Appearing in a new look for the first time, Finetech strengthens its significant position in the rework and micro assembly arena by introducing two completely new equipment solutions.
Product launches: FINEPLACER® matrix and FINEPLACER® core
With the FINEPLACER® matrix, Finetech is pointing the way forward for the product family. The modular thinking behind the FINEPLACER® has been further perfected. Depending on the customer's requirements, the platform can be flexibly configured either as a high-end rework system or as a high-precision assembly and bonding system. By combining state-of-the-art technology with an ergonomic design, FINEPLACER® matrix sets new standards in both fields.
Also making its debut is the newly developed hot air rework station FINEPLACER® core. Basic entry-level rework system FINEPLACER® core is mainly targeted at small and medium-scale companies as well as users looking for an attractively-priced equipment solution with wide application spectrum. The compact machine with excellent cost-performance ratio is based on Finetech’s proven hot air technology and allows safe and reproducible rework of the whole spectrum of SMD-components commonly used in the field of consumer electronics.
Well-prepared for the product launch
