We are pleased to announce the successful installation and commissioning of the Nordson SQ3000 3D AOI system at our facility in Pickering, North Yorkshire — a significant step forward in our continued investment in world-class manufacturing technology.
Supplied by IPP / CyberOptics, this cutting-edge system will further elevate the precision and reliability of our surface mount technology (SMT) operations. The SQ3000 is a globally recognised, market-leading solution that integrates 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), Solder Paste Inspection (SPI), and Co-ordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) capabilities into one powerful and versatile platform.
This latest investment builds on the technical enhancements we’ve made across our facilities over the past two years — from upgrading production equipment to expanding staff training and development initiatives. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement remains at the heart of everything we do.
“I am excited to announce a significant investment in cutting-edge technology at Contract Production Ltd that will revolutionise our SMT process and inspection capabilities,” said Andy Chiles, Managing Director of Contract Production Ltd. “Capable of imaging, inspecting, and verifying the smallest 0201 components, this strategic investment will future-proof our SMT processes and support the highest standards of component placement and quality assurance for years to come.”
Andy continued:
“I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to all our staff, customers, and stakeholders who have supported our growth journey with confidence and enthusiasm. We couldn’t have achieved this without your continued belief in our vision.”
This milestone reflects our long-term dedication to delivering high-quality, reliable contract electronics manufacturing (CEM) services to our clients across the UK and beyond.
