Altus Group, a prominent distributor of advanced equipment for electronics assembly in the UK and Ireland, has announced its participation in the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics show, held from 4-6 February 2025 at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre. This event brings together industry leaders and innovators, offering an ideal platform for Altus to present a range of technologies designed to meet the increasing demands of electronics manufacturing.
Among the advanced solutions on display will be the Koh Young Alpha HS+ 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) System, known for its whole-board foreign material inspection, high precision, and AI-powered functionality. The Alpha HS+ streamlines setup and operation, ensures no escapes, and ultimately allows its users to drive up their production yields, making it an invaluable resource for the best in PCBA manufacturing.
Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group, said: “We are pleased to once again exhibit at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show, a key event for the industry. We are uniquely placed as a one stop shop provider for almost every process in PCBA manufacturing, so the show gives us a great opportunity to speak with prospective customers, who we tend to have one solution or an entire process that is relevant. For me the show offers a brilliant opportunity for the market to come together, for us to understand the needs of both our customers and prospects, and for us to demonstrate what are the most popular process upgrade opportunities and why.”
Altus will also showcase the Promation 9544CJ Pro Robotic Soldering Unit after a record year of sales in 2024. Built for precision, this system features a high-stability hot iron soldering capability. With an innovative design that improves flux core outgassing and minimises solder defects, the 9544CJ Pro enhances reliability in high-volume production environments.
The PVA Delta 8 Conformal Coating/Dispensing System will also be demonstrated at the event. Engineered for selective coating, potting, and dispensing, Delta 8 is ideal for various complex assembly processes. Its robust overhead three-axis motion platform and closed-loop process control provide consistent and precise operation, setting a high standard for precision in manufacturing.
Also on display will be the Scienscope AXC-800 III X-ray Component Counter after another big year of installations regionally. This third-generation system offers an innovative approach to component inventory management, delivering accurate counts in seconds with an impressive 99.99% accuracy rate. Its integrated optical barcode scanner accelerates data capture, making it an essential tool for fast-paced production lines.
Visit Altus Group at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show 2025, stand J80, from 4-6 February 2025 at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre.
