INVESTMENT DESCRIPTION:
In 2022, the Strip’s d.o.o. company commenced the investment in production diversification. The investment will help us establish a completely new technological process, which will result in the production of two new product lines:
- circuits with ultra small and non-standard components (UMNK);
- circuits with a high level of verification and traceability (VSPS).
If the company wishes to grow and develop in line with market requirements and needs, the investment is essential. The investment comprises the purchase and deployment of the necessary technological infrastructure to set up a new technological process, which will result in the diversification of production into two new product lines of products, which the company cannot provide with the existing technology.
The subject of the investment is the following high-tech equipment:
- technology for optical control of SMD connectors;
- SMD placement technology;
- technology for electrical verification of components;
- repair stations;
- SMD placement line;
- line laser;
- X-ray component counter;
- technology for X-ray verification of components;
- line for selective soldering with optical control system;
- soldering robots;
- continuous convection ovens for soldering;
- nitrogen generator.
