- Pin Height Check – LCA25 carried by LCS50-050. Customer injection molds many Electrical parts for cars. Must check height of ALL pins. Used a ball screw with pneumatic LVDT. Too slow – short cycle life – LVDT repeatability poor due to impact. SMAC wins due to higher speed – soft land – much longer cycle life. Customer has put SMAC 2 axis stations on many fixtures. Since this is auto new products are continually coming up so steady customer. Another Tech Niche.nn
