Electronics

mta robotics electronics market soldering and dispensing

Electronics play an ever-increasing role in our daily lives. Soon, it will be difficult to find products that do not have some form of sensors or control devices.

Selective soldering
There is an increasing trend to use a variety of technologies within the same product. SMT components mix with through-hole components. Electronic components reside on the same board as mechanical components. Rigid boards intertwine with flexible circuits.

Our mta selective soldering robots are ideal for mixed technologies because they allow manufacturers to tailor the process precisely to each solder joint.

Volumetric dispensing
Precise and repeatable adhesive bonding, sealing and potting processes play a significant role in protecting electronic components against harmful effects such as moisture, extreme temperatures, dust or abrasive media.

It is important to involve the system and material manufacturers in the product development stage to ensure the coordinate optimal functionality of the electronic device.

We therefore develop the ideal dispensing solution for current and future trends in electronics manufacturing.

Contactless dispensing
Our highly automated dispensing systems guarantee precise and repeatable process results, even with high part throughput. Materials such as silver-filled glues, solder paste, primers or silicones can be jetted in extreme small volumes at frequencies up to 300Hz.

Medical technology is subject to strict quality requirements and standards. Therefore, reliable and repeatable production processes are essential.

Volumetric dispensing
mta robotics has vast experience in dispensing materials for a wide range of medical devices, including pacemakers, surgical tools and medical pumps.

The pharmaceutical industry uses a wide range of material viscosities. Our dispensers enable the hygienic application of liquid media and suspensions with extreme precision. Some pharmaceutical products contain solids for example: pastes, gels and creams. These require low-shear dispensing systems to preserve the material properties.

Our volumetric dispensing systems are versatile and can handle products of any viscosity. All materials in contact with the dispensing device are passive and chemically neutral (FDA-compatible).

We have a well-equipped dispensing laboratory for testing materials and processes prior to placing the order. Additionally, we can produce a series of parts prior to delivery to ensure quality and performance.

Selective soldering
We have extensive experience soldering various medical products, enabling us to guarantee reliable processes that meet stringent FDA requirements. Example applications include medical pressure sensors, medical pumps, implantable products and more.

Contactless dispensing
Challenging materials like cyanoacrylates can be dispensed with exceptional stability in a fully automated process. No unplanned downtimes or interruptions from clogging – just consistently precise cyanoacrylate dots.
