Higher level of automation Pt. 2: LHMT delivers four more ROBI-FLEX 2×1 to ILFA

Published by f.schwarz on

In mid-July, we had already received six ROBI-FLEX 2×1 loaders and unloaders from LHMT and integrated them into our production. Now, in September, the next delivery took place and another four of the handling devices were installed in our OFT (surface technology). This has further increased our degree of automation, because now loading and unloading is also fully automatic on our deburring machine and on the palladium line for direct metallisation. Of course, this relieves the colleagues who previously filled the machines manually and gives them more freedom for organisational activities within production.

The ROBI-FLEX 2×1 loaders and unloaders are an important building block in our automation strategy, which is designed for ILFA’s technological growth. The overall concept, which was developed together with the Schmoll machine group, provides for even more handling equipment, among other things, and intervenes deeply in our processes, which are permanently reviewed and optimised if necessary anyway.

The handling equipment eliminates the need for manual loading and unloading of the production lines

The integration of the machines usually takes only a few days, and production continues seamlessly in the meantime. This is due, among other things, to the good planning and the competent cooperation of the LHMT technicians and the ILFA process and operating technology, who think deeply into the processes and proceed with the necessary sensitivity when lines are interrupted at short notice. However, due to the subsequent automation, the interruptions can be quickly compensated.

The LHMT service technician “knee-deep” in work: the handles fit perfectly!

We would like to thank LHMT for the fast delivery and smooth implementation. The service technicians are already well acquainted with us and know where to find things. This is how a trusting cooperation works and LHMT is welcome to supply us again soon

ILFA invests in new CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine from I.T.C. Intercircuit

During the IPC APEX Expo 2024 in Anaheim, California, we awarded I.T.C. Intercircuit, one of the leading suppliers of equipment for the PCB industry, the contract for a new plugging machine. The CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine is a real innovation: filling and cleaning take place in just one fully air-conditioned chamber, and through-holes and blind holes on both sides of the PCB are filled in a single operation.

Trade and in-house production of printed circuit boards: The best of both worlds at ILFA

The ILFA business model combines the best of both worlds for its customers: The in-house production of complex printed circuit boards in Hanover as well as the trade with printed circuit boards from controlled external production. Our Asian partners are personally qualified by our own local office in Shenzhen. Regular audits ensure consistent material quality and smooth production processes. From small batch sizes for samples to large series, we can fulfil any request. This makes us particularly interesting for all electronics companies that do not have their own contacts in Asia.

Prospective electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA

In February, we had 14 vocational students training to become electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA. In addition to four of their teachers, they brought with them a great thirst for knowledge and numerous questions about ILFA and our printed circuit boards. The 14 young people attend the BBS ME in Hanover, where they complete the two-year school-based training programme.
