The Electronic Manufacturing Services at EBE sensors + motion:
SMT and THT Assembly, Optical Inspection and More
Yes, we can. The EMS experts from EBE sensors + motion at the plant in Tettnang master a whole production range of electronics projects:
- SMT assembly of prototypes and series
- THT assembly of small and large batches
- manual wiring
- optical inspection
- functional and endurance tests
The benefit for the customer:
- Electronic manufacturing services from one source. EBE sensors + motion complements production by advice, development, procurement, materials logistics and quality assurance.
- You get support during the whole life-cycle of a product. EBE already accompanies projects from the design and prototype stage. Next, the plant assembles and manufactures the PCBs resp. assemblies and later delivers the spare parts.
- EBE guarantees: flexible and cost-optimized manufacturing, safe processes, maximum machine utilization, reliable and fast delivery.

SMT PCB Assembly: High Degree of Automation
The EMS production plant of EBE sensors + motion in Tettnang operates two modern SMD machines. Their strengths:
- Assembly capacity: 85,000 electronics components per hour
- integrated continuous setup monitoring
- processing of all common sizes
EBE provides for traceability so that customers can automatically identify their PCBs and assemblies and trace complete batches. Upon request EBE labels PCBs before assembly with serial numbers, codes, logos or further data.
The soldering is made by the convection reflow or vapor phase process. The systems at EBE provide exemplary and reproducible soldering results. As a rule, EBE selects low set temperatures which treats materials gently and saves energy.
THT PCB Assembly: Robust Solution
The sensor and mechatronics products from EBE normally function reliably for decades. They measure filling levels, positions or movements even in heavy-duty environments. Based on this experience with extreme applications EBE knows what types of stress the electronics components have to withstand.
The EMS customers benefit from this experience in PCB assembly. In some cases it is advisable to go for extremely robust solutions. This is where the Through-Hole-Technology (THT) PCB assembly comes in. THT is recommendable
- for heavy electronic parts such as capacitors or transformers
- for compoments subject to high mechanical stress
The electronic manufacturing services at EBE in Tettnang offer manual push-through installation of electronic components as a THT solution.
The soldering is done by a modern wave soldering system in a nitrogen atmosphere. If wave soldering is not feasible EBE recommends selective or manual soldering.
Assembly: Experience counts
Based on decades of experience with the series production of small, medium and large quantities EBE offers a number of assembly services.
Experienced personnel performs the THT assembly resp. the assembly of flat modules with a steady hand and great care. Likewise, prototype manufacturing, assembly manufacturing or the manual assembly of complete devices and systems can be realized.
Customer’s benefit: EBE allows highly individualized production solutions and electronic manufacturing services. Our elaborate logistics supports efficient order processing.
Continuous further education of the personnel and permanently updated machinery contribute to EBE’s high level of production quality. EBE produces electronic assemblies with state of the art technology and based on a consistent quality management system.
Inspection: optical, electronic, automatic, three-dimensional
When it comes to quality assurance the EMS plant of EBE sensors + motion counts on absolute safety. Zero-defect means zero-defect. Customers and partners must be able to trust in the longterm functioning of each PCB and each electronics assembly.
The test and inspection range at EBE includes the following services:
- Automatic optical three-dimensional inspection (3D AOI): a reliable process for quality assurance in PCB assembly and for zero-defect production. In the AOI system assemblies are tested for the following criteria:
- 100% 3D measurement of components and soldering joints
- real measurement data evaluation
- inspection acc. IPC-A-610
- positioning (x/y offset and torsion), inspection of soldering joints, bridges and polarity
- Electronic tests: Depending on the customer request and agreement EBE subjects the finished assemblies to an in-circuit or functional test. This test reduces the risk of malfunctions in the life-cycle of the systems. The inspection is made by means of:
- product-specific test adapters
- specific test electronics
EBE develops the test adapters for customers and takes care of the test equipment setup. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The test technology department fully implements customized test criteria in the fields of both hardware and software. On request EBE archives the measurement values. Customers receive a statistical evaluation of all test results.
Our automatic optical inspection (3D-AOI) is indispensable for zero-defect production in SMD assembly. This is why the assemblies are tested for the following criteria in the AOI system:
- 100% 3D measurement of components and soldering joints
- real measurement data evaluation
- inspection acc. IPC-A-610
- positioning (x/y offset and torsion), soldering joints, bridges, polarity
Assemblies without defects can be processed without delay, detected faults are corrected.
WITH FUNCTIONAL TEST AGAINST MALFUNCTIONS IN THE LIFE-CYCLE
At last, finished assemblies are subjected to an in-circuit or functional test. These functional and endurance tests are carried out with product-specific test adapters and test electronics, minimizing the risk of malfunctions in the life-cycle of the systems.
EBE is happy to take over the development of test adapters and the complete test equipment construction for your manufactured assemblies and implements your individual test criteria with respect to hardware and software. On request all measurement data are archived and you will receive a statistical evaluation of all test results.
