Rework and the different applied technologies.
Rework operations are becoming more complex due to the introduction of high-density PCBs and miniaturized components; this requires systems with high stability and exceptional repeatability, equipped with multiple sensors and closed-loop control circuits. |

Climate chambers
The climate chamber is a tool for intercepting potential defects as and when they occur, or for accelerating the aging of products, in order to understand their reliability trend before they leave the production plant, to the benefit of both the producer and the buyer. |

Washing systems for PCBs
Washing PCBs and screen printing accessories often saves precious time, as it avoids the occurrence of defects due to the poor condition of the equipment, or problems on the assembled boards once they are already installed on site. Initially seen as a cost, it has turned out to be a valuable aid for producing products with high reliability in terms of quality. |
