As part of a joint project, SEHO is currently working with CERN on a prototype system for a key process step in the production of non-insulated coils made from high-temperature superconductors. These superconductors are considered as a key technology for high-performance, highly compact magnetic coils that will enable unprecedented magnetic field strengths in future particle accelerators, while also increasing efficiency.
The project is part of the MuCol (Muon Collider) program coordinated by CERN and thus makes an important contribution to the development of the next generation of accelerator technologies.

SEHO contributes its many years of experience in the precise handling of liquid solder and in the design of stable, reproducible process sequences. A particular focus is on the controlled and process-reliable application of flux – a decisive quality factor for reliable metallic joints and the functional integrity of the superconducting components.
With this combination of process expertise and system engineering competence, SEHO supports CERN in taking the step from experimental development toward a robust, industrial-grade prototype solution

The on-site exchange at CERN was not only to align technical details, but also to develop a shared understanding of the entire process chain – from material science requirements to system-level implementation.

SEHO is excited and proud to be part of this international project and to contribute its technologies in an environment where cutting-edge research and industrial manufacturing expertise are closely linked.

Game Changer Automation: THT Can Also Be Smart!

Heike Schlessmann — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 14:43:51 +0000

How Automated THT Manufacturing Pays Off and Boosts Competitiveness.

Electronics manufacturing is under pressure: product customization and market dynamics demand maximum flexibility while maintaining consistent quality. In the THT sector in particular, it is apparent how much economic success depends on well-designed automation.

No two cars are alike today, modern control technology is built to order, and industrial electronic components are individually tailored to customer requirements – to name just a few examples. At the same time, sales markets fluctuate noticeably, whether due to economic effects, geopolitical influences, or changing customer needs.
The increasing individualization of products and unsteady market demand place high expectations on electronics manufacturing: it must not only be flexible enough to produce a wide variety of assemblies and variants economically but also must be able to efficiently manufacture large series and small, specialized quantities – all while maintaining consistently high quality.
The challenge lies in striking a balance between flexibility, speed, and cost efficiency under increasingly complex conditions.

The demands placed on modern electronics manufacturing often clash with reality, and in addition to technological requirements, the human factor is increasingly coming into focus.
While automated processes are already established in other areas of electronics production, many process steps in THT manufacturing are still carried out manually. This is precisely where bottlenecks are increasingly occurring: skilled labor shortages, absences due to illness, rising wage costs, and higher error rates are putting pressure on production, especially when order volumes fluctuate. In addition, manual tasks affect cycle times and make complete traceability difficult, as processes cannot be recorded digitally throughout.

Step-by-step automation: Tailored to individual needs and scalable

One solution lies in the gradual, demand-oriented automation of THT manufacturing. Finding the right balance is key: complete automation is not always necessary, but targeted partial automation can already achieve noticeable effects – for example, in reducing errors, ensuring consistent quality, or maintaining a stable cycle time.
A scalable approach is essential, whereby the degree of automation can be adapted to the current workload and the vertical range of manufacture.
Equally important is a coherent concept for the interaction between operating personnel and the system. Ergonomic workplace design, simple operating concepts, and clear interfaces between humans and machines promote acceptance and increase efficiency.
When considering the automation of a production area, the future viability of the system should also be taken into account. A flexible concept must be able to accommodate changes in the product life cycle: increasing quantities, additional variants, or a higher degree of automation should be achievable without fundamental modifications.

Individual solutions

THT production lines are rarely standardized but are usually designed individually. The reasons for this can vary greatly and are determined by the products being manufactured, spatial conditions, and human resources. An off-the-shelf automation solution is therefore not very effective. It is crucial to analyze current requirements precisely to develop a concept that fits both the product portfolio and the long-term strategy of the company. In the best-case scenario, the result is a production line that can be expanded, i.e., that grows with future requirements, whether through the integration of additional workstations, the connection of further automation units, or integration into smart production networks.
This results in demand-oriented scaling and a phased investment. At the same time, the personnel on the production line are “taken along” step by step.

THT automation in practical application

A practical example shows what such a solution could look like: SEHO has implemented a complete THT production line with automatic soldering frame management for an electronics manufacturer on an area of only 120 square meters.

The entire line concept, including a SEHO wave soldering system, is arranged in U-shape and designed for high production volumes. To use the space as efficiently as possible, the eight assembly workstations required were arranged in four opposite positions, each using a shared main transport segment to the manufacturing line.
Ergonomic considerations were a key focus when planning the workstations, with individually height-adjustable tables, tiltable units for assembling components, material storage areas, and line side racks in which the assembly components are arranged clearly and within easy reach. From a logistical point of view, the integrated line side racks also offer the advantage that they can be set up anywhere, thus avoiding unnecessary interruptions.

Once a PCB is fully assembled, the soldering frame is transferred from the workstation to the main transport system at the touch of a button by a handling unit, fully automatically and with automatic height adjustment. Each assembly passes through a THT AOI system, which enables complete inspection of assembly quality. Defective assemblies are identified via a separation station and automatically returned to the original workstation, while correctly assembled boards can proceed directly to the wave soldering system.
After the soldering process, the soldered assemblies are lowered to the return conveyor level and pass through the AOI system again for solder joint inspection. Fault-free soldering frames are then transported to the respective workstations. A central rework buffer, in which faulty assemblies are buffered until further processing, prevents backlogs.

The path of the soldering frames within the manufacturing line is automatically controlled via RFID. As an alternative, the line can be equipped with barcode readers or other identification systems.

The degree of automation of such a production line can be flexibly expanded, for example, by using lightweight robots for assembly, which can be integrated centrally into the manufacturing line or decentrally at individual workstations.
Driverless transport systems (AGVs) also offer potential: they ensure a continuous flow of materials and take over the automated transport of assemblies to the next step in the manufacturing process.
This approach can gradually increase overall production efficiency while relieving operating personnel of non-value-adding activities.

Automated complete solutions

Automated complete solutions that virtually eliminate the need for manual intervention can make the production of THT assemblies even faster and more precise.

In one such project, SEHO developed a fully automated production cell in which all process steps are automated.
This includes assembly with subsequent automatic inspection, insertion of assemblies into workpiece carriers, automatic carrier closure, unloading of workpiece carriers after soldering, solder joint inspection and final automated pass/fail sorting – all without personnel involvement.
The assemblies processed in this system are also controlled via a code reading system connected to a host computer.
This results in a fully digitized process offering maximum transparency, consistent quality and minimal personnel requirements.

Conclusion: THT automation ensures productivity and competitiveness

The appropriate level of automation required depends on the specific application. Not every production line needs to be fully automated. It is more important that the chosen solution is suitable for the product, budget and planned development of the production site.
Scalable automation opens up the possibility of moving toward the future with a step-by-step investment – starting with basic automation and progressing to a fully automated production line. It is worth considering future expandability from the outset of the planning phase. The more prepared the system is, the easier it will be to integrate future requirements, whether due to increased quantities, new product variants, or additional process steps.

The benefits are obvious: automated processes ensure stable workflows and shorter throughput times, significantly increasing overall efficiency in production. Sources of error that can occur in manual processes are reduced, with positive effects on product quality and rework. They relieve staff of repetitive tasks and enable complete traceability.

For electronics manufacturers who want to remain competitive in the long term, automation in the THT sector is therefore becoming a strategic factor.

FAQ about Automation in THT Manufacturing

What specific problems does automation solve in THT manufacturing?

Automation eliminates typical bottlenecks such as staff shortages, fluctuating cycle times, and high defect rates in manual processes. It ensures more stable processes, end-to-end traceability, and minimizes downtime, which can quickly become critical when order situations change.

Why is THT more affected than SMT or other process steps?

While SMT manufacturing lines have been highly automated for years, THT manufacturing involves many manual steps, such as handling of soldering frames, assembly, and quality control. This results in greater dependence on staff availability and manufacturing routines. Automation reduces precisely this variability.

At what point does partial automation become economically viable?

Even individual steps such as automated soldering frame handling, inline AOI, or ergonomically standardized assembly workstations significantly increase process stability. These investments quickly pay for themselves, especially with changing quantities or variant production, because they reduce scrap and make throughput predictable.

Why does scalability play a central role in THT automation systems?

Conditions are changing: product variants, batch sizes, vertical range of manufacture. A scalable concept enables the integration of robots, AGVs, or additional workstations at a later date without having to rebuild the basic structure of the line. This reduces future investment risks and makes it easier to balance the peak loads.

Why are individually planned THT lines often more economical than standard solutions?

THT products differ in terms of geometry, weight, thermal requirements, and handling. Standard systems quickly reach their limits here. A customized solution optimizes material flow, space requirements, transport concept, and user interfaces precisely for the respective product portfolio, thereby achieving higher OEE values.

What does the practical example of an automated SEHO THT production line show?

The production line, which covers just 120 square meters, combines a U-shaped layout, ergonomic assembly workstations, automatic soldering frame transfers, a THT AOI with component placement control and solder joint inspection, and a wave soldering system to form a continuous production concept. The automatic return of defective assemblies and the management of soldering frames via RFID ensure high process reliability and clear material flows.

What are the advantages of a fully automated production cell?

In fully automated THT production cells, all process steps – component placement control, workpiece carrier handling, soldering, AOI, sorting – run without manual intervention and are fully digitized. This results in reproducible quality, stable cycle times, reduced personnel requirements, and clear traceability throughout the entire process.

How does automation increase the long-term competitiveness of a manufacturing site?

Automated processes ensure improved cycle times, less rework, and high machine availability. At the same time, employees are relieved of non-value-adding activities, allowing them to focus on skilled tasks. This helps to maintain production even during periods of labor shortages and cost pressures.

SEHO Wins 2nd Place at the productronica Innovation Award 2025!

Heike Schlessmann — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 13:19:38 +0000

Thermographic monitoring of flux application sets new standards.

We couldn’t be more proud: Our technology for process-integrated, inline-capable monitoring of flux application, developed in collaboration with SIEMENS AG, Foundational Technologies Berlin, was awarded second place in the Future Markets Cluster at productronica 2025. This award is impressive confirmation of how relevant and forward-looking this development step is for electronics manufacturing.

A breakthrough for a process step that was previously impossible to monitor

The application of flux in wave and selective soldering is a key process step, but one that has been difficult to control until now. Too little flux leads to soldering errors such as incomplete penetration or cold solder joints, while too much can cause residues that can impair the function of the assembly.
Previous monitoring methods are generally based on random sampling or purely functional checks of the fluxer. They therefore do not provide any information about the actual application on the individual printed circuit board.

This is precisely where the new technology comes in: For the first time, it is possible to test every printed circuit board inline and automatically. Not only is the amount of flux applied monitored, but also its exact position.
The system utilizes the physical effect that heat is locally extracted from the assembly when the solvent in the flux evaporates. This makes wetted areas appear cooler.
A thermal imaging camera captures this pattern immediately after fluxing and evaluates it intelligently. The analysis is based on a reference model, either a thermographic image or a CAD-based digital twin.

The result is a reliable, highly accurate decision as to whether an assembly is correctly fluxed and approved for the soldering process.

More quality, more efficiency – and the path to autonomous manufacturing

The practical implications are enormous: Incorrect flux application is detected immediately rather than only becoming apparent after soldering, and the corresponding assemblies can be automatically removed from the production line.
This reduces waste, prevents unnecessary rework, and increases process reliability throughout the entire production flow.
At the same time, the technology forms the basis for future AI-supported optimization in real time. The thermographic data collected can be used in the future to automatically adjust process parameters and implement adaptive, self-regulating manufacturing.

As a result, the system not only closes a long-standing gap in process monitoring, but also opens up new possibilities for quality, efficiency, and automation, especially in areas with high requirements.

An award that stands for a strong team

This award is a special achievement for us at SEHO, as it demonstrates what can be achieved when expertise in manufacturing technology, software development, and research come together.
We would like to thank everyone involved for driving this project forward with passion and an innovative spirit, and of course we would like to thank the jury of the productronica Innovation Award for this outstanding recognition.

Automatic Nozzle Cleaning: Advantages for Efficiency and Quality

Heike Schlessmann — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 09:29:54 +0000

In electronics manufacturing, the quality of the soldering process is critical to the functionality and reliability of the finished assemblies. The solder nozzles play a particularly important role in the selective soldering process, as they are the key element between the solder and the product. “Precision” is the key word here.

However, dirty or poorly maintained nozzles can have a serious impact on the quality of the solder joints and the entire production process since they can lead to uneven or insufficient solder application, causing incomplete or poorly wetted joints.

Continuous care and maintenance of the solder nozzles is therefore essential. Although manual cleaning is a common method, it can be associated with various disadvantages that impair the production process in electronics manufacturing.

Compared to manual cleaning processes, automatic ultrasonic cleaning of solder nozzles offers numerous advantages that affect both the quality and efficiency of the selective soldering process.
The consistency and precision of the automated ultrasonic cleaning reduces soldering defects, minimizes downtime, and extends the nozzle life. It also reduces maintenance and saves money. Because the process runs independently of the operator’s experience, residues are reliably removed, and the nozzles are optimally prepared for the next use.

In an increasingly competitive industry, the automation of cleaning can be a critical factor in improving production processes and a company’s long-term competitiveness.

Automatic ultrasonic cleaning for mini wave solder nozzles is available for many SEHO selective soldering systems. Just contact us.

Meet SEHO at APEX 2025 in Anaheim

Heike Schlessmann — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:07:53 +0000

SEHO North America, Inc. is thrilled to present its best-selling selective soldering system SEHO SelectLine-C at the IPC APEX Expo in Anaheim. Join SEHO at booth 849 to explore cutting-edge soldering solutions and automation technology and learn how SEHO is shaping the future of electronics production.

SEHO is continuously developing its product range to create real added value for users. At APEX, the company will highlight the modular inline selective soldering system SelectLine-C. Many innovative ideas are integrated into the SelectLine-C and have made it one of the most successful in the SEHO portfolio.

The SelectLine-C machine concept is consistently modular thus ensuring clear cost benefits. Several modules can individually be configurated with fluxer, preheatings, soldering units, cooling modules, selective brush unit and AOI system. Thus, the SelectLine-C adapts to virtually any manufacturing requirement and if the production conditions should change it may be expanded, the configuration can be modified, or SelectLine-C modules can be shifted to different manufacturing lines at any time.
Starting from a basic module with two soldering units and a total of four workstations, the machine can be expanded to up to six soldering units and more than 15 parallel workstations.

Electro-magnetic soldering units with innovative nozzles for mini-wave and multi-wave soldering processes are part of the standard machine equipment. Maximum throughput requirements are met with the Synchro mode. This intelligent software feature coordinates the soldering process with several soldering units for one assembly type in such a way that the cycle time is nearly halved without the need for significant investment. If different products are manufactured in mixed operation, the SmartSplit mode ensures automatic split of the available soldering units, thus providing maximum throughput rates.

Automatic ultrasonic cleaning of solder nozzles is another highlight in the soldering area.

Instead of manual mainenance with aggressive chemicals, the machine cleans the soldering nozzles automatically, gently and in an environmentally friendly manner.

Automatic ultrasonic cleaning of solder nozzles is another highlight in the soldering area.

Instead of manual mainenance with aggressive chemicals, the machine cleans the soldering nozzles automatically, gently and in an environmentally friendly manner.

The SelectLine-C is ideally suited for using the LongLife mini-wave solder nozzle. This nozzle type features a lifetime that is at least three times longer than that of conventional nozzles. Therefore, the annual savings potential is remarkable. In addition, maintenance requirements for the LongLife solder nozzles are significantly reduced.

Like all selective soldering systems from SEHO, the SelectLine-C provides a complete hardware and software package for 100% automated process control. The flux quantity monitoring system and gradient-controlled temperature profiles in the preheat area, automatic monitoring of the nitrogen quantity and nitrogen quality, the touchless wave height control or automatic setup control and tool measurement are only some of the monitoring functions that ensure a reliable process.

The SelectLine-C, however, has even more to offer. The machine can be equipped with a selective brush system for automatic removal of solder balls, and an AOI system for automatic inspection of solder joints immediately after the soldering or brushing process. The advantages of these integrated additional processes are obvious. Safe and reliable processes on the one hand and reduced overall production costs on the other hand.

The SEHO team is looking forward to meeting you from March 18-20, 2025 at the IPC APEX Expo in Anaheim at booth 849!

Schedule a meeting with us.

SEHO SelectLine-C: Increase Production Volume without Large Investment

Heike Schlessmann — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:36:53 +0000

Typically, to increase production volume in selective soldering processes, additional soldering units need to be added, or the machine must be equipped with a dual conveyor to allow parallel processing of boards. These measures, of course, are related to large investment.

Increase production volumes without large investments using the Synchro or SmartSplit production mode of the SEHO SelectLine-C.

Synchro and SmartSplit are software features that coordinate and control the production flow.
While Synchro is optimized for batch production, SmartSplit ensures highest production rates in mixed operation, thus allowing high mix – high volume production in selective soldering processes.

In both production modes, the soldering job is automatically distributed among the available process stations that are integrated into the individual machine. As a result, Synchro and SmartSplit enable the production volume amost to be doubled – without large investments.

All parameters required to use the SelectLine-C in Synchro or SmartSplit production mode can be easily programmed using SEHO’s offline teach progam. Creating soldering recipes is comfortable and quick. For an assembly, only the overall soldering task needs to be programmed. The software automatically divides the soldering task among the available process stations and calculates the fastest route to minimize handling and processing time.
