The order covers an MYDATA MY19e pick-and-place machine, which has 256 feeder positions, together with Agilis feeders, installation, commissioning and training. A key factor in the decision of General Monitors to buy this equipment was the fast, easy changeovers offered by MYDATA machines and the Agilis feeder system.

The need for only single side access to load and maintain the MY19e was another important benefit, as was the very positive experience of the General Monitors manufacturing operation in the USA, where MYDATA equipment has been in use for some time.

“We delighted that, even in these difficult economic times, General Monitors saw the potential that MYDATA equipment offers for enhancing profitability by providing increased flexibility and efficiency,” said Steve Giffen, New Business Manager at MYDATA. “General Monitors is a dynamic, forward looking business and we believe that the company has seen the same characteristics in MYDATA, making us an ideal SMT partner.”
