Electromechanical Assemblies

Everywhere you look you are likely to see various electromechanical assemblies quietly doing their job every hour of the day. Any time you have a piece of equipment that involves the use of electrical or electronic devices to perform some type of work you have an electromechanical device. These can be anything from a computer to a fly by wire controller in today's military combat aircraft. It takes a lot of work to take this type of device from concept to completed working product along with a manufacturer who understands what is wanted and can meet these needs. The first stage in developing electromechanical assemblies for a new product is to outline exactly what the new product is going to do. From here the designer can go to the drawing board and work on creating an assembly that is going to be capable of performing the desired task. Once the basic idea is on paper or these days in his CAD program he can fine tune the design and create an enclosure for it, for example a video mixing board that has several different slider controls as well as switches and meters.

After he has created the basic design and knows what he wants his finished product to look and work like he needs to have a test product built. For this there are companies who specialize in creating one of a kind products that are built to an engineer's specifications. These companies generally have their own staff of engineers who can look at the schematics and then draw out their own manufacturing plans for each individual part, from the case to the wiring harnesses inside. Once the manufacturing schematics have been created they are then sent over to the department that actually has the skills and the staff to create custom electromechanical assemblies. Here each piece will more than likely be created by hand and the whole unit assembled. If there are any issues that come up during this prototype phase, the staff can contact the original designer and offer suggestions regarding ways to make changes that will make the product work. Any time you create new electromechanical assemblies there are likely to be a few problems along the way as what may look good on paper can easily become impractical or impossible in the manufacturing phase. During this prototype phase the engineers will document every step of the process so that when it comes time to manufacture the new device on the production line it will be an easy process to set up the equipment and train the personnel who are going to build and test the final product for sale.

At JEM Electronics you will find a dedicated staff who understands the complexities of building new and innovative electromechanical assemblies. They have the facilities to take even the most complex assembly from concept to final product and all staff are trained and certified to meet the latest IPC -A-620 standards to ensure that all products meet the highest standards of workmanship and quality in the industry.
