7 MANUFACTURING Our company offers more than 50 years of experience in high-tech mechanical and electronic production for aviation, defense and space products with a strong focus on RF production. We cover a total product life cycle from development, prototyping, industrialization, procurement, production, up to maintenance and repair, customer support and obsolescence management. We support our customers by on-time deliveries, product quality and value for money. Our production is managed by a full-fledged SAP ERP system extended by a continuous improvement management system and lean manufacturing programme. Mechanical Parts Production Advionics is equipped with modern CNC-milling machinery. We have a fully installed milling centre with an automated warehouse which provides 24/7 parts production. The complementary smaller CNC milling stations guarantee flexibility to meet the customer s demands for the production of mechanical parts. Our machinery is equipped to mill multiple materials with focus on aluminum alloys. Our competence in mechanical parts production consists of the complexity of structures to be milled. High depth to radius ratio (>10) or small wall thickness (<1mm) means no challenge to us. Mechanical parts are produced by several 4-axis horizontally milling machines and additional turning lathe. In order to prove accuracy, all parts are measured by means of 3D coordinate measuring device. Mechanical parts production However, we don t stop at milling, deburring is at least as important for (airborne) electromechanical parts as milling itself. As a standard, all our mechanical parts get a vibratory finish. The vibrating interaction of water, compound, media and our mechanical parts produces the required surface finish and deburring. It is followed by a visual inspection and manually deburring where necessary.

8 For some very complex or larger products, milling is not an option and aluminum casting is required. However casting hasn t the precision of milling. We have a substantial experience to mill your casted product to the precision you want. To give your milled parts the best protection possible, we can provide them with a protective chemical coating, to prevent corrosion. Parts also can be finished with protective paintwork. We offer wet paint spraying and can accomplish all of your demands. Mechanical parts production We perform also the assembly of different mechanical parts. There are no restrictions concerning the kind of connection: welded, glued, screwed with or without screw thread coils, press fitted, etc. Circuit Board Assembly For over 50 years we have been fulfilling requirements of high reliability sectors of industry, such as defense, aerospace, space and avionics. We are familiar with the supply of PCB assemblies which meet the very highest quality and reliability standards. Through the years we have invested on a regulary basis in our production equipment and lay-out, resulting in a state of the art machinery for assembling your PCB s. Our close partnerships with multiple PCB manufacturers enables us to propose the right match for your needs (urgency, design complexity, volume and cost). We have full capability to assemble all types of SMD components, such as chips, BGA, BGA, POP, placement, leadless devices and oddform components. Conventional leaded components are prepared in-house and are selectively soldered or if possible through intrusive soldering. For over 20 years we have been soldering complete boards onto silver or gold plated cooling plates and housings for high frequency applications using our vacuum equipped vapor phase soldering machine. Soldering inspection according to IPC-A610 / J-STD-001 is completed through AOI, high resolution X-ray and microscope by a very experienced staff.

9 Conformal coating (UV or non-uv) is accomplished by means of a Nordson Asymtec and PVA coater. If desired, the boards can be cleaned ultrasonically or conventionally. All processes are equipped for both lead-free and lead-based production. Our Production Support Software enables paperless manufacturing on each workstation. Full traceability can be offered. For the production of your substrates we have a fully equipped Class Clean Room. Circuit board assembly We are focussing on wedge-wedge bonding, ball-wedge bonding, parallel gap welding and thermosonic bonding of gold wires and gold ribbon for small series. Modules can be hermetically sealed under protective atmosphere and leak tests can be performed. Plasma cleaning, environmental stress screening, burn-in tests and shock tests are part of our know-how.

10 System Assembly Cable Manufacturing Our own cable manufacturing is capable to create every possible cable, cable assembly, wire harness and RF cable assembly, always custom made and according to IPC-620. We can design custom cable assemblies from customer specifications or assemblies can be fabricated from customer provided drawings. The cable product range consists of AWG 28 single wires up to stranded wire 6mm², multi pair, semi-rigid and flat ribbon cables. We are also very experienced in the manufacturing of wire harnesses. Meanly single wires are used in the harness but can easily be combined with all kind of cables such as coaxial cables, multi-pair cables, etc. With flexible, semi-rigid, and handformable cable assemblies, our RF cable assembly is capable to fulfill your demands in this specific segment of cable assembly. All types of cables can be provided with the necessary product labeling. We also perform high voltage isolation testing, as well as continuity and capacitance testing. Long years of test experience allows us to perform MIL-SPEC and screening tests. Sub Assembly From integrating a PCB into a box to the building of complex assemblies it has been our business for over 50 years. Mounting, gluing, interconnecting, wire wrapping, sealing and pressure testing of all types of sub-assemblies can be done. If the positioning of components or backplanes is critical we build tooling to guarantee the interchangeability of your products. Labeling of the products and configuration management is a standard practice. Cable manufacturing Sub assembly

11 Cable manufacturing Integration As a one-stop-shop we can integrate the produced subassemblies, cables and PCB s into racks. Those racks can be standard of the shelf or customized to your needs. Integration of your own modules into a system is also an option. Given the fact that we have all competences and machinery in house we can act very fast to any last minute change during integration or even during your Factory Acceptance Test. Qualified people perform electrical safety tests on your racks and are in close contact with test institutes to perform EMC measurements on your products. Integration

15 TESTING Every product is tested prior to shipping thus ensuring our customers the highest quality standards and fit for purpose. We specialize in testing boards, modules and complete systems. Our test equipment covers a range from DC up till 26 GHz. Digital boards are tested with a Boundary Scan Tool, Power supply s with remote control loads, RF modules with network-, spectrum- and/or peak power analyzers. On customer request our products undergo stringent environmental and stress screening tests (temperature/shock/vibration) in specialized test rooms. Obviously our test equipment is calibrated. To reduce the down time of our test equipment due to calibration, a calibration department was established. This developed into a department which fulfills 2000 calibrations on electrical and mechanical test equipment on a yearly basis. Not only for our own devices but also for our customers. If necessary, repairs are carried out by this department so the down time is kept as low as possible.
