Optoelectronics firm CyberOptics has announced that Assembleon, a major provider of surface mount technology robotic assembly equipment, will retain CyberOptics as its sole supplier for the alignment sensors deployed on its pick-and-place platforms. Assembleon announced last year that it would develop its own alignment sensors in-house and would gradually phase out the use of CyberOptics alignment sensors. Sales of new alignment sensors to Assembleon at this time accounted for approximately ten per cent of CyberOptics' total revenues. Kathleen P Iverson, chairman and chief executive officer of CyberOptics, said the firm is "extremely pleased" to learn that it will retain the business of Assembleon. "We also appreciate the confidence this world-class supplier of robotic assembly equipment is demonstrating in our alignment technology," she added. In May, CyberOptics announced the opening of its new sales, service and training centre in Shanghai, which will also serve at the company's headquarters in China.!http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1785&itemid=19378606|alt=ADNFCR-1785-ID-19378606-ADNFCR|src=http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1785&itemid=19378606!
