DAYTON, OH ― July 2025 ― Libra Industries, a leading provider of systems integration, precision machining, metal fabrication and electronics manufacturing services (EMS), is proud to announce the upcoming installation of a high-performance Amada fiber-laser system, set to begin operation at its Guaymas, Sonora facility in early September.

As part of Libra’s continued commitment to excellence, highlighted by recent expansions in precision machining, sheet metal, and powder coating in Guaymas  this new laser system represents a significant step forward in automated fabrication and finishing capabilities.

Key Upgrades & Benefits:

• High-Speed, High-Precision Laser Cutting: The Amada fiber laser delivers rapid, automated cutting of complex metal geometries including stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and copper while maintaining tight tolerances (±0.005″) and clean-cut edges, reducing secondary deburring.

• Automation-Ready for High-Mix/Low-Volume: Configured for modern manufacturing, the system integrates seamlessly with automated loaders and part-sorting hardware, enhancing throughput and efficiency on diverse job runs.

• Optimized Materials Handling: Designed to accommodate coils, sheets, and tubes, the laser meets growing demand in aerospace, medical, and industrial markets, areas well served by the Guaymas plant’s 75,000 ft² capacity.

• Lean & Sustainable Production: The closed-loop fiber laser architecture minimizes energy usage and waste, aligning with Libra’s commitment to sustainability and quality management across all manufacturing processes.

Primary customer benefits include faster turnaround times enabled by automated nesting and high-output laser cycles, as well as enhanced precision to support complex aerospace frame builds, enclosures, and sheet-metal components. The addition of full-service metal fabrication within the Guaymas facility simplifies the supply chain by integrating cutting, machining, coating, and assembly under one roof. Finally, Libra’s U.S.-owned operation in Mexico offers a nearshore advantage—delivering cost efficiency without sacrificing responsiveness or proximity for North American customers.

“This new Amada laser greatly expands our metal fabrication capacity, bringing together cutting, forming, finishing, and assembly under one roof,” said Andrew Williams, CEO of Libra Industries. “Our customers benefit from single-source convenience, faster quotes, faster delivery, and world-class quality — all from our Guaymas location.”

This new system complements the advanced equipment already in operation at the Guaymas facility, including the FLC3015AJ Amada Fiber Laser and the EML2515AJ Amada Combination Laser/Punch Machine. Together, these assets form a robust fabrication platform capable of handling a wide range of metal forming and cutting applications with speed, accuracy, and flexibility.

North Attleboro, MA — July 2025 — DISTRON CORPORATION, a leading U.S.-based electronics contract manufacturer, has expanded its selective soldering capacity with the acquisition of a Juki Cube Inline Selective Soldering System. This marks the company’s second Juki soldering platform—joining an earlier Cube 460 installation that has already demonstrated reliable performance in DISTRON’s high-reliability production environment.

The newly deployed Cube Inline system delivers improved precision, flexibility, and productivity. With two independent soldering heads and inline integration, it streamlines throughput and supports conveyor board sizes up to 460 × 460 mm (~18 × 18 in)—key for high-mix, high-reliability production across medical, defense, aerospace, and industrial markets. The Cube Inline builds on core Juki capabilities such as servo‑driven XY and flux axes, ActiveFlow solder circulation, and multiple nozzle support for board and component variability.

“Our first Juki Cube 460 has proven itself as a workhorse, so adding the inline model was a natural step forward,” said Robert H. Donovan, CEO of DISTRON. “The Cube Inline gives us twice the headroom, tighter process control, and faster changeovers—essential as we continue to grow in sectors demanding zero‑defect soldering.”

The Cube Inline platform offers advanced features including offline programming, high‑precision servo motion, fiducial recognition, and full nitrogen support to reduce oxidation and improve joint consistency. Its modular architecture supports ActiveFlow modules, quick-change solder pots, and nozzle configurations to enable efficient transitions between different paint profiles and alloy types

This strategic upgrade reinforces DISTRON’s commitment to lean, high-quality electronics manufacturing using trusted automation technologies. With selective soldering now fully automated and scalable, DISTRON can deliver complex assemblies faster, more accurately, and with industry-leading consistency.

TROY, MI ― July 2025 ― Amtech Electrocircuits, a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, has introduced a trio of critical process enhancements aimed at helping customers navigate today’s evolving supply chain and production demands.

Amtech now offers a Tariff Management and Cost Intelligence Tool that tracks customs duties in real time at the work-order level. Customers gain instant insight into tariff exposure and sourcing risk, enabling smarter quoting decisions and stronger cost resilience.

In parallel, Amtech embedded DMAIC (Define‑Measure‑Analyze‑Improve‑Control) training into its project management workflows. This shift toward structured problem-solving and standardized process execution boosts consistency across global sites.

A newly launched Pre‑Production Job Setup Department ensures that every build is staged with verified programs, tooling, and material before entering the shop floor, minimizing surprises, downtime, and build variability.

“These upgrades reflect our focus on execution, visibility, and readiness across every phase from quoting through floor execution,” said Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech. “By tightening cost visibility and staging jobs before production, we’re improving speed, accuracy, and responsiveness for our customers.”

Amtech continues to reinforce its leadership in high-mix, low- to medium-volume manufacturing through strategic process enhancements. By strengthening digital integration and operational control, the company ensures that customers can scale reliably, even amid tariff shifts, sudden product ramps, or global complexity.
