SMD Assembly Germany – Electronics Manufacturer NRW
High-precision SMD assembly from prototype to high-volume series. Your electronics manufacturer in Dortmund – Made in Germany.
As an electronics manufacturer in Germany, CME Control Motion Electronics offers complete SMD assembly on state-of-the-art production lines. From single prototype manufacturing through small series to high-volume production with several thousand assemblies per month – our placement machines process all common SMD packages from 01005 to large power modules. Our Dortmund location in North Rhine-Westphalia combines short distances with the highest manufacturing quality according to ISO 9001 and IPC-A-610. Whether you are looking for a reliable EMS partner for your series production or a flexible assembler for fast prototypes – CME delivers both from a single source.
High-Precision SMD Assembly
- Placement of all SMD packages: 01005, 0201, QFN, BGA, LGA, SOP, MELF – down to 0.4 mm pitch
- Modern pick-and-place machines with optical component centering and coplanarity check
- Processing of PCBs up to 460 × 460 mm – including multilayer and HDI boards
- Assembly capacity for prototypes (from 1 unit) and series (several thousand/month)
Power Electronics Assembly
- Specialized in thermally demanding assemblies with SiC and GaN semiconductors
- Vapor phase soldering for uniform heat transfer on power modules
- Processing of high-current components, heat sinks and thermal interfaces
- Experience with automotive power electronics (inverters, DC/DC converters, motor controllers)
Reflow & Vapor Phase Soldering
- Multi-zone reflow ovens for lead-free (SAC305) and leaded soldering processes
- Vapor phase soldering for power electronics – physically limited maximum temperature
- Individual temperature profiles for each assembly – documented and reproducible
- Suitable for high-thermal-mass boards and temperature-sensitive components
Paste Printing with SPI Control
- Automatic stencil printing with 100% inspection through Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)
- Stencil optimization for fine-pitch layouts and high component density
- Reproducible print quality through closed-loop control
- Documentation of all print parameters for complete traceability
Express Prototype Manufacturing
- Prototype assembly from single units – turnaround in a few working days when components are available
- Series-identical process for valid development results
- Direct line between development and manufacturing – no handover losses
- Support with component procurement and alternative suggestions
Flexible Batch Sizes – Prototype to Series
- No minimum order value – economical even for single units and small series
- Quick changeovers through standardized production preparation
- Scalable capacity planning for growing series volumes
- Seamless transition from prototype to series on the same production lines
100% Quality Control (AOI & MOI)
- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) after every soldering process – 3D-capable
- Manual Optical Inspection (MOI) by IPC-certified inspectors
- Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) before assembly as standard
- Complete defect documentation with traceability down to serial number
NPI & DFM Service
- Design-for-Manufacturing review before series start – manufacturability ensured
- First article inspection report (EMPB) for documented series release
- Optimization suggestions for cost, testability and manufacturing robustness
- Close coordination between development, purchasing and production planning
Mixed Technology (SMD + THT)
- Combined SMD/THT assembly on one PCB without compromise
- Selective soldering protects temperature-sensitive SMD components during THT processing
- Ideal for power electronics with mixed assembly and high component density
- Processing of connectors, transformers and special housings
