Assembléon is proud to announce that it will officially hand over the 999th Assembléon A-Series, since its introduction in 2003, on the occasion of the Nepcon China exhibition in Shanghai next week. On behalf of Hefei/Revo, Mr. Zheng will symbolically receive their recently purchased AX-501 out of the hands of Burkhardt Frick, general manager for Assembléon in the Asian-Pacific region.

With this symbolic handover of the AX-501 pick & place machine to Hefei/Revo, Assembléon now has a world-wide installed base of almost 15,000 placement solutions, capable to place in total 100 Million components per hour at the industry's highest quality (<10 DPM). Being also the most energy efficient component placement solution, all A-Series in the world today save the energy which is generated by solar panels covering 60 times the sports field of China's National Stadium in Beijing, the Bird's Nest. Therefore providing opportunities to save on production costs next to a higher quality end-product for companies like Hefei/Revo.
