Count On Tools Inc. (COT), a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, is pleased to announce that it offers the discontinued 702/902 nozzle for ASM Siplace equipment.

ASM phased out the 702/902 nozzles in January 2013 with the 706/906 being offered as a direct replacement. Due to higher customer demand, COT continued production of the 702/902 nozzles in anticipation of customers still seeking to utilize the 702/902 nozzle geometry for 0201 (0.6 x 0.3 mm) and 0402 (1.0 x 0.5 mm) components in their pick-and-place equipment.

COT produces molded ceramic tips based on OEM designs utilizing the latest injection molding technology and materials. COT’s unique vacuum geometry provides excellent performance, saving customers time and money during production. All COT ASM Siplace nozzle bodies are machined from a high strength plastic, making them flexible and more durable than the competition.

COT’s ASM Siplace nozzles are available individually or in six-packs in the 701/901, 702/902, 704/904, 706/906 and 725/925 versions. COT’s current technology can be extended for applications including custom engineered nozzles for odd-form components such as LEDs, connectors, switches and more.

All nozzles are guaranteed to function properly with the original equipment. Every nozzle manufactured by Count On Tools comes standard with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. If any customer is not 100 percent satisfied with the performance or quality of a product, Count On Tools will replace it or offer a full refund. Count On Tools is a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts. The company has won numerous awards for its quality products and service. 

Count On Tools Inc. (COT), a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, received great customer feedback at the recent IPC APEX EXPO.

Count On Tools Inc. (COT) announces that it has been awarded a 2014 Circuits Assembly Service Excellence Award for its outstanding customer ratings, as judged by its own customers. Count On Tools was selected for the Equipment Suppliers Automation and handling equipment category.

Circuits Assembly Editor-in-Chief, Mike Buetow presented the award to Curt Couch, COT’s President, during a Tuesday, March 25, 2014 ceremony that took place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Mr. Couch commented about the award, “I must say that receiving our latest award from Circuits Assembly is the single most rewarding and gratifying award ever given to our company. Having customers grade you on what counts the most being customer service, is like receiving a ‘global stamp of approval’ and that what we’re doing is working and what we all expect as paying customers. Without satisfied customers our day-to-day activities in the way we handle success or problems is the measure of consistency and longevity in this industry or any for that matter. Having received this honor will not change how we treat our employees nor our customers but actually cause us to hold ourselves more accountable to strive to be the best at what we do while maintaining consistency along the way with both.”

 Sponsored by Circuits Assembly, the Service Excellence Awards (SEAs) for Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers and electronics assembly suppliers honor companies excelling in the crucial area of customer service. The program, now in its 22nd year, functions as a way for participants to see how they compare to peers in customer satisfaction.
