Happy !
Today, we're so excited to showcase the impressive manufacturing capabilities of Pole/Zero in West Chester, Ohio, aligning with our mission of Connecting and Protecting People®.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) line in West Chester employs a cutting-edge pick and place assembly method and machinery, seamlessly integrating electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). This innovative process enables automated production, enhancing efficiency and expediting assembly to deliver fully functional boards. The complete line consists of a paste dispenser, automated solder paste inspection, pick and place machines, reflow oven, automated optical inspection and router!
By leveraging pick and place automation, we not only accelerate production but also optimize collaboration between our machinery and skilled SMT assembly experts. Together, they streamline PCB manufacturing, supporting the seamless integration of boards into our production cells.
Our dedicated SMT assemblers have actively engaged in continuous improvement initiatives, such as kaizens, to maximize throughput and eliminate waste, ensuring that every step in the process adds value for both our internal and external customers. We applaud our SMT team's achievements and improvements on the SMT line and are proud to embrace a culture of getting better every day!
