Soldering to customer order
Up to 60,000 assemblies per year
As a specialist in selective soldering automation, we have all selective soldering processes for the production of electronic assemblies in-house and make them available to our customers in the field of contract soldering. This enables us to manufacture up to 60,000 assemblies per year on behalf of our customers.
In our technical center, where we also carry out process evaluations to find solutions, we are able to implement selective soldering tasks on behalf of our customers. Electronics manufacturers are already using selective soldering processes and our associated expert knowledge to solder assemblies in small series, prototype construction or batch size 1. Without exception, we use controlled soldering processes with real process data that can be provided for traceability, for example for automotive products.
All soldering takes place under original process conditions. This means that we have specific soldering nozzles, thermodes, induction outer circuits, etc. manufactured in order to produce each assembly efficiently and with the most suitable solution according to customer specifications. This solution is also available to our customers following the respective production order for integration into a production line or customised soldering automation. This means that companies using this service can rely on the process development and over 40 years of experience of EUTECT process specialists in soldering technology.
Â
We also advise customers on the design of solder joints in order to further optimize the connection between the component and substrate. Such customer orders also provide us with information that can be used for further product and process optimization. We are happy to make this data available to our customers beyond contract manufacturing.
FAQs
For what order quantities is EUTECT’s contract manufacturing service suitable?
The Contract manufacturing It is suitable for individual assemblies and prototypes as well as for small-batch production. Depending on the assembly, process and manufacturing requirements, EUTECT can produce up to 60,000 assemblies per year on behalf of its customers.
Which assemblies can be soldered as part of a customer order?
In principle, the Contract manufacturing for electronic assemblies that require specific selective soldering processes. The actual feasibility and the appropriate soldering method are assessed on the basis of the assembly, the solder joints, the materials and the relevant process requirements.
Which selective soldering processes can be used for contract manufacturing?
EUTECT offers a range of selective soldering technologies and can design the process to suit the specific assembly and soldering task. Rather than prescribing a standard procedure, the process solution best suited to the specific joint is defined.
Is it also possible to produce prototypes and single-unit batches?
Yes. The Contract manufacturing EUTECT is specifically designed for prototypes and single-unit production. This enables companies to utilise professional selective soldering processes without having to maintain their own soldering equipment for the application in question. EUTECT
Can small batches be selectively soldered?
Yes. In addition to Prototypes and one-off items, as well as small batches, can be produced to order be manufactured. This makes it possible, for example, to bridge the gap between product development, the prototyping phase and the establishment of in-house series production.
How is quality ensured in contract soldering?
EUTECT relies on the Contract manufacturing controlled soldering processes using real process data. This enables relevant process information to be documented and made available for traceability. EUTECT
Is it possible to ensure traceability of the soldering processes?
Yes. The standardised soldering processes used provide real-time process data that can be utilised for traceability purposes. This is particularly relevant for applications with high documentation and quality requirements. EUTECT
Are custom tools developed for contract manufacturing?
Where necessary, specific process tools are designed for the respective assembly. These may include, for example, customised solder nozzles, Thermodes or Induction outer circuits belong to. This ensures that production takes place under process conditions that are tailored to the specific soldering task.
Can EUTECT help to optimise solder joints?
Yes. The process specialists also advise customers on the design and optimisation of solder joints. The aim is to optimise the connection between the component and the substrate in line with the relevant soldering process.
Can a soldering process developed in contract manufacturing be automated at a later stage?
Yes. A key advantage of this approach is that the process solution developed can subsequently be integrated into a production line or a bespoke automated soldering system. This enables the Contract manufacturing whilst also serving as a preliminary step towards establishing our own automated production.
When is it better to use a contract soldering service rather than having your own soldering equipment?
Contract soldering This can be particularly useful for prototypes, small batch sizes, product launches or fluctuating production volumes. It may also be a sensible option when process knowledge needs to be built up or a soldering process needs to be validated before investing in an in-house automation solution.
Can contract manufacturing be used for a subsequent series production run?
Yes. As part of the Contract manufacturing Process parameters, tools and process concepts can be developed and implemented under real-world conditions. The insights gained in this way can then be incorporated into further product and process optimisation, as well as into the company’s own future production.
What are the benefits of outsourcing production to a specialist in selective soldering?
Companies gain access to specialised soldering technologies, process expertise and an existing technical infrastructure, without having to set these up from scratch. At the same time, experience gained from manufacturing can be utilised to further develop assemblies, solder joints and subsequent production processes.
How does a contract manufacturing project get started at EUTECT?
To begin with, the assembly, the joints to be soldered, the quantities involved and the relevant quality and process requirements are considered. Building on this, the appropriate process solution can be defined and the implementation of the Contract manufacturing be planned.
