Industrial technology
Industrial solutions on esd.equipment brings together technologies for electronics manufacturing and general industrial operations: measuring and testing technology (Kern & Sohn), pneumatics and hydraulics, linear technology, dispensing, component processing and PCB handling complement the core ESD range. Optical inspection with Dino-Lite microscopes, ultrasonic baths, industrial ovens and detectable products for HACCP areas complete the offering. The range is aimed at electronics manufacturers, machine builders and industrial maintenance departments.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Industrial technology
Which product areas does Industrial Solutions cover?
The area brings together measuring and testing technology from Kern & Sohn, USB microscopes from Dino-Lite, pneumatics (Nitto Kohki couplings, Jun-Air compressors), linear technology, lighting, dispensing, component processing, industrial ovens, PCB handling, ultrasonic baths and detectable products for HACCP areas.
Where can I find pneumatic cylinders, valves and hydraulics?
Pneumatic cylinders, valves, air preparation, hydraulics and the Festo and Aventics ranges are available in our specialist fluid technology shop, Fluidics Equipment (fluidics-equipment.com). Old esd.equipment links are redirected there automatically.
Which products are particularly relevant for electronics manufacturing?
For SMT and THT production the main items are PCB handling, component processing for bending and cutting leads, industrial ovens for baking moisture-sensitive components, dispensing technology for adhesive and solder paste, and microscopes for visual inspection.
What are detectable products?
Detectable products such as writing instruments, tools and consumables contain metallic or magnetisable additives. Broken fragments can therefore be found by metal detectors or X-ray systems. They are used in food and pharmaceutical production as part of HACCP.
What are ultrasonic baths used for?
Ultrasonic baths clean PCBs, stencils, nozzles, tools and small parts. Cavitation removes flux residues, pastes and dirt even from holes and gaps that a brush or cloth cannot reach.
Which scales and test instruments are available?
Kern & Sohn offers precision and analytical balances, counting scales, platform scales and measuring and test instruments. Many models are available in verifiable versions for legal-for-trade use.
