Nexergy Improves SMT Capabilities to Benefit Customers


COLUMBUS, OH (USA) - Nexergy, a leading designer, integrator, and manufacturer of battery packs and chargers, announces an expanded PCB (printed circuit board) assembly capability at the company's Columbus, Ohio (USA) global headquarters. Nexergy has installed a new SMT (surface mount technology) line to assemble rigid and flexible printed circuit assemblies as integrated components of the company's custom battery packs. The new equipment increases the company's PCB production capabilities by 60%, and enables the placement of finer pitch components. Through ongoing investments in capital equipment, Nexergy is able to significantly reduce customer lead time and improve quality control for its full range of custom products.

Printed circuit board assemblies produced at Nexergy incorporate the latest safety/protection requirements for battery packs utilizing certain cell chemistries, such as Lithium-ion, and are also used in applications requiring a "fuel gauge." The company's SMT capability is significant, as it enables Nexergy to work directly with its broad customer base on the design and manufacture of custom PCBs, rather than relying on an outsource strategy. The advanced automated equipment covers every facet of the electronics assembly process, including automated inspection and functional test. A seven-zone reflow oven provides superior control over thermal profiles. IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies guidelines are strictly adhered to by the Nexergy staff.

This enhanced electronics assembly capability is indicative of Nexergy's overall dedication to their customers. According to Phil Glandon, CEO of Nexergy, "Our focus on fast and flexible service distinguishes Nexergy as a leader in customer satisfaction and ease of doing business. Our enhanced SMT line allows our staff to be more responsive to our customers by controlling this process in-house, drastically reducing the time-to-market of our customer's portable electronic products."

Nexergy is an ISO 9001: 2000 certified company.
