Due to the increased demand for electronic equipment KCS Electronica Assemblage in Dordrecht, The Netherlands decided to expand their production process. To achieve this they needed machines that are even faster, more accurate and more flexible. That is why it was not that difficult to make the decision to choose for 3 DIMA Modulo Pick & Place Machines and the Solano Reflow Oven.

KCS have been working with DIMA Pick & Place machines for 17 consecutive years. They started using the Optimat followed by the Dymaxion for 9 problem-free years, so the choice for the Modulo (MP-100) and the Solano (RO-510) was obvious.

Krijn Kolff, director of KCS: “We again chose DIMA equipment because we have very positive experi-ences with the Optimat and the Dymaxion. The quality of the DIMA machines and the support have always been great, together with the favourable prices. Another advantage to us is the Dutch support, because the products are developed and produced in the Netherlands. “
 
Production process running at full speed
In the meantime KCS has 3 Modulo’s and one Solano running at full speed in Dordrecht.

The newly purchased Modulo’s gives KCS, in combination with the real intelligent feeders, optimum flexibility. This leads to zero change overtime and the flexibility of producing different batch sizes at the same time. The Solano RO-510 Reflow oven, offers exact control of all cells and total performance consistency, even under varying loads. This makes the Solano, plus its singular ability to function as a full convection reflow, the most desired premium-level system.
 
Built for Growth
Next to features like speed, accuracy, flexibility and easy to use, the Modulo’s have the advantage that they are modular expandable, the so called DIMA ‘Built-for-Growth’ concept. This gives the cus-tomer the possibility to configure the machine to the demands at the time of investment. When the demands of the market change, the DIMA-machine can be upgraded on site with the required mod-ules, and this upgrade is already demanded by KCS! Because of the expanded order portfolio KCS took the decision to upgrade all 3 Modulo MP-100’s with 6.000 CPH to a Modulo MP-200 with 12.000 CPH. Because of the ‘Built-for-Growth’ concept only the pick & place head of the MP-100’s with 2 pi-pettes had to be replaced by the pick & place head of the MP-200 with 4 pipettes.

Co-operation for more than 17 years
DIMA and KCS both have corresponding core values like innovation, quality and great service. The strong commitment to the needs of the customer is the most important, which makes working together only easier. This explains why DIMA and KCS have been co-operating for more than 17 years!
