CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today announced that Assembleon, a major provider of surface mount technology (SMT) robotic assembly equipment for the global electronics manufacturing industry, has elected to retain CyberOptics as its sole supplier for the alignment sensors deployed on its current and future pick-and-place platforms.

In 2008, Assembleon, a division of Philips Electronics, Inc., announced that it would develop its own alignment sensors in-house and gradually phase out the use of CyberOptics’ alignment sensors. Sales of new alignment sensors to Assembleon accounted for approximately 10% of CyberOptics total revenues in 2008.

Kathleen P. Iverson, CyberOptics’ chairman and chief executive officer, commented: “We are extremely pleased to retain Assembleon as a significant customer. We also appreciate the confidence this world-class supplier of robotic assembly equipment is demonstrating in our alignment technology.”

Andre Papoular, Assembleon’s chief executive officer, said, “CyberOptics’ alignment sensor technology has proven to be best-in-class, and it makes strong economic sense to maintain our established relationship with this reliable business partner. We look forward to working closely with CyberOptics on both our current and future pick-and-place platforms.”
