Altus Join Koh Young at Electronica

Oct 24, 2016

Altus Group, a leading distributor of capital equipment for the electronics assembly industry in the UK and Ireland will join Koh Young at Electronica, the world leading trade fair for electronic components, systems and applications being held in Munich from 8-11 November (Hall 1 booth 358).

There will be a number of systems presented at the exhibition including the Zenith full 3D AOI System which measures the true profilometric shape of components, solder joints, patterns and even foreign material on assembled PCBs with patented 3-dimensional measurement, overcoming the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of traditional 2D AOI. As the first true 3D AOI system ever developed, Zenith uses 2D and 3D information for better visualisation of the components and solder joints allowing a true comparison with the IPC-A-610 standard for inspection.

Richard Booth, managing director at Altus said: “As the principle distributor for Koh Young in the UK and Ireland we are looking forward to joining them at Electronica. It gives us the perfect opportunity to meet with existing and new customers and to understand their requirements in AOI inspection.

“Exhibitions like Electronica also help us to understand and learn about all the latest innovations within the industry and gives us the opportunity to meet potential new suppliers.”


Yamaha Motor IM is a subdivision of Yamaha Motor Corporation. Yamaha IM surface mounters are highly acclaimed in the market for their “module concept” that enables them to keep pace with the trend toward smaller and more diverse electric/electronic parts being mounted on circuit boards.

Altus Group Ltd, signed a representation agreement with Yamaha in 2014 and have already achieved several significant sales successes and built upon the substantial Yamaha installed base which already existed in the UK and Ireland.

Altus Group was formed in 2001 to support the UK and Irish market for Surface Mount Technology, capital equipment for every process, peripheral equipment, spares and consumables and most importantly excellent service support.

The Altus Group product line has evolved over the years with carefully selected suppliers who offer ‘best in class’ products at cost effective prices, from world leading brands.

The Altus Team has a network of highly skilled technical sales specialists, applications and service engineers, providing local support across the UK and Ireland.

In 2005 sister company Danutek was formed with offices in Hungary and Romania to service the needs of local customers and multi-national companies with manufacturing facilities in the Central and Eastern European marketplace. www.altusgroup.co.uk
