Contract provides boards for novel surgical laser
Pioneering laser surgery company Diomed has chosen Prism Electronics as lead supplier of electronic circuit boards for its ground-breaking Delta surgical diode laser
It has been designed for food and drinks manufacturing where the production trend is increasingly towards producing short runs of custom labelled and packaged products.
The device is used in cutting, coating and positioning processes on production lines.
It can reduce downtime significantly compared with traditional systems that require the reconfiguration of production lines between product changeovers.
Precision operation and alignment of the device during these processes is a key feature.
The ability of the linear actuator to position itself accurately relies on the precise alignment of two sensors on the electromechanical assembly.
Prism was awarded the contract because of its ability to produce these components accurately.
Prism produces two variations of electromechanical assembly which include high density circuit boards fitted with surface mounted components.
To ensure precise alignment the sensors are positioned by hand.
Delivery of the assemblies is integrated into Copley Motion's Kanban production system.
Initial batches tested by the company were fault free.
'Accuracy of delivered product was our main consideration when sourcing a supplier to manufacture the electromechanical assemblies for our linear actuator', said Clive Thompson, Production Manager at Copley Motion Systems.
'Prism Electronics has demonstrated its ability to continually and reliably meet our manufacturing specifications'.
