Workplace health promotion: Health days at ILFA

In autumn 2022, we offered the “ILFA Health Days” for the first time. On two days, various measurements and courses were offered in the company, from which the employees could benefit within the framework of workplace health promotion. Both the Techniker Krankenkasse and the Physiopraxis Rückenstark from Hanover were present at our company on these days and had various activities in store that invited people to participate and try them out.

Day-to-day business printed circuit board: Robert Loboja

He recently celebrated his 20th anniversary with us and has been with ILFA for almost half his life. But he has retained his ambition and inventiveness throughout. So it’s time to pause for a moment and ask Robert how he has experienced the 20 years of work and the day-to-day business with the printed circuit board: “It’s sometimes amazing how time flies,” he begins looking back. “But I can still remember my start very well. And I can say both ILFA and I have developed very nicely over the years.” In summing up, we naturally want to know a little more.

ILFA invests in the expansion of its PCB lamination capacities

During the LAUFFER Technology Days, ILFA Managing Director Thomas Michels and LAUFFER Managing Director Christof Lauffer announce a close cooperation, which is sealed with a joint letter of intent. The new investment project, which is part of ILFA’s modernisation offensive, is aimed at a highly automated lamination centre that will sustainably support PCB production at ILFA’s Hanover site.

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

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.

ILFA at the B2Run company run in Hanover

The weather was perfect for running, the atmosphere was great and you could literally feel how eager the participants were to run together to the finish line. Around 10,000 runners from 410 companies were at the start when, after three years of interruption, they finally returned to the course around the Maschsee lake in the Heinz von Heiden stadium. Of course, we at ILFA didn’t want to miss out!

On the way to more automation: LHMT delivers six pieces of ROBI-FLEX 2×1

With the flexible automation concept ROBI-FLEX from LHMT, we get a bit more automation for our PCB production at ILFA. LHMT, a member of the Schmoll Maschinengruppe, has supplied and installed the first six loaders and unloaders for our production lines. Within just a few days, LHMT’s competent service technicians equipped us with the ROBI-FLEX handling devices for our tin and resist stripper as well as the acid etch, among other things.

ILFA commissions new plasma system: Boffotto P15V-E9

It’s another tick we can add to our investment planning: Our new plasma system was delivered and commissioned at the beginning of July. The Boffotto P15V-E9 is a “high volume” plasma processing system that processes rigid, flexible and rigid-flex PCBs at high speed. Hard-to-wet and hard-to-bond surfaces are activated, carbon residue or other contaminants in PCB holes are removed and inner layers are prepared for improved adhesion.
