Incap US Invests in Advanced SMT Technology
April 9, 2025 | IncapEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Incap US invested approximately USD 2 million (EUR 1.82 million) in advanced SMT (surface-mount technology) production equipment to expand its production capacity. The newly acquired machinery, featuring increased speeds and feeder capacity, is expected to boost production capacity by approximately 110%. The equipment’s energy-efficient design supports the company’s sustainability goals.
According to David Spehar, Managing Director of Incap Electronics US, the investment includes six advanced SMT placement machines, two 3D AOI (automated optical inspection) systems, a Laser Marker, and an adhesive dispenser. “This investment is a key step in our technology roadmap, enabling us to maintain our position as a state-of-the-art facility for our manufacturing partners. It enhances our capability and flexibility to grow alongside our customers while continuing to deliver high-quality products with reduced lead times,” Spehar explained.
Spehar added that the upgrade aligns with a broader vision to become a “factory of the future”, incorporating advanced ERP systems for comprehensive material control and traceability. “With these investments, we are ensuring that our operations remain interconnected across systems and scalable to meet evolving market demands,” he noted.
The new SMT equipment’s advanced features, such as component placement down to 0.3-0.15mm in size, automatic support pin setups, polarity checking, and enhanced material traceability, streamline production processes while boosting efficiency and quality. These features minimize the reliance on operator involvement, ensuring seamless and consistent performance. “This investment enables us to better serve all current and future customer projects, leveraging increased automation to enhance efficiency, making us more competitive, and positioning us to grow alongside our partners,” Spehar added.
