After exceptional interest and record sales in 2023, Altus has expanded its stand to showcase eight key processes and the latest technology innovations. One highlighted technology is the Koh Young Zenith Alpha HS+ AOI, a true 3D AOI solution powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Zenith Alpha has proven to deliver outstanding performance leveraging true 3D measurement technology, making it a crucial component for ultra-fine pitch and solder joint interreflection challenges. Additionally, Altus will showcase the KSMART software, an innovative solution for data collection, analysis, and PCBA process optimisation.
ALTUS TO SHOWCASE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES ON STAND J80 Joe Booth, Altus Group CEO, said: “Our
expanded floor space will showcase a broader spectrum of advanced equipment, including technologies like Koh Young AOI, Essemtec SMT Assembly, and Asscon Vapour Phase. We are especially excited about introducing PVA, our newest supplier, at the exhibition. The entire sales team will be on hand to provide in-depth insights into our showcased processes, fostering valuable interactions with both partners and potential prospects.” Among the featured technologies will be
the versatile Asscon VP510 top-loaded vapour phase system. Making its debut on the Altus
stand is the PVA Dispensing Unit, a flexible dispensing solution ideal for selective conformal coating, potting, and precision dispensing. Its advanced technology ensures consistent, high-quality conformal coating for superior circuit board protection. Altus will also exhibit the Quins Inspection
System, the YJ Link Board Handling system, Essemtec Fox 2 (MFC) Multifunctional Standalone Modules, and Promation Robotic Soldering solutions.
