NEWBURY, UK – Newbury Electronics has invested more than $646,000 in three new machines: an LPKF 5120 laser drilling and milling machine, an Ersa Ecoselect 1 selective soldering machine, and the firm’s 10th SMD pick-and-place machine, a Yamaha I-Pulse M20.
"Electronics and electrical engineering is becoming increasingly complex, and the continual development of smart mobile technology is requiring ever-smaller boards," says Philip King, managing director of Newbury Electronics. "We are particularly excited about the laser drilling machine, the first of its type to be installed in the UK. It will ensure shorter lead times for customers, but still at a very realistic and reasonable cost."
Since January, Newbury has appointed 11 additional staff.
