Quality assurance for electronics manufacturing

THT assembly plays an important role for large and mechanically stressed components. High volume – low mix and increasing customer demands and quality requirements make electronics manufacturing more and more difficult. The number of variants and versions is increasing, and batch sizes are decreasing.

The increasing complexity in manual assembly leads to errors that result in rework, rejects, complaints or penalties. In the worst case, the customer looks for a new supplier.

The remedy is to safeguard manual placement with the Smart Klaus SK THT. He looks "over the shoulder" of the employee during assembly and immediately reports if an error has occurred. In this way, assembly errors such as missing or incorrect components, incorrectly polarized components, mix-ups of versions or variants can be corrected before the assembly group travels through the soldering system.
