While Surface Mount Technology (SMT) dominates today’s electronics manufacturing headlines, Robotas Technologies Ltd. continues to lead the charge in advancing Through-Hole Technology (THT) assembly. With decades of experience and innovation behind it, Robotas offers intelligent solutions that meet modern production challenges, including its flagship Mascot System and advanced VERIFY inspection module.

As many manufacturers phase out THT equipment, Robotas remains one of the few companies still actively developing and supporting dedicated THT workstations. The Mascot System combines guided assembly, dynamic pick-to-light arrays, and laser precision to increase accuracy and efficiency on the production floor. Its VERIFY module provides real-time visual inspection for absence/presence and polarity errors — ensuring zero-defect assembly before soldering.
“Through-hole assembly is critical in industries like aerospace, defense, and power electronics,” said Georgina Blackwell, Product Design & Marketing Engineer at Robotas Technologies. “Our mission is to bring modern intelligence to these legacy processes and help manufacturers maintain high reliability without compromising efficiency.”
Robotas also supports seamless upgrades from legacy systems such as Contact Systems and Royonics, providing compatibility with existing CAD data and production formats. The Mascot Product Range can be configured for either batch production or fully integrated SMEMA controlled in-line production. The systems are customizable to fit a wide range of production environments. Robotas also provide retrofittable solutions to fit their equipment to manufacturers exiting production lines.
