Cursor Controls – New Pick and Place machine

In recognition of their ever increasing product range and customer base, Cursor Controls have made the decision to invest in a new SMT line. Running alongside their existing capabilities, and utilizing the new Essemtec FLX2010, the new line will increase efficiency and reduce production times within the Cursor Controls PCB department.

Mike Thorley, the Commercial Manager at Cursor Controls said:

“We are dedicated to providing the best possible service to our customers, and a big part of this is ensuring that they receive our products in the shortest possible lead times. Our customers know that when we acknowledge their orders, we will give them a genuine delivery date, and more importantly, we will honour it!

It is our intention that our new pick and place machine will enable us to further reduce our lead times, and therefore further increase the satisfaction of our customers.”

Due to significant customer demand for a compact yet highly reliable removable ball trackball, Cursor Controls have introduced the P50 Compact trackball unit to it's already comprehensive range. Providing the user with a big ball feel in a small ball footprint, this Compact trackball is ideal for applications where integration space is at a premium. Designed initially to be aimed at the medical market, the removable ball feature and high grade components make this reliable unit ideally suited to harsh environments where cleaning may be required. Should you require any further information on the P50 Compact range, or indeed any other trackball application, please don't hesitate to contact the Sales Team.

Cursor Controls is proud to announce that their F60 range of Military Trackballs has been selected by a major Bluechip European Military System manufacturer.

Having decided that their existing trackball supplier could not offer the bespoke solution that the high end equipment demanded, Cursor Controls were requested to undertake the project.

After working closely with the Military System Engineers to determine the desired features and requirements, Cursor Controls designed and launched the F60 Military Trackball. Consultations and approval at each stage of the design process, including pre production prototyping, ensured that the final unit was exactly what the customer required.

After undergoing rigorous testing and approvals, the F60 has now been specified as the Trackball of choice for a number of high end military projects, including artillery hunting equipment and other radar modules.

If you feel that your trackball application requires a bespoke solution, contact the Cursor Controls Sales Team.
