Electrical and electronics industries

The electrical and electronics industries are characterized by short product lifecycles, pressure to innovate, and a trend towards miniaturization. As electrical and electromechanical components become smaller, more powerful, and more complex, the requirements for measurement accuracy, test procedures, and error detection during production and in quality assurance are increasing. Economy and sustainability also need to be considered. At the same time, competition is forcing manufacturers to bring new products to market quickly and ensure the long-term stability and mechanical and electrical durability of their products.

Squeezing more functions into smaller components requires more precise manufacturing. As a result, properties like dimensional stability and surface hardness are gaining in importance in the production of electrical and electromechanical components. However, sensitive structures like thin-walled parts or delicate mechanisms also increase the risk of defects during production, e.g. during injection molding, stamping, joining, assembly, and even product inspection.

Manufacturing in the electrical and electronics industries comprises many areas with different requirements in terms of materials, production technologies, and quality assurance. Force, pressure, acceleration, and torque all play a decisive role in the development of production processes and during production itself. Deviations from defined parameters can result in damage and malfunctions and generate additional quality costs.

This is where highly dynamic measurements with piezoelectric sensors enable efficient process monitoring, traceability, and continuous optimization of production processes. Our piezoelectric measurement and testing solutions and optical measurement technology solutions are application specific and can be seamlessly integrated into production lines – from individual sensors all the way to complete process monitoring systems, inspection systems, and assembly workstations for servo presses. Inline and end-of-line (EOL) vision inspection systems with AI-supported image processing and resolutions in the µm range provide automated 100-percent inspection and the greatest possible quality assurance in different production environments.
