Our Approach to Quality
Our approach revolves around the importance of accuracy and repeatability in maintaining high-quality standards. We emphasize the need for dynamic and accurate measurements under production conditions, using specialized tools like our glass measuring boards for SMT lines. Experience shows us that integrating a data driven approach to machine validation is key to maintaining equipment performance and extending the effective life of the equipment.
