Semi-Kinetics, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services, has bolstered its (SMT) capabilities with the purchase of two Hanwha Semitech Americas Decan S1 placement machines. With this addition, the company now operates a total of 10 Hanwha SMD placers, including five Decan S1 systems and five SM482s at its Lake Forest facility.
The Decan S1 is a next-generation chip mounter known for its exceptional performance and versatility. With support for PCBs up to 510 x 510mm (standard) and up to 1,500mm x 460mm (optional), the system enables optimal productivity for batch production while maintaining superior placement quality and reducing component loss rates.
Featuring a placement speed of 47,000 components per hour (Cph) and an accuracy of ±28μm, the Decan S1 improves placement speed for odd-shaped components by 25 percent. Additionally, its advanced system enhances simultaneous pick-up rates by automatically arranging pocket positions through real-time communication between the machine and feeder.
“This investment reflects our commitment to staying ahead of our customers’ needs,” said Michael Wayne Leedom, President – CEO at Semi-Kinetics. “With ten Hanwha machines on our production floor, we are well-equipped to deliver high-quality assemblies quickly and efficiently.”
