Smart Tweezers are Siborg Systems Inc.’s answer to the old problems of testing and troubleshooting Surface Mount Technology with conventional bench-type testers. With the use of only one hand, Smart Tweezers automatically identify and evaluate all types of passive and through-hole components for Inductance (L), Capacitance (C) and Resistance (R).
Advance Tech Services have made a deal with Siborg Systems to market the innovative device in India and Asia. Advance Tech is a leading supplier of tools, equipment and consumables for the electronics industry, including electronic maintenance. It also provides a one-stop shop for electronics in automotive and process industry.
Ajay Gupta, the Director of Marketing at Advance Tech says;
“Many modern electronic devices, such as mobile phones, personal computers, tablets, etc. use very dense Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). It is virtually impossible to use any conventional testers o 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.”
With a proven successful design from the beginning, the integration of a set of tweezers, a powerful LCR-meter, and a small display makes Smart Tweezers the ultimately handy tool for working with Surface Mount Technology (SMT). Unlike conventional testers, Smart Tweezers is easily held in one hand, leaving the other free for taking notes or holding other tools, and requires little to no set-up with fully automatic evaluations.
The newest model, the ST5, features designated ESR measurements, component sorting and continuity and diode testing, with a basic accuracy of 0.2%, an estimated 6 times higher basic accuracy than previous models. The mechatronic design of the device allows for very low, well defined parasitics that are simply removed using the semi-automatic offset subtraction. The device, after slight setting-up, will remove the parasitics, allowing for measurements as low as 1 picofarad and 1 milliohm for resistance and capacitance, and to a fraction of microhenry for inductance.
Smart Tweezers have become a proven handy, professional grade tool for reworking, repairing and manufacturing technology using Surface Mount Technology. They are efficient for component sorting, PCB debugging and work involving electronics.
