Microscreen, a U.S. manufacturer specializing in high-precision SMT solder stencils and custom tooling solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its newest facility in Oxford, CT. The new location expands the company’s manufacturing capacity and provides faster service to customers throughout the Northeast.
Headed up by Jeff Poulos, Microscreen’s East Coast Regional Manager, the Oxford facility opening marks another step in Microscreen’s continued investment in U.S. manufacturing operations and long-term growth plans. The 8,000 sq. ft. facility manufactures SMT stencils with a 24-hour turnaround. Additionally, the location puts customers from Maine to Philadelphia in range for one day ground shipping.
“We’ve been looking at ways to better support our customers in the Northeast, and Oxford made perfect sense for us,” said Nik Thomas, Director, Microscreen. “We have an experienced team in place, and we are continuing to invest in in new equipment that will allow us to offer even more capabilities for our customers.”
Microscreen’s Oxford facility is equipped with a Tannlin T11 laser system, capable of cutting approximately 10,000 to 15,000 apertures per hour. A Watt Laser SE12 Pro also is in operation for stencil inspection, step welding and aperture measurement.
Microscreen manufactures all major frame types and foil systems at the facility, including VectorGuard, Apshen quick-mount adapter systems, QTS Wizard and rework stencils. Datum PhD and Datum Fine Grain (FG) stainless steel foils are available, along with green frames for lead-free applications.
