Stacking by system
Endress+Hauser Wetzer is the largest company in Nesselwang, a resort well-known for skiing and hiking. Here, 363 employees mainly develop and produce devices for temperature measurement. The site emerged as a result of the takeover of a traditional local company by the Endress+Hauser Group. We have arranged to meet Mr. Harald Kraus, head of electronic manufacturing, and Mr. Gundolf Lippold, responsible for technical application in the SMD area. During our visit in the Allgäu we are especially interested in the PCB magazines that are in use in the automated assembly lines.
In the production lines PCBs are assembled with THT and SMD components. At the end of the process, each assembled board is once more automatically optically inspected for quality assurance. According to Mr. Lippold, within the last twelve months around 700,000 electronic flat modules have been produced at Endress+Hauser Wetzer. Approximately 90 million components have been processed on PCBs of various widths.
