Surface Mount Technology
At Stewart Technology, our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) capabilities form the backbone of our high-quality electronics manufacturing services. With advanced Siplace placement lines, skilled technicians and strict process control, we deliver PCB assemblies that meet the highest standards of accuracy, consistency and reliability.
SMT enables compact, high-density circuit designs, fast throughput and exceptional repeatability. Whatever your requirements, Stewart Technology provides dependable SMT assembly tailored to your needs.
Advanced Siemens SMT Lines
Our Siplace Surface Mount lines are engineered for speed, precision and versatility, with the theoretical capacity to place three million components in a single shift.
Each of our four SMT lines are fully standardised, giving us exceptional flexibility in production planning, rapid changeovers and the ability to adapt to customer needs quickly and efficiently.
In-House Programming and Operator Expertise
We take pride in being fully self-sufficient in machine programming and maintenance. Our responsible, cross-trained machine operators manage each line with precision, conducting thorough first-off checks for every board assembled. This ensures correct setup, stable processes and consistent high-quality results from the very first unit.
High Performance Printing and Reflow
Our SMT lines are equipped with:
DEK solder paste printers with advanced vision alignment technology
High quality stencils for consistent and accurate paste deposition
Modern reflow ovens with optimised thermal profiling
These assets allow us to achieve predictable solder joints, stable results and strong mechanical and electrical connections across all assemblies.
How it Works
Why Choose Stewart Technology for SMT?
Competitive, Value-Driven Pricing
Our efficient processes, experienced staff and in-house capabilities allow us to offer highly competitive pricing without compromising on quality – we are rarely beaten on cost for equivalent capability.
Highly Skilled, Cross-Trained Operators
Our operators are trained across multiple roles, enabling them to confidently run, monitor and verify SMT processes. Every job receives a detailed first-off check to ensure correct setup, alignment, component verification and solder paste quality before full production begins.
Comprehensive Inspection at Every Stage
Using AOI, X-ray and Mantis inspection systems, we verify everything from placement accuracy to hidden solder joints. This multi-layered approach gives customers complete confidence that each assembly meets strict quality expectations.
