Turnkey Box-Build & PCB Board Level Manufacturing
Electronic control production relies on expert, leading-edge PCB assembly and manufacturing services, and Etratech Inc. boasts a full resource of experienced manufacturing engineers and technologists to fill that need. Our PCB manufacturing and assembly services are the backbone of our installation-ready electronic controls, available as box-build assemblies. With services like our Total Acquisition ManagementTM (T.A.M) system, which lets you leave any and all necessary material and component sourcing and production to Etratech, with the confidence that you're getting the most competitive pricing available, we cover all steps of the process, from control conceptualization and design, to surface mount (SMT) or through-hole PCB production, to all mechanical operations for enclosures and fixtures.
Our all-inclusive PCB build capabilities include all component sourcing, installation, and assembly. From standard electronic and IP&E components, to odd-form components like bulbs, relays, and connectors, no part is too difficult or out-of-reach for us to secure and integrate with your PCBs. Our high-speed SMT services feature state-of-the-art pick and place modules with capabilities up to 36,000 CPH, and quality check after quality check: component verification, automated optical inspection (AOI), and bar code-based work order matching.
In addition to our SMT capabilities, we also feature expert through-hole-mount services when larger PCB components are required. Our axial lead insertion capacity runs to 26,000 CPH, and our radial lead insertion machines are rated at up to 16,000 CPH. In addition to our automated capabilities, we also offer manual and by-hand through-hole mounting.
Total Quality Management drives our testing and inspection processes, and we pride ourselves on providing accurate, error free PCB assemblies and electronic controls to our customers. We utilize the most advanced modeling software for both electronic and mechanical component design, including CAM350 for PCBs and SolidWorks for enclosures.
Our electronic controls can be found in all types of products, across a variety of industries: refrigerator controls and HVAC systems in the home; LED and LCD dashboard displays, seat switches, and CAN- and LIN-bus interfaces in automobiles; and instrument panels, solar panels, lighting systems, and door and window controls in RVs and marine vehicles. These are just a few of the many control applications that Etratech's products enable: be sure to see the list below for many more examples. With ISO/TS 16949:2009 certification and a commitment to RoHS compliance, our services and products are both efficient and environmentally friendly. Our global customer base is evidence of our high-quality competencies in PCB assembly and control production as a whole, from the initial product design, to the warehousing and shipping of your products. Be sure to contact Etratech with any further questions on our capabilities.
