MPLACE SMT: Specialist in Pre-Owned Mycronic Solutions... Continued from previous page
electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical technology, and more — all of which depend on consistent, high-quality PCB assembly. With approximately 150 customers,
MPLACE SMT maintains strong relation- ships built on trust, responsiveness, and the kind of technical fluency that only comes from specialization. The company’s global reach is supported by a depot in Indianapolis, which serves as a strategic logistics and service hub for the North American market. It also has a warehouse in London that supports its international oper- ations. “Our U.S. customers, in particular,
value quick turnarounds and minimal down- time,” Cotton notes. “Our Indianapolis depot is key to deliv- ering on that expectation. It allows us to provide timely ship- ments, local service, and peace of mind.”
Commitment to Quality At the core of MPLACE

and change of scope parameters ensue. Government contracts may not be renewed or could be entirely terminated. Test specifi- cations undergo modifications, sometimes necessitating a com- plete reconfiguration of the test. Faced with these types of chal- lenges, a more easily adaptable software like PowerStar elimi- nates the need to rewrite entire programs from scratch. This can significantly reduce timelines and decrease costs. While designing an Auto -
mated Test Equipment (ATE) system in-house is technically feasible, the process is complex, costly, and time intensive. Experienced ATE providers offer the necessary expertise, enabling companies to bypass the steep learning curve, accelerate devel- opment, and optimize resource allocation. Partnering with a skilled
integrator with multi-disciplinary expertise and leveraging fully vet- ted components and software streamlines development, en - hances reliability, and allows engineers to focus on innovation while maintaining cost efficiency. Contact: Intepro Systems,

suggest a compromise to some, the company’s rigorous approach to testing, refurbishing, and supporting its products ensures that cus- tomers receive reliable, production-ready equipment every time. “Quality is not optional, it’s fundamental
to our business,” says Cotton. “We treat every piece of equipment with the same care and attention as if we were going to run it in our own factory. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s why our customers come back again and again.” The company’s focus on Mycronic also
enables it to stay current with firmware updates, configuration trends, and common challenges, ensuring its solutions are compat- ible with customers’ evolving requirements.
As electronics manufacturing continues
to grow in complexity and scale, the demand for cost-effective, reliable SMT solutions is expected to rise. MPLACE SMT is well-posi- tioned to meet that demand with its special- ist focus, proven track record, and dedication to service excellence. “We don’t just sell equipment, we build
partnerships,” Cotton concludes. “When you work with MPLACE SMT, you’re working with a team that knows your machines, understands your challenges, and is ready to help you succeed. That’s the value we bring.” Contact: MPLACE SMT Ltd.,
