- Industry 4.0 integration: With the growth of demand for functions such as remote monitoring and AI parameter optimization, Zhimao has launched *PC-BASE three-axis control system* to support IoT docking.
2. Market expansion direction
- Emerging fields: The use of PCBs for new energy vehicles has increased sharply (more than 200 pieces per vehicle), and special board splitters that are resistant to high temperatures and vibrations need to be developed.
- Sustainable development: Respond to global emission reduction policies by optimizing energy consumption (such as air-cooled heat dissipation) and material utilization.
4. FAQ
Q1: What are the main application areas of GENITEC's board splitter?
A: It covers consumer electronics (mobile phones, PADs), automotive electronics (vehicle control panels), 5G base stations, etc., and is particularly good at high-precision multi-connected board splitting.
Q2: What is the core difference between fully automatic board splitters and traditional equipment?
A: The degree of automation (such as CCD visual positioning), cutting efficiency (double-table design) and maintenance costs (modular structure) are significantly optimized.
Q3: How to evaluate the cutting quality of the board splitter?
A: It is necessary to detect the smoothness of the board edge (no burrs), dimensional tolerance (within ±0.02mm) and stress damage (through micro-section analysis), etc.
Q4: How is GENITEC's after-sales service guaranteed?
A: Provide *2-hour telephone feedback*, 1-day troubleshooting and free operation training, and establish a spare parts inventory center.
Q5: What is the price trend of the board splitter in the future?
A: Due to the cost of precision components, the price of high-end models remains stable, but intelligent mid-range models (such as the GENITEC GAM series) are expected to reduce prices by 5%-10% through large-scale production.
GENITEC has become a first-tier brand in the global PCB splitter market with its *superior R&D team, technical iteration capabilities*, *good quality and good reputation* and *large market share*.
