A decade of operating
In March 1997, Val and Paul Ironmonger estbalished CPI Electronics at Monarch House in Hellaby, Rotherham. There aim was to provide class leading electronic design and manufacturing and to develop the company into a market leader.
The company saw continuous growth and progression throughout its early years and increase output as well as quality gathering substantial experience of the industry and building up its client base. The company also increased its workforce from a mere 5 to 12 during the next few years.
CPI continued to develop and thus new premises were needed to contiue its success and sustained growth, and in January 2007, Rowan House, CPI's second premises commence operations and is awaiting an official opening by the major of Rotherham, to which a date is to be confirmed.
After a decade in business the Company has transfered to a Limited company from its original sole trader roots and has seen its work force multiply more than 3 times since its inception and now has the capability for increased production, output, client base and can offer unrivaled service through either its deidcated staff and its state of the art machinery and equipment.

SAKI BF-Voyager AOI (Automated optical inspection)
CPI have now taken delivery of the very first SAKI BF-Voyager AOI machine in the UK. The SAKI has been supplied by Europlacer. The SAKI machine was evaluated with several other machine and was judged to give the best overall performance and ease of set up.
The SAKI machine is seen as a major process improvement tool which will aid the consistency of high quality assembly. The machine can inspect up to 500 X 460mm PCB within a 19 second cycle time, giving full inspection to solder joints, component presence and placement accuracy, component legends, colour and orientations.
CPI have also had installed the SAKI off line repair station, which allows all PCB’s scanned to be barcoded. Any failed AOI PCB’s are segregated and scanned in at the repair station, giving a detailed report on failure reasons. Data can then be entered as to faults found which can then be fed back into process. What this system also gives CPI is full build traceability. CPI can scan the PCB in and tell who, when, what issues were found on each PCB instantly. This system eliminates the need for marker arrows/ stickers which can some times fall off (meaning genuine faults are missed) or even being left on the PCB when shipped to the customer!
