exceet Celebrates 15-Year Anniversary of Subsidiary AEMtec

Development and manufacture of intelligent micro- and optoelectronics

Quality and innovation 'Made in Germany'

Rotkreuz, Berlin, July 30, 2015 - This year the international technology corporation exceet Group AG is celebrating the 15-year anniversary of AEMtec. Originally established as a spin-off from Infineon Technologies, AEMtec now specializes in customer-specific development and manufacture of optical and (micro-)electronic multi-chip modules at its production facilities in Berlin. The exceet member company offers comprehensive engineering services and covers the entire range of requirements along the product lifecycle.

The internationally operating exceet corporation relies on state-of-the-art development and manufacturing techniques to achieve maximum product quality. For this reason, we are also continually investing in our Berlin facilities to position exceet for future challenges and permit us to offer our customers attractive, innovative solutions and products. At AEMtec, the prime focus of investment is on manufacturing technology. Two years ago, the company moved to new premises at the Berlin-Adlershof technology park, a new technology and competence center that numbers among the most modern production sites of this type in Germany.

Top Quality 'Made in Germany'

One AEMtec discipline is ultra-precise placement of highly complex components. Relying on the AMICRA Nova Plus machine acquired last year, the company can now manufacture large product volumes at highly competitive prices. Another leap forward for development work came in the form of a recently purchased XT V 160 x-ray inspection system by Nikon Inc. The XTV lets the 28- member development team display miniscule product details and helps keep manufacturing in step with ever-growing quality assurance demands. To optimize the production process, AEMtec has also invested in a fully automatic precision saw by the manufacturer DISCO. Being able to conduct in-house cutting of substrates such as silicon, glass, ceramic, SiC and composites up to
300mm (12 inches) means accelerated processing as well quality enhancement thanks to a shorter control loop. An integrated automatic water treatment facility guarantees compliance with environmental regulations. By way of replacement investments, AEMtec has expanded its machine park to include a new EKRA stencil printing machine (SERIO 4000 Compact) and an SMT Quattro Peak® M N2 reflow soldering system, as well as the scalable placement platform 'NXT III' by Fuji Inc. The latter is a modularly designed placement machine with easily interchangeable heads for processing different sizes of placement elements. Automated correction technology with image capture and image processing features ensures maximum system precision. AEMtec clients also profit from faster throughput times and the resulting reduced cost per item, as well
as minimized process setup times thanks to intelligent, fully automatic feeder units.
