Precision and quality are non-negotiable terms in this competitive environment, and navigating this landscape requires diversified strategies that meet the varied demands of clients.

Nicomatic is a global leader in delivering high-quality customized interconnect solutions. With over 20 years in injection molding, stamping, assembly, and flat cable manufacturing, the company carved a piece of the market for itself in the global Military, Medical, and Aerospace sectors. They have pioneered innovations, particularly in civil avionics, that are now the industry benchmark and integral components in numerous avionics projects worldwide.

With this continued commitment to excellence, Nicomatic embraces cutting-edge technology to find solutions for improving its own workflow. To ensure consistent product quality which surpasses industry standards, Nicomatic has implemented AIDA Imaging HD-100A cameras into its production process.

Optimizing Laser Inspection

Nicomatic operates numerous laser processes that are integral to its internal production. These processes mark, etch, and cut materials; each requiring meticulous inspection to ensure flawless functionality in the end products. Prior to implementing the HD-100A camera, this inspection process was time-consuming and resource-intensive, leaving room for potential errors and defects.

The implementation of the HD-100A video camera has significantly transformed this inspection process. The robust camera system enables a clean and straightforward 'go' or 'no-go' style production test, rapidly verifying the accuracy and precision of the laser operations. As a result, Nicomatic has witnessed a remarkable improvement in overall product quality and a significant reduction in risks associated with destructive laser processes. HD-100A's high-definition imagery and real-time monitoring capability have boosted the confidence of the production team in refining their workflows, ensuring that only top-notch products proceed to the next stage of manufacturing.

Streamlining Flat Flexible Cable Production

As a global leader in custom flat flexible cable products, Nicomatic’s internal process designs allow for high variation between product requests. As such, Nicomatic has implemented a monitoring system with the HD-100A camera system in its flat flexible cable production process.

Streaming off a live feed, the backlit cable production offered by the HD-100A provides their operators with a real-time visual assessment of product quality. This immediate feedback empowers Nicomatic engineers to make prompt adjustments, ensuring detailed precision and consistency in each cable produced. HD-100A’s telephoto-zoom lens – the CS0550V – further enhances reach and flexibility, enabling seamless zooming into intricate details while retaining a wide field of view for product symmetry assessments.

Final Results and Impact

Using the HD-100A has significantly improved Nicomatic’s quality control and production efficiency. By reducing inspection time and providing real-time monitoring feedback, our cameras have expedited decision-making and internal processes – increasing productivity and minimizing wasted time and cost. The precise and reliable inspection data enables swift and accurate verification of the laser operation correctness, which reduces the risk associated with destructive laser processes.

Additionally, Nicomatic’s implementation of the HD-100A camera in their flat flexible cable production allowed operators to assess product quality in real time, making prompt adjustments to ensure accuracy with every piece manufactured. They saw increased productivity and minimized wastage, translating to cost savings and quicker time-to-market for all their products and services.

Conclusion

The interconnect industry is well-integrated from consumer-to-enterprise technology and will continue to advance as new breakthroughs occur. Companies like Nicomatic must navigate these challenges while continuing to deliver exceptional products to their clients. By leveraging the AIDA HD-100A to work for them, Nicomatic has overcome a common pain point felt within the interconnect manufacturing sector. Optimizing procedures and streamlining processes help to save time and money. As pioneers in their field, Nicomatic exemplifies how embracing innovating technology and leveraging it to work for them can drive greater efficiency, boost product quality, and pave the way for success in a competitive market.
