CRM expands capacity

Crystalaid Manufacture (CRM) has expanded its capacity with the installation of two JUKI Pick & Place machines, along with two GKG SMT screen printers.

This additional equipment gives CRM the capability to run two separate surface mount lines simultaneously. The first additional pick-and-place machine is a KE 2070 with a throughput placement rate of approximately 15,000 components/h. The second machine is a JUKI FX3, and will be placed in line with a JUKI 2060 boasting a combined throughput placement rate of 100,000 components/h.

This capability provides a weekly assembly rate of 3.8m components, with an extension possible of 7.6m per week over two shifts. CRM holds quality certifications to ISO 9000 and AS9100 Rev C standards. Other services offered by CRM include: die and wire bonding in a Class 7 cleanroom and 3D X-ray capabilities.
