TracXon invests in new Essemtec Dispensing and Mounting Machine
TracXon is a spin-off of the renowned TNO Holst Center and specializes in the development and production of products on flexible and stretchable printed films. Producing this requires expertise and know-how in combination with machines that are capable of producing these challenging applications.
Flex to stretch
To meet the new market requirements regarding processing of foils in the consumer, industrial and automotive industries, among others, TracXon focuses on developing progressive and future-oriented products with printed electronics.
“In addition to the technical and aesthetic benefits, this method of production avoids the use of excess copper, chemicals and other residual waste required in the manufacture of traditional PCBAs.” says Ashok Sridhar, CEO of TracXon. “The conductive ink is printed on wafer-thin foil and then jetted and plated with components.”

The investment in the Essemtec Puma enables TracXon to process foils of 1800x600mm, and to apply paste, epoxy and other adhesives. The ease of use and combination of different processes in 1 machine ensures great flexibility and guarantees the highest accuracy, where components up to a package of 008004 can be processed.
“We have two decades of experience with our Essemtec range of machines and work with customers in the Benelux who focus on demanding production solutions,” says Tom Van Tongelen, CEO of Smd-Tec. “The fact that TracXon has also opted for our unique solutions after a long selection period gives us great pleasure and we look forward to this fantastic collaboration.”
