POOLE, U.K. — AMS Neve Ltd., a professional audio company, installed the iineo pick-and-place machine from Europlacer at its U.K. facility, marking the system's first U.K. installation. AMS Neve will use the placement system to keep pace with growth.

The upward and downward compatibility of feeders, software, and other ancillaries motivated the decision to use Europlacer's product, said Mark Crabtree, managing director and founder, AMS Neve. High feeder count (264 × 8 mm) and internal matrix tray platform, along with Europlacer's Integrated Intelligence, were additional factors. The iineo platform features linear motors and digital camera technology and is able to place 01005s.

AMS Neve provides audio electronics to Disney, Warner Brothers, the BBC, and other clients. The company added an iineo system to proof their manufacturing capabilities to meet future needs and capacity.
