A Hungarian electronics company, known for solutions in smart society applications including power controllers for energy and automation, partnered with I.C.T to upgrade its through-hole assembly capabilities. Facing demands for higher efficiency and consistent quality in high-mix, high-volume production, the manufacturer selected a tailored THT line.

The delivered configuration featured an odd-form insertion machine for precise placement of non-standard components, a high-stability nitrogen wave soldering machine (ACRAb350), automated PCB loaders and unloaders, connecting conveyor systems, an online AOI system (AI-4540 with inverted camera for post-wave inspection), and offline programming software for efficient setup.

I.C.T engineers conducted comprehensive on-site work in early April 2025, including equipment alignment, debugging, wave parameter optimization, AOI logic configuration, operator training on insertion programming and soldering processes, and full verification using actual power control board PCBs. Training continued over multiple days until operators could run the line independently.

Following commissioning, the line achieved stable production performance with elevated first-pass yields and noticeably lower rework requirements. The customer expressed satisfaction with both the equipment’s build quality and the professionalism of the I.C.T technical team.

The project underscores I.C.T’s capability in delivering turnkey THT solutions with global on-site support, particularly for high-reliability sectors such as power electronics. Proper process control—including flux application principles relevant across soldering methods【https://smtmachineline.com/flux-optimization-selective-soldering-processes/】, as detailed in resources on flux optimization in selective soldering processes—contributes to long-term joint integrity.

I.C.T, with more than two decades in SMT and THT equipment, continues to serve manufacturers across Europe and beyond.
