Production Process

The systematic optimization and the professional manufacturing of your product are most important to us.

BOM for release

Before each initial production, you receive a Bill of Materials for release, in which the current production status is described. If you wish even after changes of the BOM. This makes it possible to identify any entry errors or interpretation errors at an early stage. With an attached reply form you can notify us of any changes. 

BOM changes

Kuttig Electronic specializes in small batch production, where changes of Bills of Materials are common. Therefore, we are prepared for this. Until the last second before the start of the production, you can announce changes, which can all be taken into account. Any changes will be confirmed by us written to ensure that we have properly understood your amendment request. In order to reach all departments on time, the changes will be deposited in our BOMs and spread across the database to all concerned departments.

Production stop

You can stop the production of your products everytime. We will coordinate with you how and when the manufacturing process will be continued. If it is necessary to abrüsten the placement machine, we will, of course, inform you about the set-up costs incurred.

Manufacturing Feedback

You will receive a feedback report to inform you of any difficulties occurred during the production. In this report the difficulties are shown in detail, but also suggestions for improvement are made. The aim is to optimize your product in order to improve quality and reduce costs.

Automatic Data Preparation

Every day we process several Bills of Materials and import them into our database system. For this to happen as efficiently and error-free as possible, this process has largely been automated with the help of special programs.

Import of BOMs

As early as the offer phase, your Bill of Materials is exploded and recompressed according to our expectations. Thereafter, your item description is matched with our article number system via matchcode. If customer item numbers or vendor part numbers are given in the BOM, we can save and synchronize them by pressing a button. This saves time and reduces errors.

Takeover of the center coordinates (Pick & Place)

With the help of our CAM postprocessor "CAMPO", center coordinates can be read in from almost any format and compared with our Bills of Materials from the database system via the part references. Meanwhile, a plausibility check is done to find out which components are missing in the BOM. From this,

• the placement program for the placement machine
• the mathematical image for the AOI test
• the assembly drawings for THT placement

are generated. Carrying the unequipped components also simplifies subsequent changes of BOMs, because the components are present and only need to be activated.

Generating glue mask data

If necessary we can automatically produce Gerber data for the glue mask on "CAMPO" based on the center coordinates and the BOM. For this purpose, the design from the BOM will be used to set appropriate adhesive dots in the Gerber data. Alternatively, you can also provide us the data. In order to avoid that the glue gets on the pads, which would have the effect that the soldered connection would not be no longer reliable, the adhesive points have to be arranged carefully. Please contact us, we appreciate assisting you.

Secrecy

It is a matter of course for us as a service provider to keep your data and information secret. But we would like to explicitly state: "We commit ourselves to the confidentiality of your data and information". On request we can arrange a confidentiality agreement with you.
