SMAC Moving Coil Actuators is transforming the smartphone industry with its cutting-edge actuator technology, enabling ultra-precise, high-speed, and fully verifiable assembly and testing processes.
From glass cutting to camera lens assembly, SMAC actuators are redefining quality control and performance in smartphone manufacturing. Their programmable force control and patented Soft-Land capability ensure delicate components are handled with unmatched precision, reducing damage and scrap rates significantly.
Key applications include:
-
Glass Cutting (Corning Asia): SMAC’s LCA50-010 actuator delivers programmable force and Soft-Land features to prevent glass damage, even in shaft failure scenarios.
-
Camera Lens Assembly: The LCR16 Series Linear Rotary actuator enables Z-theta axis control, reducing scrap rates from 30% to near zero by measuring tolerances and adjusting assembly in real time.
-
Touchscreen & Button Testing: SMAC actuators emulate human touch with 5–10 grams of pressure, offering real-time force and position feedback for haptic and fingerprint sensor testing.
-
Speaker Driver & Chip Assembly: With resolutions down to 0.1 micron, SMAC’s LCA25-010 actuator ensures precise placement of fragile components.
-
Emerging Applications: SMAC actuators are also being used in smartwatch button testing, laptop screen retention testing, and sound testing, with ongoing innovations in printed coil rotary motors and micro grippers.
SMAC’s technology is gaining traction among top OEMs in Japan, replacing traditional pneumatic systems with its LPL series linear actuators and 124K rotary encoders. Looking ahead, SMAC plans to unveil a human-sized direct-drive finger in early 2026, capable of replicating human force with enhanced torque and magnetic gearing.
“Our actuators don’t just perform tasks—they verify them in real time,” said a spokesperson from SMAC. “This dual capability is setting a new standard for smart manufacturing.”
