With a worldwide installed base of over 2400 machines, Mirae placement systems have been an established presence in North America for many years. That presence is poised to grow rapidly as the Apex FA service and support commitment is increasingly recognized by progressive EMS companies and OEM in-sourcers. The equipment offering now includes the comprehensive line of Mirae pick and place machines with models ranging from a single gantry 8000 CPH, through to a dual gantry, dual conveyor, 42000 CPH model. Also catering to particular end use requirements such as LED and large board processes, Apex Factory Automation future proofs their customers with scalable equipment utilizing common feeders to protect investments into the future.
Commenting on the company’s appointment by Mirae, the Director of Program Development, Matthew Conway, explains: “We’re delighted to have been selected by Mirae, particularly since it recognizes our ability to bring a unique new experience to the North American PCBA marketplace. Here at Apex, we’ve built our business on being completely transparent; we feel it’s important that we do what we say we will – and we know our customers do too!
