Improvement of production capacity in OPSIL Ltd.

Opsil Ltd. produces a high-tech product - target - a component made of silicon monocrystalline, which, under shot with laser beam, evaporates atoms for plasma/OLED coating on monitors and displays. The product is intended for the manufacturing stage of electronics’ companies, it is produced in small series of sizes, different for many of the orders and set by each customer. In particular, it represents a metal box with a surface of silicone monocrystalline tiles. Below this surface is based a copper rod, and underneath it a wavy bended pipe, through which passes water, cooling the copper rod and the silicon surface, when they are under laser beam’s shot. Opsil Ltd. sells a significant part of its production to a Korean company, which is the main supplier of plasma coating systems for the Korean technological giant Samsung, which determines unlimited demand for output for the capabilities of a small enterprise. A major problem in satisfying the increasing volume of orders, is the lack of automated power in the enterprise, needed for the bending of pipe cooling components. At this stage, the company bends with hand tools - with a vice, resulting in deformations and scrapping over 25% of the pipes. The main problem of the current operation is: delays, in terms to customers that are unacceptable when participating in a supranational production chain. In support of the main economic activity under NACE 26.70 „Production of optical systems and devices and components of photographic equipment“, under the project will be implemented: - Activity for improvement of the production capacity by investing in a bending machine for pipes, improving the bending process. In summary, through the implementation of the project, Opsil Ltd. will improve its production capacity and increase its competitiveness, thereby strengthening and expanding its positions on the Korean and Israeli markets and entering new markets for this highly specialized and high-tech production.
