Manufacturing Capabilities and Expertise

Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

We use high-speed Europlacer IINEO pick-and-place machines – known for flexibility and capable of placing over 48,000 components per hour, from tiny 01005 packages to large 50mm x 50mm devices (1,700 ball grid array). Our pick-and-place machines are loaded with smart feeders throughout and the machines themselves equipped with built in electrical test – enabling passive components to have first-off validation measurements prior to placement.

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)

Our SMT line includes a SpeedPrint solder paste printer with 2D inspection and 100% 3D AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) at the end of the process to ensure every joint and component meets IPC standards. This 3D inspection system provides shadow-free height measurement and can measure solder volume at the joint – this gives us huge confidence in the product leaving the factory.

Manual & Selective Soldering

For rigid PCBA, we use ERSA VersaFlow One - selective soldering equipment to ensure repeatable and precise soldering.

A nitrogen supply is used throughout the process to improve joint quality and reduce oxidation – especially important when working with lead-free solder or sensitive components. Our team of highly skilled and experienced manual Through-hole personnel are on hand to assemble more complex assemblies alongside.

Box Build, Assembly & Test

Beyond the PCB, we offer complete product assembly. This includes sub-assemblies, wiring, chassis build, test, and full enclosure integration – all under one roof.

We work from your documentation or develop build instructions in-house, supporting everything from low-volume bespoke units to fully assembled, tested and packaged products.

Full Traceability

Our barcode-based tracking system records every step of the build – from SMT setup through to final test and assembly.

All manufacturing and test data is logged in a centralised database, giving you full traceability and production history for every unit we build.
