As we continue to grow and expand as a UK manufacturer, we are consistently investing in new and improved machinery and equipment. Our latest investment is an additional, high-speed SMT placement line in order to increase our PCB assembly capacity.

The new line will allow us to support the growing requirements of both new and existing customers across a range of market sectors. Our new line comprises of 2x Mirae pick and place machines and a Falcon inline AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) machine. This provides a number of key features including:

  • Placement capacity of 92,000 components per hour (cph)
  • Ability to place fine-pitch surface mount components
  • 160 component feeder lanes based on 8mm wide feeders (minimising set-up downtime for heavily populated PCB’s

Our customers can now take advantage of our increased efficiency, flexibility and higher overall production capabilities.

David King, Makar Technologies Managing Director, comments:

“We are all pleased to see our Forres manufacturing site continue to grow after lots of hard work and effort. The increased volumes from our existing, loyal customer base coupled with new customer orders gives us the confidence to progress with further investment and boost our offering, including our new SMT line. Over the coming months, we have further exciting investment and expansion planned which we hope to soon announce”
