Elkhart-based Poly Electronics is adding a second Surface Mount Technology assembly line to increase its manufacturing capabilities.
The new assembly line, scheduled to be operational by Aug. 1, will increase production speed, flexibility and quality. The investment leverages artificial intelligence, 3D inspection and advanced automation.
The new line will feature two Yamaha YSM pick-and-place machines, each capable of placing up to 90,000 components per hour. Their combined maximum throughput is 180,000 components per hour. The upgrade more than doubles Poly Electronics’ manufacturing capacity, ensuring faster turnaround and greater precision.
Lead times will be reduced from the current 12 weeks to as little as 4 weeks. The new line will support a wider range of product types and volumes, giving customers more options and scalability for their projects.
AI-powered 3D inspection and X-ray/CT scan technologies will provide quality control. The automation and data-driven processes will provide traceability and consistent, repeatable results, reducing the risk of defects.
Poly Electronics provides custom electronic manufacturing services. The company provides engineering, sourcing, assembly, testing and distribution serves. Poly Electronics serves the agricultural, industrial, commercial equipment, automotive and recreational vehicle industries.
