Automatic LCR-meter Now Available in Over 27 Countries Worldwide
Siborg System Inc.'s LCR-meter Smart Tweezers has gained distribution partners offering the device on 5 continents. The device gets the first European center of calibration, new websites, and developmental help on a new model.
- (1888PressRelease) March 27, 2013 - Siborg System Inc. has penned deals with new distributors bringing the device to over 27 countries worldwide, established the first European calibration facility in Poland, launched new websites adapted to new regions and has begun development on a new model of the popular device with help from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Smart Tweezers [http://www.smarttweezers.ca] are a 2 oz. handheld, fully automatic LCR-meter able to identify the type of component and evaluate for Inductance (L), Resistance (R) and Capacitance automatically with just a touch of the tweezers' tips to a component. The newest model, the ST5, features continuity and diode testing, component sorting, and designated Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) measurements with a basic accuracy of 0.2%, an estimated 6 times higher than past models.
With help from new distributors, Smart Tweezers are available on 5 continents, in over 27 countries. These distributors provide products and tools for electronic industries in their regions, and agree that the device is a unique tool and a perfect fit among their lines. These partners include; Bokar International (USA), Advance Tech Services (India), CF System Technology (Malaysia), GoldTek (China), Van Device (Japan), KT International (Indonesia), SIBBIS International (USA), Production Solutions (Poland), Dipaul (Russia), PrinTec (Netherlands) and Newly-Tsuchiyama (Japan).
"From the very first look at Smart Tweezers it was clearly a perfect match to our line of products," says the CEO at Bokar International, Czeslaw Ruszowski, "We manufacture equipment for production, rework and repair of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) densely packed with SMT components, as small as 0.3 mm. It makes debugging of a faulty PCB virtually impossible with the use of conventional LCR-meters. Smart Tweezers™ light-weight design integrating high-precision SMT probes, accurate digital LCR-meter and an LCD display makes it easily usable by just one hand leaving the other free for taking notes or holding other tools."
"Many modern electronic devices, such as mobile phones, personal computers, tablets, etc. use very dense printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)." says Ajay Gupta, Director of Marketing at Advance Tech Services, "It is virtually impossible to use any conventional testers to debug Printed Circuit Boards with such small SMDs. Our customers would greatly appreciate a use of highly accurate automatic LCR-meter Smart Tweezers in their repair work. The number one application would be a mobile phone repair. "
Smart Tweezers [http://www.smarttweezers.us] feature very low and well defined parasitics due to its mechatronic design. Using the semi-automatic offset subtraction feature, these parasitics are simply removed, allowing for measurements as low as 1 picofarad and 1 milliohm for Resistance and Capacitance measurements, and as small as a fraction of microhenry for Inductance measurements. Not only are Inductance measurements are unheard of on similar devices, but with measurements of a fraction of microhenry, the device is essential for radio electronics.
For new users in so many regions, Siborg has launched new websites localized to these regions (USA, India, China, etc.). Each website features a video introduction and user tips for the device. The Smart Tweezers Blog [http://www.smarttweezers.us/blog] was also launched as a collective of all the news about the device.
Previously there were only 3 calibration centers worldwide (USA, Canada and India), this was an issue for European customers that require their equipment to be calibrated annually in order to remain ISO compliant. Sending the devices out to North America or India could be a long and costly procedure. With help from Bokar International, Siborg placed the first European calibration facility in Poland at Production Solutions, offering a more centrally located establishment to send their devices.
Development on a new model of the popular device has gotten underway. With help from the Institute of Automation and Electrometry at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk, the new model will still offer all the features that have become synonymous with Smart Tweezers, but with a lower manufacturing cost. Valentin Litvintsev, the Team Lead at the Institute says; "I liked Smart Tweezers from the very first glance. It is a very good product that is useful in many electronic applications. The only disadvantage it has is a relatively high price. I think we can manufacture a similar type of device with a bit lower accuracy but more affordable.".
Smart Tweezers have gained the reputation as an essential tool for testing and troubleshooting PCBs, as well as in-circuit and on-board impedance testing, SMT component sorting in all settings from production lines to research facilities.
