SMT assembly
Surface-mount components placed and reflowed on the automated line. It is the most efficient technology for high-density boards and recurring volumes.
Department detailsServices
Contract electronics manufacturing
All our work is carried out to the customer's specifications. The scope of supply — from the assembled board alone to the finished product — is defined in the quotation.
Types of order
From prototypes to recurring production
There is no standard minimum batch: batch size is assessed according to the product and the customer's needs.
Validation
Prototypes
Small quantities built to validate the design. Any issues found during assembly are reported to the customer along with the boards.
Fine-tuning
Pre-series
The transition between prototype and production, in which the set-ups, test procedures and packaging methods for the series are fine-tuned.
Series
Recurring production
Batches scheduled over time, run with set-ups already in place and established procedures, which keeps lead times and costs down.
Available processes
Scope of supply
Each process can be ordered on its own or as part of the complete cycle.
Through-hole (PTH) assembly
A department dedicated to through-hole technology, including component insertion and machine soldering. Mixed SMT + PTH boards pass through the two departments in sequence.
Department detailsManual processes and wiring
Insertion of special components, wiring and cable harnesses, and assembly of mechanical parts to the drawings supplied by the customer.
Department detailsInspection and functional testing
Visual inspection of every board and functional verification according to the agreed procedure. Non-conforming units are set aside and reported to the customer.
Department details
Packaging and finished product
Packing in anti-static material to specification. Where the order requires it, we also assemble the complete product with its enclosure and accessories.
Department detailsSMT or PTH
Surface mounting is not always the most cost-effective solution. Through-hole is still required for connectors, transformers and power components and, on low-density boards or in small batches, it often means a lower overall cost: cheaper components, no dedicated stencils, simpler set-up. Choosing the most suitable technology is part of the preliminary assessment before we prepare a quotation.
How an order works
From request for quotation to delivery
The process is the same whatever the quantity.
STEP 01
Sending the data
Gerber files, bill of materials, placement data and planned quantities.
STEP 02
Feasibility review
We check manufacturability with the available processes and report any issues.
STEP 03
Quotation
Costs, delivery times and how materials will be supplied.
STEP 04
Set-up and production
Machine set-up and execution of the agreed processes.
STEP 05
Delivery
Packaging and shipping within the lead time set in the quotation.
Supply of materials
Components can be consigned by the customer or procured jointly, whichever suits the customer's organisation best. This is one of the points defined in the quotation, so that the terms are clear before the order starts.
Frequently asked questions
Before you request a quote
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
01What is the minimum batch size?
There is no standard minimum batch: quantities are assessed according to the product and the customer's needs, from a single prototype to recurring production.
02Which files do you need for a quote?
Gerber files, the bill of materials (BOM) and the planned quantities are enough. Placement data, assembly drawings and test procedures, if available, make the assessment faster. Files can be attached directly to the contact form.
03How quickly do you reply?
Requests are answered by the next working day. Lead times depend on quantities and components and are set out in the quotation.
04Can I supply the components myself?
Yes. Components can be supplied by the customer on consignment or managed jointly, whichever best suits the customer's organisation. This is one of the points agreed in the quotation.
05Do you also build prototypes only?
Yes: prototypes, pre-series and recurring production. On prototypes we report any issues found during assembly, which helps validate the design.
06Do you work in SMT, through-hole or mixed technology?
All three: an automated SMT line, through-hole assembly with machine soldering, and manual processes. Mixed SMT + PTH boards pass through both departments in sequence, in the same plant.
07Do you also test and assemble the finished product?
Yes. Every board is visually inspected and, following the agreed procedure, functionally tested. If the order requires it, assembly continues up to the complete product with enclosure and accessories.
08Do you sign confidentiality agreements?
Yes. Customers' designs, files and information remain confidential and are never published; on request we sign a non-disclosure agreement before the documentation is sent.
09Can I visit the plant?
Yes, by appointment: the plant is at Via E. Fermi, 5 — Zona Industriale, Acquaviva Picena (AP). To arrange a visit, just contact us.
