Electronics Assembly

All electric motors generate substantial heat during operation. Managing that heat is critical for the reliability, performance and longevity of the motor. Thermally conductive adhesives are one tool for doing just that.

When US Digital introduced the E4T, a new, miniaturized optical encoder, the assemblers who processed components during production faced difficulties. To improve the operators’ working conditions and free up their time for higher-level tasks, the company developed a new system to automate a process that had always been done by hand.
