ABOUT US – COMPANY

The SMT technology started to develop ending 60s of XX century and it was increasing to become massive ending 80s.

Cipsa Circuits, producing printed circuits since 1982, detected a need of tooling to mount components overt the PCBs using that technology: to put the right amount of solder paste on the right place was needed.

Cipsa Laser was created

Integrated at Cipsa Group, the Laser division can to supply high precision cutting parts over metal, being SMT stencils its main product. Also, can be a provider of great several varieties of parts as gobos, 2D springs, probes for PCB flying probes test machines, mini stencils for component reballing, tensors, encoders…

Since 2020, in a collaboration with the French company CI Electronics, Cipsa laser build and deal all type of tooling for wave soldering, SMT process bases, Bases for press-fit mounting components at PCB, supports for flexible circuits, depanelling supports, coating supports and a long etcetera.
