Customers, for example, seeking a system that can handle their differ- ent types of PCBs will find an assort- ment of system solutions, including for handling PCBs with surface- mount-technology (SMT) components. On a recent visit with contract
manufacturer Dynalab Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), Inc. (
www.dynalabems.com), a full-serv- ice EMS facility located in Reynolds- burg, Ohio, PROMATION was able to conduct a comprehensive review of systems that had originally been in- stalled more than nine years earlier. Company personnel explained
