Services
PCB Manufacturing Equipment
We design and manufacture precision equipment for printed circuit board production, including drilling machines, laminators, and etching systems. Our solutions cater to prototype and low-volume manufacturing needs, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. Industrial users and educational institutions rely on our machinery for efficient PCB fabrication processes.
Chemical Etching Machines
Our chemical etching and milling equipment enables precise metal part production using advanced spray processing and conveyorised systems. These machines handle materials like stainless steel, aluminium, and brass for industrial and prototyping applications. The technology supports both small-scale and batch production requirements.
Reflow Ovens
We supply a comprehensive range of reflow ovens for surface mount technology, from laboratory prototypes to production-scale units. These ovens ensure precise thermal profiling for solder paste applications, supporting components down to 0.4 mm pitch. The equipment meets demanding electronics manufacturing standards.
UV Exposure Units
Our UV exposure units provide double-sided processing with vacuum systems for photoresist applications. Designed for PCBs and flexible substrates, these units ensure accurate pattern transfer for fine-line circuit layouts. The technology supports both educational and industrial-scale production environments.
Metal Shears
We produce precision guillotine shears for cutting PCB laminates, plastics, and thin metals like aluminium and brass. Available in 8-inch and 12-inch models, these shears deliver clean, accurate cuts for prototyping and small-scale manufacturing. The equipment combines durability with user-friendly operation.
