APS

After 10 years of continued growth, APS decided to expand its horizons and apply its expertise to the low to medium volume surface mount assembly market. The basic SMT manufacturing process can be simplified to the following steps: print, place, reflow. To address these applications, APS, in 1992, introduced its own line of manual stencil printers, manual pick and place machines and benchtop reflow ovens - the Gold-Series. These systems quickly established APS as a leading SMT equipment provider. In fact, the Gold-Series SMT line, sold in over 20 countries, has become the standard for low volume surface mount assembly! 

APS continues to focus on the three-step manufacturing process for medium to low-volume assembly. To answer our customers' needs, APS most recently introduced automated stencil printers and pick-and-place machines as well as new-technology, high temperature inline reflow ovens. The L-series pick and place machines are specifically designed for facilities that require quick set-up, ease of operation, high accuracy and high reliability. Even during our industry's worst downturn ever, the L-series automated pick and place machines have been widely accepted and further establish APS as the leader in low volume automation.
