Meet SASinno Americas

Six process lines, one idea: machines your own techs can keep running. Mike walks through the lineup, from wave and selective to the Star I-1 benchtop and the LM510 laser marker.

Elias put it simply: "And now I hear about you guys all the time."

300 → 9 hrs
From a host who runs one

Sean's shop, K&F Electronics, runs a SASinno Ultra I-1 selective machine. Rework on its through-hole jobs dropped from about 300 hours to 9.

Wave solder built to maintain

The fluxer pulls out, the preheater unplugs, the pot rolls out. Selectable fluxing uses 1.3 ml instead of 3 ml, saving 57% of the flux.

Selective uptime

An electromagnetic pump heated to the base, so there's no 5–10 minute wait. A pot trolley swaps lead and lead-free, and a 6am–6pm schedule heats it before your crew arrives.

The LM510 laser marker

Marks QR codes, text and barcodes, then scans, grades and repairs them. Available as a flipper, dual-gantry, or an island with destacker.
