Increased efficiency through optimised processes
The integration of several manufacturing steps within a soldering process in a single production cell offers several advantages that have a positive impact on efficiency, quality and costs. By closely interlinking the individual production steps, such as fluxing, preheating, soldering, cooling and inspection, processes can be optimally coordinated with each other, significantly reducing cycle and set-up times. Logistical effort is minimized since material transport between separate systems is no longer necessary and no additional intermediate storage is required. This leads to a more compact and efficient production structure that reduces the space requirement and enables better use of existing resources.
Improved process control and higher quality
One of the main advantages of integrated production cells is the improved process control. Since all production steps take place within a single unit, production processes can be monitored and controlled in real time. This increases the reproducibility and quality of the manufactured assemblies, since errors can be detected early and reject rates minimized. Automation and digital control of the processes also achieve greater flexibility, making it easy to adapt to new product requirements or changes in production volumes.
Cost savings through optimised use of resources
In addition, the integration of manufacturing steps helps to reduce production costs. Lower personnel costs, reduced downtime and optimized use of operating resources lead to long-term savings and optimized cycle times. Furthermore, energy consumption is reduced since processes are controlled more efficiently and unnecessary movements are avoided. The combination of these factors makes production cells an economically attractive solution that helps companies to increase their competitiveness and adapt flexibly to market requirements.
The E-cell from EUTECT - A scalable solution
To meet these market requirements, EUTECT has developed the E-Cell, which is scalable and can therefore be ideally adapted to customer processes. The E-Cells stand for efficient use of space, ideal for EUTECT's modular soldering processes. With maximum dimensions of 2.25 x 3.15 m, the E-Cell can accommodate a variety of individual processes.
