January 24, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Incap India has invested approximately EUR 1 million in a new SMT (surface-mount technology) production line at its third factory in Tumkur. This upgrade is set to improve production efficiency, enhance capacity to support new and existing customer projects, as well as contribute to energy savings.
According to Murthy Munipalli, Managing Director of Incap India, the new SMT line integrates advanced automation features such as fully automated PCB movement, traceability systems, and auto unloading. “This investment is in line with our goal to enhance operational efficiency and deliver better value for our customers. The advanced features of the line will help improve quality and reduce lead times”, Munipalli explained.
The new technology incorporates AOI-to-SPI defect traceability software, enabling complete remote management and faster programming using Gerber data. The technology also supports advanced inspection capabilities for tall components with body marking. Additionally, the reflow machine includes three cooling zones to minimise heat emissions, further enhancing environmental performance.
The energy-efficient design of the line includes a 10% reduction in energy consumption in the pick-and-place system, a 7% reduction in power usage in the reflow machine, and a 15% increase in component placement speed. “These advancements contribute to our sustainability goals while simultaneously improving operational efficiency,” Munipalli added.
