Liftlogic strengthens the machine fleet to increase production

Swedish electronics manufacturer Liftlogic has invested in a new Yamaha YCP10 solder printer and Yamaha YSi-V AOI through Danish equipment supplier Core-EMT, to strengthen quality and flexibility in its production. The investment builds on the Yamaha pick-and-place machines Liftlogic installed in 2021 and is part of the company’s long-term strategy for scalable electronics manufacturing. By adding more components from the same Yamaha platform, the connection between process steps—from solder paste application and component mounting to AOI inspection—is strengthened, according to a press release from Core-EMT. “As our production has grown and we run more double-sided board assemblies, we saw a clear opportunity to improve precision, quality, and efficiency in the soldering process,” says Nicole Arnell, SMT Manager at Liftlogic. The company has also chosen to install the AOI off the main line, enabling parallel inspection without slowing down production pace. “By installing AOI equipment off the main line, we can work more efficiently while maintaining the speed and flexibility we need in production,” explains Nicole Arnell. Liftlogic has more than 30 years of experience developing modular control systems for the elevator industry and produces around 170,000 circuit boards per year
