About Us
Our Story
Last summer, we founded a company developing advanced electronics for robot combat competitions. We were inexperienced and didn’t understand the market so the project didn’t work out. Throughout the project, we spent a lot of time designing and assembling PCBs on a tight budget. Like many others, we found that tweezers were cumbersome tools for placing SMD components. The search for a better alternative led us to vacuum tweezers, tools designed to pick and place SMD components using controlled suction. The plan was to buy something off the shelf, but all of the products that were in our price range were not usable. On the other hand, the existing professional tools would have drained our bank account. We were stuck between cheap, low quality options and expensive industrial tools, most of which lacked all the features we were actually looking for.
Out of this frustration, one of our team members got to work, and in a few days, we had a functional tool that made assembly faster and easier than before. After using it ourselves, we realized we could provide a better alternative to others facing the same lack of options. Using our prototype as inspiration, we redesigned our vacuum tweezers from the ground up. Highly functional while still remaining simple and repairable.
