Assembly equipment supplier represents Yamaha in SA

27 February 2002 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

In a relatively short period of time, Hawker Richardson South Africa has established itself as a leading supplier of electronic assembly equipment and service to the South African electronics industry. This is due largely to its representation of Yamaha pick-and-place machines. Having topped the 10 000 sales mark over a year ago, Yamaha has continued to place its priorities on high levels of multipurpose versatility and accuracy, and, as a result, has won huge acclaim in the world marketplace.

Some of the exclusive features offered on Yamaha placement machines include:

* 'Flying nozzle changer' heads;

* High-performance multiview recognition cameras;

* Dual servo motor drives;

* Feeder floating detection;

* Batch replacement feeder carriages;

* SMS software;

* plus a number of others.

Besides Yamaha, Hawker Richardson South Africa also represents Heller Industries, manufacturers of high quality forced convection reflow ovens, ECM entry-level automatic pick-and-place machines, Vision Engineering (nonexclusive) inspection systems, Cramolin spray products, Glenbrooke X-ray systems and, soon to be released, entry-level wave solder, screen-printer, and forced convection reflow oven.

Hawker Richardson says it offers full service and back-up, and maintains a large quantity of spare parts at its Sandton office.
