Equipment installed at the Northampton plant includes two of Harting's own-manufactured automated press-in machines - the most advanced of their type - which guarantee a high degree of precision, repeatability and quality in the assembly process, particularly for large, complex boards.
Also included are flow-solder and surface-mount assembly lines, an automatic component inspection machine and three 65,000-node backplane testers - all housed within a fully static-safe environment.
The manufacturing and warehouse operation occupies 1800m2 and currently employs 38 people.
"We believe that this is one of the most advanced specialist backplane assembly facilities in Europe", says Steve Richardson, Sales and Marketing Manager of Harting Integrated Solutions: "The combination of investment in production equipment and Harting's worldwide reputation for quality and service puts us in an ideal position to benefit from the increased trend to outsourcing for this type of specialist work".
