Technical Answers
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
At the Enamelled copper wire soldering Enamel-insulated copper wires are prepared for electrical connection and tinned. Using a suitable soldering process, the enamel insulation can be thermally removed and the exposed copper conductor tinned directly. This allows the removal of the enamel and the tinning to be carried out in a single process step.
Involvement at the earliest possible stage is particularly beneficial when solderability, process selection or automation have not yet been definitively defined. In this way, insights from soldering technology, metallurgy, product design, software and automation can be incorporated into the development of the assembly and the subsequent manufacturing process at an early stage. EUTECT explicitly identifies this transfer of expertise as an integral part of the joint Evaluation.
By considering the soldering process, the product and automation together, interfaces and potential limitations can be identified at an early stage. This supports the development of a solution that not only achieves the required soldering quality, but can also be designed for volume production in terms of cycle time, process stability and cost-effectiveness.
Yes. The technical centre can, in addition to Evaluations also for Prototype soldering, small-batch soldering and C-sample production be utilised. This enables insights gained from process development to be further refined under conditions close to those of actual production.
It is precisely then that a Evaluation sensible. Different process approaches can be investigated using the specific assembly before a final decision is made on soldering methods, process parameters and automation.
Yes. As part of the Evaluation This makes it possible to identify potential product modifications that could make a soldering process more stable, more efficient or easier to automate. In this way, the evaluation can contribute to ‘design for manufacturing’ as early as the initial stages of development.
The evaluation report documents and explains the Results of the experiments carried out. This provides the customer with a clear basis for further process development and for defining the future production process.
The solder joints produced can be analysed and assessed, for example, using micrographs. EUTECT also refers to testing carried out by independent institutes in this context. This enables the results of the process trials to be objectively assessed and documented.
A Feasibility study examines whether a specific soldering task can be carried out technically and economically, and by which method. In doing so, it can also identify any necessary modifications to the product or assembly that would contribute to greater process stability or efficiency.
Yes. The Evaluation can take into account not only the actual soldering technique but also the future automation concept. This enables process and automation solutions to be coordinated with one another right from the development stage.
In addition to the properties of the solder joint, factors such as the desired product and process quality, existing or planned automation, production requirements, as well as cost-effectiveness and efficiency are taken into account. The aim is not only to achieve a technically sound solder joint, but also to establish an overall process that is suitable for subsequent production.
Yes. Customer assemblies can be manufactured at the EUTECT Technical Centre using various Soldering processes be processed. This makes it possible to assess feasibility under real-world conditions and to tailor the soldering process specifically to the product in question.
The starting point is the assembly, together with the customer’s technical and economic requirements. Suitable soldering processes are then selected and trials are carried out using the relevant process modules. The results are analysed and documented. This can lead to the development of a process definition and recommendations for the subsequent production and automation solution.
At the EUTECT Technical Centre, the focus is on Soldering process modules from the EUTECT portfolio. This enables different methods and process concepts to be investigated using real customer components, and the most suitable solution for the specific soldering task to be identified.
Early Evaluation helps to identify technical and commercial risks even before mass production begins. Various Soldering methods, process parameters and Automation concepts can be tested and compared with one another. This makes it possible to develop a stable and reproducible process for subsequent mass production.
In the Evaluation of a soldering process An assessment is carried out to determine which soldering process is best suited to a specific assembly, solder joint and production requirement. Factors taken into account include product quality, process reliability, suitability for automation, cost-effectiveness and the requirements of subsequent series production.
