EUTECT pursues a consistent approach to the circular economy. Functional components such as mini-wave modules, solder nozzles, cables, control components and the process cell are not disposed of after use, but refurbished, tested and reused for new applications.
The basis is the cradle-to-cradle principle (C2C). Instead of disposing of products, materials should remain as "technical nutrients" in closed technical cycles and not become waste. This concept was developed by Michael Braungart and William McDonough and is based on complete reuse, recycling or regeneration.
EUTECT consistently applies the cradle-to-cradle principle to selective soldering technology:
- Reuse: Fully functional parts are refurbished and reused in as-new condition, e.g. soldering modules and nozzles.
- Modularität & Austauschbarkeit: Bei den E-Zelle sind Elektronik und Verkabelung zentral in leicht tauschbaren Schaltschränken verbaut. Das erhöht die Servicefreundlichkeit und erleichtert den Ausbau im Sinne des Cradle-to-Cradle-Prinzips.
- Conservation of resources: The material value is retained and the environmental impact is reduced by reworking, replacing used parts and extensive testing.
Knowhow-Erhaltung: Frühere Entwicklungen bleiben als technisches Wissen erhalten und werden weiterhin genutzt. - Circular economy: The entire process is part of a sustainable cycle in which technology and reusable components are integrated into new projects.
This approach offers customers a significant increase in cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Machines do not necessarily have to be purchased, but are also available as rental or leasing models. For example, for prototyping, pre-series production or as test systems in the in-house technical centre.
This reduces investment risks, speeds up project launches and shortens delivery times. This applies equally to complete systems and individual soldering modules, which are available directly from stock. If a module requires maintenance, a refurbished replacement module with the same performance can be provided at short notice and without delay.
