Industrial automation PCB

Unlike standard consumer electronics, industrial PCBs must operate flawlessly in harsh environments. They require extreme durability against high vibrations, extreme temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation over long product lifecycles. They often necessitate high power handling capabilities and robust protection against electrical noise.

Factory environments are prone to dust, moisture, corrosive chemicals, and conductive debris. To protect the PCBA, we apply specialized, heavy-duty conformal coatings (such as silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane). For extreme environments, we also offer complete epoxy potting and encapsulation services to hermetically seal the electronics.

Yes. We specialize in Heavy Copper PCB fabrication, utilizing 3 oz to 10 oz (or higher) copper weights. This is essential for industrial motor drives, high-power converters, and heavy machinery controllers, allowing the board to safely conduct massive electrical currents while acting as a built-in heat sink to prevent thermal runaway.

Absolutely. For Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and 6-axis robotic arms, continuous motion will rapidly destroy standard wiring. We design and manufacture highly reliable dynamic Flex and Rigid-Flex PCBs using premium polyimide materials engineered to endure millions of bending and twisting cycles without failure.

Industrial equipment is often expected to operate for 10 to 20 years, outlasting the lifespan of the original silicon components. We provide proactive obsolescence management, tracking End of Life (EOL) notices from manufacturers. When parts become obsolete, our engineering team sources certified drop-in replacements or executes Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to update the design seamlessly.

We assemble the backbone of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). We have extensive experience placing and testing smart environmental sensors, wireless communication modules (LoRa, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G), and edge-computing boards essential for real-time factory data collection and automated process control.

Large factory motors and heavy switching equipment generate massive electromagnetic interference (EMI). During the layout phase, our engineers utilize careful trace routing, isolated ground planes, and differential pair matching to shield sensitive logic circuits from this noise, ensuring reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.

Our Silicon Valley facility is fully ISO 9001:2015 certified. We manufacture all industrial and automation boards in strict accordance with IPC-A-610 Class II standards. For critical safety systems, fail-safes, or life-protecting automated machinery, we elevate our manufacturing and inspection criteria to the rigorous IPC Class III standard.

Yes. Unlike consumer electronics that are built in millions, industrial controls are often highly customized and built in smaller batches. Our SMT lines are specifically designed for rapid changeovers and extreme flexibility, making us the perfect partner for low-volume, high-mix specialized equipment runs.

Yes. We offer complete electromechanical systems integration. We can take your finished PCBA and integrate it into heavy-duty DIN rail mounts, NEMA-rated enclosures, or ruggedized metal chassis. We also route all necessary high-voltage wire harnesses and perform final functional testing before shipping the completed unit.
