Altus Enhances Traceability for Leading CEM

This investment supports the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality products to demanding sectors.

Active PCB sought to enhance productivity further by moving away from a manual, resource-intensive labelling process to enhance its traceability system. After evaluating several options, the company selected the YJ Link YLM Laser Marker from Altus Group due to its advanced features and seamless integration into their production process.

"With traceability and process improvements being key to delivering the highest quality to our customers, it was important to move away from a manual high-cost process. The YJ Link laser marker, supported by Altus, has provided an efficient and reliable solution," stated Jason Hancock, Head of Engineering at Active PCB Solutions.

The YJ Link YLM Laser Marker stood out for its capability to automate the repetitive labelling process, increasing productivity and allowing staff to focus on more complex tasks. Its internal flip functionality enables double-sided PCB marking without manual intervention, streamlining workflow and reducing handling time. The system’s large working area accommodates a wide range of board sizes, enhancing production flexibility. Equipped with a high-quality Keyence laser head, the YLM delivers precise, high-contrast markings, ensuring accurate traceability throughout the product lifecycle.

Since its installation, the YJ Link YLM Laser Marker has optimised Active PCB’s production workflow and delivered cost savings by automating the labelling process. The precise and durable laser markings ensure consistent traceability, supporting Active PCB’s high-quality standards.

"Active PCB’s investment in the YJ Link Laser Marker highlights their commitment to operational efficiency and quality. We’re pleased to provide a solution that enhances productivity and offers exceptional value," stated Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group.
