No problem handling 01005

The Challenge

Recently a large electronics manufactu-

rer in the telecom ﬁ eld contacted

Grundig Business Systems with

a request to produce sophisticated

development boards in runs of 50 to

1,000 units. One of the client’s

prerequisites was Grundig’s total

mastery of the entire 01005 placement

process.

“To meet our customer’s requirements

and be able to place 01005 components

in large quantities we contacted the

SIPLACE team. At Grundig Business

Systems we have used SIPLACE

machines for over ten years and have

always been able to meet our targets,”

conﬁ rms Martin Halwas.

The SIPLACE Solution

As it turned out, the SIPLACE SX1 was

the best ﬁ t for Grundig Business

Systems’ requirements. The new

machine is equipped with the highly

ﬂ exible SIPLACE MultiStar head, which

handles the complete range from tiny

01005 to components with dimensions

of up to 50 x 40 mm.

Features of the SX-Series such as the

adjustable conveyor speed, the

automatic determination of the optimum

placement sequence with the SIPLACE

Precedence Finder and programmable

speed proﬁ les for the placement heads

make this state-of-the-art placement

platform the ideal solution for the 01005

process.

Grundig Business Systems

With 125 employees and headquarters

in Bayreuth, Germany, Grundig Busi-

ness Systems has produced profes-

sional dictating machines for over 50

years. The company is also an expert

in contract manufacturing in the areas

of electronics and mechatronics. Today

these EMS activities account for 50

percent of the overall business. The

spectrum ranges from SMT and THT

placement to complete production

services for the automotive, industrial

electronics, power plant technology

and medical technology industries. The

company develops, builds, packages

and ships its products on site.The com-

pany has always paid special attention

to making its production facilities as

ﬂ exible and modern as possible. “Our

customers come from different areas in

the electronics manufacturing ﬁ eld. We

guarantee that we can turn their requi-

rements into real products,” says Martin

Halwas, production manager at Grundig

Business Systems.

“We have been working with SIPLACE for decades. Again and again it

turns out we share the same philosophy: There is no such thing as ‘no can

do’.” Martin Halwas, head of production

“We don’t just produce circuit boards,

we also offer our customers consulting

and development services based on

our many years of experience as an

electronics manufacturer. We produ-

ce our own products as well as our

contract jobs with SIPLACE equipment.

Especially when it comes to complex

technologies like 01005 placement,

Grundig Business Systems and the

SIPLACE team share the same phi-

losophy: there is no such thing as ‘no

can do’.”

A new challenge

For over 50 years, Grundig Business

Systems has produced professional

dictating machines at its Bayreuth

location. The company is also a contract

manufacturer and has developed into

one of the leading EMS providers in

southern Germany. For a special

customer job, Grundig Business

Systems recently entered new

territory with the SIPLACE team’s help.

To be able to produce development

boards, the company had to upgrade its

capabilities for the placement of 01005

components. This is a complex process

that requires state-of-the-art equipment.

By installing a new SIPLACE SX1 that

is equipped with the highly

ﬂ exible SIPLACE MultiStar head,

Grundig Business Systems is now able

to place the tiny components quickly,

accurately and reliably.

Features of the SX-Series such as the

adjustable conveyor speed, the

automatic determination of the optimum

placement sequence with the SIPLACE

Precedence Finder and programmable

speed proﬁ les for the placement heads

make this state-of-the-art placement

platform the ideal solution for the 01005

process. The 01005 nozzles are

self-cleaning with compressed air and

are automatically checked for

contaminations and wear. A component

sensor makes sure that each

component has been successfully

picked up and placed on the circuit

board. And the SIPLACE digital vision

system guarantees that each 01005

component is positioned exactly where

it should.

High-quality placement as early as in

the development stage

Grundig Business Systems produces

high-volume products in runs of up to

5 million units. One SIPLACE line

running in two shifts churns out a wide

range of products in Bayreuth. With its

highly ﬂ exible new SIPLACE line,

the company wants to live up to its

reputation of delivering quality and

engineering “made in Germany”. “When

we talk about the typical challenges in

the telecommunications industry, we

usually mean high speed, giant lot sizes

and many product variations. But to

reach this stage, you must ﬁ rst develop

the PCBs. This is where we come into

play as a German EMS provider. We

are familiar with sophisticated

technologies and place great

emphasis on testing and on high quality.

Our customers appreciate this,” says

Martin Halwas.

Grundig Business Systems produces

and tests the development boards in

ways that simulate the subsequent

high-volume production runs, but in lot

sizes of up to 1,000 units. Modiﬁ ca-

tions are frequent. Since the placement

programs and components change after

one to two months, it is important to

have a rapid NPI (new product intro-

duction) process. Particularly the digital

SIPLACE vision system, which makes

it possible to teach components directly

on the line, makes it possible to easily

introduce entirtely new components.
