Altus Group has returned from the highly anticipated 2024 Southern Manufacturing & Electronics exhibition, held in Farnborough, with notable success. Building upon last year's achievements, Altus expanded its presence, showcasing eight key processes and the latest innovations in electronics manufacturing.
The highlighted technologies included the Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+ AOI inspection solution for automated optical inspection. Altus also displayed the versatile KSMART software for collecting, analysing and optimising PCBA processes to improve quality and efficiency.
Additional advanced systems covered critical electronics production processes - from soldering, dispensing and inspection to board handling and assembly. Notable equipment on Altus’ stand included the Asscon vapour phase reflow soldering unit for lead-free soldering, the PVA precision dispensing technology making its Altus debut, the Quins inspection system for high-resolution image capture, and the YJ Link automated board handling system.
Essemtec’s Fox 2 multi-function SMT Assembly machine for high-mix, low-volume production lines and Promation’s modular robotic soldering solutions also drew great interest from visitors.
“We were pleased to showcase our expanded range of innovations in electronics production equipment at this year’s Southern Manufacturing exhibition,” said Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group. “The exceptional engagement we received shows the increasing demand for advanced solutions as electronics manufacturers seek to improve quality, efficiency and automation in their production processes. The UK is a very optimistic place to manufacture electronics currently. The team look forward to many productive customer conversations and potential new partnerships moving through the rest of the year.”
With Altus achieving record UK and Ireland sales in 2023, they are poised for further growth from the connections made and sales initiated at the 2024 Southern Manufacturing & Electronics exhibition.
