LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers will be on sale for Black Friday; starting at midnight on November 27th, 2015, Siborg Systems Inc. will be offering both devices for a discount through their website and Amazon channels.
The LCR-Reader’s sales price is available through LCR-Reader.com. Amazon.com, and Amazon.ca.
The Smart Tweezers are available on Smart Tweezers US, Smarttweezers Canada, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.
A new optional replacement tip has been made available. This new design is more ergonomic than the straight-tip models by angling down toward a component or PCB, making it easier to hold the LCR-Reader or Smart Tweezers device at a more horizontal level. All devices will still be equipped with straight-tips, with the bent-tip an additional purchase.
On October 7th, at 11:30AM, Siborg Systems Inc. will be presenting the LCR-Reader at Taitronics: Taipei’s International Electronics Show.
The 20 minute presentation will cover details about the LCR-Reader, including the differences between LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers devices; the new calibration jig and the future of calibrating LCR-Reader, and the history of Smart Tweezers since its debut in the early 2000’s.
The presentation will offer insight to the Smart Tweezers brand as well as educate potential users to the simplicity and ease of LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers.
See the presentation at 11:30AM on October 7th, at Area I, 1F, TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall during Taitronics, and visit the LCR-Reader booth at J0301. We hope to see you there!
A new partnership between Siborg Systems Inc. and LINDIN Co. Ltd. in Vietnam has been established. LINDIN Co. Ltd. will distribute Smart Tweezers and LCR-Reader LCR-meters in Vietnam and surrounding areas.
LINDIN Co. Ltd. is a distributor and reseller of test and measurement equipment, educational technology products and maintenance services of many well known name brands. They also offer consulting for equipment in industrial, manufacturing, distribution and service industries.
This new distribution deal will bring the LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers line of LCR-meters closer to home for Vietnamese and surrounding Asian customers. This will save time for shipping and customs.
Siborg is excited about this new partnership and believes that the Smart Tweezers family is a great fit among the other products that LINDIN Co. Ltd. offers.

For the first time ever, Siborg Systems Inc. will be showing their LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers LCR-meters at Taitronics: Taipei International Electronics Show.
This is the 41st ear of the Taitronics; the show is known for displaying leading electronics, including components, lighting and applications, industrial process and automation equipment, consumer electronics, batteries, electrical energy, broadband products and cloud technology, meters and instrumentation for the electronics fields.
“We are excited to bring LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers LCR-meters to Taitronics in Taipei. These products will be a great fit among the other leading technologies. We have a few distributors in China, but only one in Taiwan, Ascentex. We are hoping to establish new contacts in Taiwan and possibly in Hong Kong and China.” says Michael Obrecht, the Director at Siborg Systems Inc.
Siborg Systems Inc and the Institute of Automation and Electrometry at the Academy of Sciences have banded together in creating new calibration jigs with 4 and 2 wire connections allowing for all models of Smart Tweezers and LCR-Reader to be calibrated.
This jig cannot create NIST certificates and needs to be certified itself, but is a helpful tool for periodically checking the accuracy of devices as well as troubleshooting if a device should fail or malfunction.
When connected to a Smart Tweezers or LCR-Reader device, one press of the button allows the calibration jig to systematically cycle through 14 known components. The results are then displayed on the ST or LCR-Reader display to be compared to the known values.
The 4-wire jig is compatible with models from ST-3 and up, including the LCR-Reader, while the 2-wire jig is best for older models.
Since the LCR-Reader does not come with an NIST traceable certificate, Siborg sent 4 randomly chosen LCR-Readers to Toronto’s Navair Technologies, one of the leading calibration facilities in Canada that offers NIST certification.
Siborg has recieved the results and they provided surprising results. Siborg has claimed that the LCR-Reader offers a 1% basic accuracy, while the results are closer to 0.5%. The only measurement that was away from the estimated values was the 1 Ω measurement which is off due to parasitics between the tips.

Siborg Systems Inc. has struck a new deal with Shanghai Cuiyan Electronic Instrument Co., LTD, a premium reseller based in China. This new deal will bring Smart Tweezers and LCR-Reader to China and surrounding areas.
Shanghai Cuiyan Electronic Instrument Co., LTD is a premium reseller of all sorts of products for the electronics industry in China and surrounding areas.
“We are excited for this new deal with Shanghai Cuiyan Electronic Instrument Co., LTD that will bring the LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers LCR-meters closer to customers in China and surrounding area. Customers will no longer have to wait for long shipping and customs times for their devices, they will also have a closer option if their devices need maintenance or repair.We think that the Smart Tweezers family of LCR-meters is a great fit amongs Shanghai Cuiyan Electronic Instrument Co., LTD’s other products and their customers will appreciate them.” says Michael Obrecht, the Director of Siborg Systems Inc.
The LCR-Reader from Siborg Systems Inc. is a stripped-down version of the Smart Tweezers line of LCR-meters. Siborg had been working for years creating a device like Smart Tweezers but with a lower price point to appeal to non-professionals. To achieve a lower price, features such as continuity/diode testing, component sorting, semi-automatic offset removal and the ability to change the test signal amplitude were removed.
Though lacking some features, the LCR-Reader not only automatically evaluates for Inductance, Resistance or Capactiance, the device also measures ESR values. Being able to evaluate the ESR is important for electrolytic capacitors. In some equipment, such as e.g. power supplies, with PCB populated with elements, not all of them in use, no documentation available, the only alternative is to plug in a replacement, time consuming and tedious procedure. Since it is known that for electrolytic capacitros ESR is an issue, it is a good idea to just test them first. It is not even needed to be a precise measurement, because when the elctrolytic capacitro dries up, its ESR goes from an mOhm range all the way to KOhms. This allows to make quick and easy repairs. Sometimes it just gives a better insight. It works well with any size, down to the smallest parts in new smart phones.
“Smart Tweezers offers the ability for quick and highly accurate evaluations of SMT components,” says Michael Obrecht, the Director of Research and Development at Siborg, “For model ST-5S the basic accuracy is about 0.2%. Our goarl for a few years was to reduce the cost of manufacturing of the device. Recently we introduced the LCR-Reader that is priced at half of the Smart Tweezers ST-5S price and we plan to further reduce the price with the help of Injohnson Precision Industrial.”
