The assembly workshop leverages in-house technical know-how and the internal design and manufacture of dedicated special-purpose equipment to guarantee full mastery of the connector production process.
The Assembly Workshop
The assembly process enables the mass production of finished connectors through the high-precision integration of plastic housings and stamped contacts. The assembly area is equipped with a fleet of approximately forty dedicated special-purpose assembly machines, capable of manufacturing connectors ranging from 2 to 85 ways at very high throughput rates. Each machine reflects combined expertise in mechanical design, automation, electrical integration, process tuning, and maintenance, ensuring robust, repeatable, and high-capability production.
Tailored Response to Customer Requirements
We design a dedicated special-purpose machine in-house for each connector in order to precisely meet our customers’ specific requirements. Our expertise in high-speed stamping and plastic injection molding is combined with full control of our assembly machines, which represents a major asset in the manufacture of quality products.
Our processes integrate several modules, including 100% production inspection, such as contact position verification, insertion depth verification, and short-circuit testing, in order to comply with our customers’ zero-PPM specifications.
Advantages of In-House Design
Our in-house design provides a perfect fit with our customers’ requirements, optimizing manufacturing processes, minimizing downtime, and ensuring consistent product quality. Our in-depth expertise enables efficient maintenance, accurate diagnostics, innovative solutions, and optimal machine operation.
Continuous Process Improvement: A Guarantee of Reliability
Our continuous improvement strategy aims to maintain high reliability of our machines by minimizing process variations and defects. This approach ensures uninterrupted production to meet the growing demand for connectors while consistently delivering quality that meets customer expectations.
