As part of a major export drive, Murton System Technologies has acquired three heavy-duty manufacturing machines.

The three machines include two Pick and Place machines for high volume production of surface mount device (SMD) technology, printed circuit boards (PCB) and a reflow oven for soldering.

The acquisition allows Murton System Technologies to offer a wide variety of services to fulfill every product development and production need, giving a total output approaching 500 000 component placements per day, with a special focus on fulfilling the outsourcing needs of companies requiring electronic turnkey production.

“Quick development and fast time to market are not just buzzwords and Murton is able to help companies achieve these elusive goals.  We are able to assist in conceptual product planning, System Engineering, functional circuit design, printed circuit board CAD design and layout, prototype production and validation as well as safety and government standard testing,” explained Murton System Technologies MD Brent Maurer.

“We are also looking at a major export initiative as well as offering outsourcing services to overseas companies fuelled by the weak local currency,” he noted.

He said product analysis can arm production managers with the information they need to make informed, effective decisions, which trade off the economic gains realizable by implementing process improvements against the product quality impact of those improvements.

MS Tech provides turnkey production services including procurement of components.  Quick-turn production is done on a regular basis.  With the acquisition of the three machines, delivery and production times have now been greatly enhanced.
