The Amfax a3Di PCBA metrology based inspection machine proved to be a big hit with customers visiting the Amfax stand at the recent Southern Manufacturing show held in the new conference centre venue in Farnborough.

Dieter Swindley of Amfax commented, "The busy Southern Manufacturing event this year allowed us to show visitors the performance advantages that the a3Di PCBA metrology system offers to businesses needing to improve the performance of their PCBA inspection facilities. We had a number of companies deciding to trial their PCBA boards on the machine at their facilities over the coming months"

Amfax will be exhibiting at the Southern Manufacturing exhibition. Southern Manufacturing is a 3 day exhibition that takes place the 6th – 8th February 2018 at FIVE, Farnborough. It is the UK’s largest regional manufacturing technology, electronics and subcontracting exhibition.

The team at Amfax look forward to discussing your specific manufacturing requirements with you during this well attended event. Amfax will also be demonstrating the award winning Amfax a3Di PCBA inspection system which reduces your inspection costs and helps improve product yield  when testing and inspecting your PCB Assemblies. Dieter, Steve and Rory from Amfax look forward to meeting up with you during the event. You will find us on stand B65

​Mike commented "It is great to see that companies are now realising the incredible business benefits that a3Di brings to the PCBA inspection market. The new software tools we have introduced at Productonica this year for fast programming and autotuning of boards along with the incredible new board debug capabilities keep a3Di well ahead of any other PCBA inspection machine currently available"
