LongCloud Engineering’s SMT Spool is a tool-less fastening standoff. Enables precise, rapid horizontal board alignment. Align to the mounting hole, slide laterally and the assembly locks in about a second. Cuts screw-based assembly time by nearly 90% while reducing board-to-board collision risk. Custom heights provide controlled spacing for layout optimization and create thermal channels that improve airflow in high-density servers. Designed for full SMT automation. Spool is a pick-and-placeable with vacuum nozzles and is permanently secured during reflow. Available in standard sizes with custom design services for quick, repeatable, and reversible module installs.
Nectec's SMT lineup adds smart pick-and-place (desktop, high-speed, multi-function, odd-form and LED/DOB/LED-lens models up to 1500 mm), one-click feeder-cart change, QR/barcode traceability and smart feeders. Pairs with 3D-CT/HDR automated X-ray inspection and a high-speed X-ray counter (99.9% in 7 s, 7–17″ reels, down to 01005) with ERP/MES/WMS connectivity. Rounds out the line with precise lead-free reflow ovens (6/8/10/12 zones) and a co-developed soldering materials range for higher throughput and yield.
