AGILE ELECTRONICS ENABLE SAMSUNG TO PROVIDE MOST-COMPACT, HIGHEST-VOLUME CHIP SHOOTER
15 January 2001 - Agile Systems

Agile Systems Inc. announced today that it has partnered with Samsung Techwin Co. Ltd. to supply them with a head mounted power and control module that will enable Samsung to deliver to the SMT industry the most-compact, highest-volume chip shooter on the market.

Details of the Samsung CP60 will be unveiled at APEX, the world's leading Surface Mount Technology Exhibition, January 16 - 18, 2001 in San Diego, CA.

Samsung's aggressive goal to become the leading SMT equipment manufacturer in the world made them a perfect partner for Agile's technology. 'Agile's specialty is to provide the most advanced, feature-rich power and controls in the smallest form factor possible,' states Kevin Steele, General Manager of Agile's Automation and Robotics Operations. 'Samsung is the first SMT OEM in the world to integrate the Agile Intelligent Power Modulesdirectly onto the SMT heads.' This revolution enables Samsung to increase equipment reliability by significantly reducing wiring harness. At the same time, providing increased throughput in a reduced footprint.

Agile's MAXTM family of distributed motion controls integrates the motor amplifier with position controller and network interface in the smallest form factor demonstrated, to date. Agile Systems has six patents in place and several more pending for this world-leading technology.
