July 3, 2025 | Murray Percival CompanyEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Murray Percival Company, a trusted supplier to the Midwest's electronics industry, is pleased to announce that it has added CeTaQ to its line card, a global expert in Surface Mount Technology (SMT) measurement systems. This strategic addition strengthens Murray Percival’s commitment to delivering process optimization solutions to electronics manufacturers across the region.
CeTaQ is globally renowned for its expertise in measurement systems that enhance Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production processes. The company’s advanced tools and services allow manufacturers to optimize their SMT operations and avoid defects before they impact product quality, ultimately improving production accuracy and consistency. By leveraging CeTaQ’s capabilities, electronics producers can achieve tighter process control, higher quality, and improved efficiency in their assembly lines.
For example, CeTaQ’s portfolio of measurement solutions addresses several critical aspects of SMT production:
- Placement Accuracy: CeTaQ provides systems to precisely measure and verify the x-y-theta accuracy of component placement machines, ensuring high placement precision and helping optimize pick-and-place operations.
- Printing Precision: CeTaQ offers tools like its CmPrint system to analyze solder paste printing accuracy and consistency, yielding insights that improve print quality and repeatability in the stencil printing process.
- Force Measurement: Specialized equipment (e.g. CmForce) gauges placement forces (Z-force) on SMT machines, enabling calibration that prevents component damage and maintains stability and reliability in high-speed assembly.
- Process Capability Analysis: As the world’s leading provider of machine and process capability testing in SMT manufacturing, CeTaQ delivers data-driven analysis (MCA tests) that helps identify process variations, reduce errors, and drive continuous improvements in yield and quality.
Murray Percival’s partnership with CeTaQ is built on a shared dedication to customer success and innovation. Both companies prioritize understanding the unique challenges of electronics manufacturers and providing the hands-on support needed to overcome them. By joining forces, they ensure that Midwest customers receive objective data from the most advanced measurement systems for machine/process capability in SMT available today.
“At Murray Percival, we don’t just drop off equipment and walk away, we get in the trenches with our customers and do whatever it takes to help them achieve their goals” said Murray Percival III, Sales Manager at The Murray Percival Company. “Partnering with CeTaQ means we can offer deeper insights and tighter process control to help manufacturers fine-tune their SMT lines”.
