembleon because they are a huge player in the market with a broad and comprehensive service and support structure".

"The Opal-XII and all the X-Series modules form the perfect future-proof platform for companies like ours who are planning for future expansion".

The Opal-XII, renowned for its ease of use and exceptional functionality in its price class, is Nordic's first investment in new manufacturing equipment.

Its price/performance ratio, broad component range and very low cost-of-ownership are key features for small manufacturers.

With no extra costs for installation, this Opal-XII is a low-cost, turnkey solution and the fastest way from CAD data to first products.

It has built-in expandability, allowing customers to buy only what they need today and expand when their demands grow.

A second Opal-XII machine can be configured in line, using the same network database.

And other machines from the X-Series, such as the Topaz-XII, can be combined with the Opal-XII to provide volume and application flexibility.

That also protects investments in existing software and feeders.
