en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hanwha Semitech Americas recently supported Regal Technology Partners in installing a new SMT production line, equipped with SM481 Plus and SM485 Plus pick-and-place machines, along with a 10-zone reflow oven.

Located in Santa Ana, California, Regal Technology Partners provides engineering and manufacturing services for aerospace and defense programs, covering air, land, sea, and space platforms. The company specializes in high-mix, mission-critical electronics manufacturing, producing circuit card assemblies, cable harness systems, and complex chassis assemblies in an ITAR-controlled and AS9100-certified environment.

Scott Lantiegne, Vice President of Operations at Regal Technology Partners, stated that with this latest investment, Regal now uses 100% Hanwha equipment to maintain industry leadership and produce high-reliability CCAs. The entire installation and production ramp-up were completed within four days. The four-day installation with zero disruption to production schedules demonstrates the power of collaboration between the two teams, delivering the capacity and consistency that defense and aerospace customers rely on.

The SM481 Plus is designed for high-speed chip placement, providing the throughput required for high-volume standard SMT components while maintaining placement accuracy. The SM485 Plus expands the production line's capability to handle a wider range of component types and board configurations, including large odd-form parts commonly found in aerospace and defense assemblies.

The newly added 10-zone reflow oven offers more precise thermal control and more stable soldering profiles across different products and manufacturing needs. Together, these systems give Regal greater control over throughput, process consistency, and overall line efficiency.

Hanwha Semitech Americas and PMR representatives supported the installation and startup efforts, working with the Regal team to bring the production line online.

Regal Technology Partners expressed gratitude for the support and collaboration of both teams throughout the project.
