TECHNOSYSTEM Supplies High-End Automation Systems to Schweizer Electronic AG
March 16, 2021 | TECHNOSYSTEMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As a leading manufacturer of automation systems, TECHNOSYSTEM, part of the Benmayor Group and sister company to Aismalibar, has been developing innovative customer-specific automation solutions for circuit board manufacturers worldwide for years.
Always with the aim of optimizing the throughput time in the customer’s circuit board production, the automation systems are precisely adapted to the individual needs of the user in terms of space requirements, process speed and the available hardware and software.
Especially in these challenging Corona times, circuit board manufacturers are investing in the automation of their production plants to be prepared as soon as the recovery starts. Modernization of production facilities, which aim to ensure a competitive circuit board production in Central Europe through highly efficient automated production, can be better implemented in times of under-utilized production lines.
The specific project concerned the modernization of a brown oxide line in the printed circuit board production of SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC AG, Schramberg.
Key requirements for the high-end automation were, among other things, cycle times of less than 12 seconds per cycle including plastic interleave, the fast automatic exchange of boxes or L-racks without interrupting production, as well as the contactless alignment of the working formats using CCD cameras. Robotic arms were also implemented, which can also process thick copper blanks with a weight of up to 4.5KG at high speed.
SCHWEIZER procurement team stated, “By using the latest technologies, we were able to achieve or exceed all of the key automation goals in our production. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent cooperation between the engineers and the continuous support from the management of both companies. The final assembling in Barcelona and the installation in Schramberg could be completed as planned and on time.”
Eduardo Benmayor, General Manager, TECHNOSYSTEM remarked, “We are very pleased that with this cooperation in the field of automation at SCHWEIZER ELECTRONIC AG we have been able to help automate circuit board production to a high, long-term competitive level and to meet the future requirements of “Industry 4.0.”

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
