June 26, 2017 | Lenthor EngineeringEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Lenthor Engineering, a California based designer, manufacturer and assembler of flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards, has recently invested in a new Fuzion Platform from Universal. The dual-beam Fuzion 2-37 is a high performance multi-function solution that when added to Lenthor’s existing line will greatly boost production speed.
The Fuzion platform leverages the latest generation of head and feeder technologies and software tools and maximizes flexibility, effectiveness and productivity, at high volumes, without limitations. It will reduce setups, increase output, streamline changeover and promote a lean environment with smaller lot sizes, reduced WIP and increased turns,
“We’re excited about the possibilities this new platform brings to our assembly line, specifically when it comes to speed. The Fuzion will allow us to place an additional 35,000 components per hour,” says Matt Kan, Lenthor Engineering’s Assembly and EMS Director.
