SKN Electronics Invests in New Yamaha SMT Equipment
SKN Electronics has strengthened its PCB assembly capabilities with the investment in two new Yamaha Surface Mount Technology (SMT) machines: the Yamaha YCP10 Compact PCB Printing System and the Yamaha YRM20 Modular Mounter.
The new equipment enhances production efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility, enabling SKN Electronics to deliver high-quality PCB assemblies with increased capacity and faster turnaround times.
The Yamaha YCP10 provides precise solder paste printing, while the Yamaha YRM20 delivers fast, accurate component placement across a wide range of PCB assemblies.
Geoff Kelly, Managing Director at SKN Electronics, said:
“This investment reflects our commitment to continually improving our manufacturing capabilities. By introducing the latest Yamaha technology, we’re increasing our capacity and efficiency while maintaining the high standards of quality our customers expect.”
The investment forms part of SKN Electronics’ ongoing commitment to providing reliable, high-quality electronics manufacturing services and supporting the evolving needs of its customers.
