Trust is good, but control is better!

Monitor and archive every production step to continuously improve your processes and ensure the highest quality for your customers. Our machines provide interfaces to upstream and downstream operations in the production line, along with traceability options, laying the foundation for Industry 4.0. 

• First Article Inspection
  A simple offline inspection procedure for your pilot series (0-series).
• 2D/3D Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)
  Traceable inspection of your solder paste application. Alternatively, this step can be handled by our solder paste printer or AOI.
• Pre-reflow 3D AOI (Automated Optical Inspection)
  Positioned before the reflow oven, this unit monitors your pick-and-place process, allowing for optimization and traceability. It inspects polarity, misalignment, and missing components.
• Post-reflow 3D AOI
  Real-time results inspection, supported and archived by artificial intelligence. These flexible AOI machines deliver maximum precision with an adaptive ultra-high-resolution tube and high speed. The AI continuously adjusts brightness, component height, and contrast to achieve the best possible results.
• Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI)
  At the end of the production process, AXI inspects complex components on your PCBs (BGA, BTC, press-fit connectors, modules, etc.). The built-in AI continuously learns and delivers faster and more accurate results with each scan. This rephrased version is clear and concise, emphasizing the features and benefits while maintaining the technical detail.

Oddform components and THT (Through-Hole Technology) remain widespread in the electronics industry.

THT machines improve process stability, increase quality and speed, and minimize human errors. They even enable component placement that would be impossible to achieve manually. Both hybrid placement machines and specialized THT automation systems can streamline your production process. You won’t have to sacrifice any of your usual optimizations: traceability, optical inspections, and pre-production management are all integrated into our THT solutions and are a core part of our offering. How does THT automation work? If you already have a prototype or a finalized PCB design, let us conduct an in-house study to determine the potential level of automation. Next, we’ll offer you the appropriate placement machine along with a theoretical ROI. Following this, we’ll provide advice on the results and, if necessary, suggest adjustments to the design, component packaging, and automation level. This ensures the highest possible degree of automation, all while keeping your project’s realistic budget in mind. A hybrid solution in THT placement is the most common approach, meeting the high standards of Industry 4.0.

Automated Cleaning for Various Applications

Save time and money with our versatile cleaning systems. Our machines are true multitaskers, handling various tasks such as cleaning PCBs, stencils, and other components—all with the same machine. Cleaning PCB assemblies after the soldering process significantly improves the reliability of electronic devices. Environmental Benefits with Cost Savings! Closed-loop systems not only benefit the environment but also reduce costs. Many of our machines are eligible for subsidies, making them an even smarter investment.

Our Cleaning Portfolio Includes: PCB cleaning, printer stencil cleaning, cleaning of mechanical parts and nozzle cleaning for pick-and-place machines. The machines handle the cleaning, rinsing, and drying processes fully automatically. Effective cleaning of stencils with fine pitch components like 01005 and 03015. Rinsing can be done in open, closed, or half-closed loop processes. Smartlink-SMT provides comprehensive process documentation, along with MES integration and production line automation solutions.
