New vision system increases productivity at CIL
Custom Interconnect Limited (CIL) has installed a third Speedprint SP880avi Solder printer at its new factory in Andover.

This new system, which includes 2D solder inspection, means
that all three fully automatic SMT lines installed at CIL over
the past 20 months are now fitted with an in-line Speedprint SP880avi
printer. This has resulted in an improvement in production flexibility
and throughput because all three lines are now completely interchangeable
so that any product can be used on any line.
John Boston, managing director of CIL said "Over the past two
years, CIL has seen a dramatic increase in the complexity and
size of its assemblies as its new customers have all required
large PCB assemblies predominantly double sided using 0402/0603
components and BGA's/FPGA throughout. This has resulted in CIL
having to continually invest in new equipment to be able to process
very complex product and in terms of SMT that all starts with
solder print. If you do not get the solder print correct all processes
afterwards are much more difficult and as we are now processing
PCB assemblies with a component count in excess of 1700 off components,
some of which are now 0201 components, it is vital that you use
the very latest equipment."
