Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions... Our Answers...

Our FAQ section for quick answers about our electronic products, tips, and services.

Clear and effective solutions to enhance your experience.

My company needs a new custom electronic board, but we're not exactly sure how it should be designed. How can you help us ?

You can contact us, and our qualified engineers will assess your needs. We will develop one or more technical solutions to meet your requirements, considering factors such as power requirements, cost, and size. Then, we present the identified options so you can choose one. Finally, we provide you with a detailed quote for the entire project and production.

Our design will include a display and switches. How can we choose them ?

We can present you with the different technologies, along with their impact on cost, complexity, reliability, and obsolescence. Our extensive experience will certainly guide you toward the best compromise based on your needs

As a Swiss supplier, aren’t your prices too high ?

We do our best to keep costs within the market range. For large-scale production, we typically work with long-standing partners in China for assembly and other labor-intensive operations. However, thanks to highly efficient production and control tools, we perform the final inspection and programming 100% in our workshop

What is the development time ?

We adjust the timelines based on the complexity and the technology to be implemented. We complete most projects, from order to prototypes, within 4 to 12 weeks.

What is the lifespan of an electronic device ?

The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of electronic devices can be calculated. Most components have an unlimited lifespan, but some parts like capacitors, LEDs, and relays have a limited lifespan. By choosing the right type for the application, the lifespan can be very long, often exceeding 10 years. Typically, the lifespan is limited by damage to connectors, oxidation, and other electromechanical elements. Capacitors can also limit the lifespan, but we have some tricks to extend this beyond the usual limits.

What is the product lifecycle ?

The lifecycle of an electronic system corresponds to the period during which it can continue to be produced. Electronic components evolve rapidly, especially those intended for consumer use. However, we select industrial-grade components that are guaranteed to be available for at least 10 years after the project launch.

Over a 10-year period, some components may need to be replaced with equivalents without affecting the electrical specifications. Beyond 10 years, it becomes necessary to update the design with newer components or increase inventory to cover the remaining product lifecycle.

We have products that have been running continuously for 18 years. Our experience allows us to avoid common pitfalls and ensure the longevity of electronic systems.

What is automated electronic PCB assembly ?

Automated electronic PCB assembly is a key step in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This process uses automated machines to place and solder electronic components onto the boards. It enables the production of electronic devices in large quantities, quickly, with precision, and at lower costs.

Main steps of automated assembly :

Solder paste application : Solder paste is applied to specific areas of the PCB.
Component placement : A pick-and-place machine automatically positions the electronic components (resistors, capacitors, chips, etc.) onto the board.
Soldering : The components are fixed through a reliable soldering process.
Automatic inspection : Vision systems (AOI) check the quality of the assembly, including component placement and connections.

Advantages of automated assembly :

High precision : Reduces human errors.
Speed : Mass production at high speed.
Reliability : Consistent, high-quality results.
Cost savings : Reduces labor costs and waste.

This automated assembly process is essential to meet the demands of the modern electronics industry.

What is manual electronic PCB assembly ?

Older methods, such as through-hole technology (THT), offer several advantages :

Proven reliability : THT technology has been widely used for decades and is known for its high reliability, especially for applications that require high robustness.
Mechanical strength : THT components are generally more resistant to mechanical stress and vibrations compared to surface-mount (SMT) components, making them ideal for harsh environments.
Ease of repair : PCBs using THT are easier to repair as the components are more accessible and can be replaced more easily.
Lower production cost for some applications : In some cases, THT board production can be more cost-effective, particularly for smaller production volumes or products requiring larger components.
Compatibility with more powerful components : THT allows for the use of larger and more powerful components, which may be necessary for some industrial or high-power electronic applications.
Less sensitive to thermal stress : THT components are better able to withstand significant thermal variations than their SMT counterparts.

At Dynamic Motion, the THT method is still in use. This expertise allows them to meet all your requests.

What tests are conducted at Dynamic Motion ?

The tests we conduct in our workshops include :

Electromagnetic Emission Testing : We measure the levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by devices to ensure they do not exceed the allowed limits. These tests are conducted in controlled conditions and according to strict standards to ensure compliance with local and international regulations, such as CE standards or military requirements.
Electromagnetic Susceptibility Testing : We simulate disrupted environments to assess the resistance of devices to external electromagnetic interference, ensuring proper functionality.
Conduction Testing : We verify that the devices do not cause disturbances on power or signal lines.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Testing : We evaluate the products' ability to withstand electrostatic discharges without suffering damage or malfunction.

Why perform electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing ?

Electromagnetic compatibility refers to the ability of an electronic device to function correctly without disturbing other electronic equipment and without being affected by external interference.

In sectors such as automotive, industry, telecommunications, and aerospace, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is crucial to ensure product performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.

What is box building ?

Box building involves designing and assembling enclosures based on the environment and the constraints of electronic systems. Whether for industrial applications, precision equipment, or devices in harsh environments, Dynamic Motion offers custom solutions, ensuring optimal protection and seamless integration of electronic components.

Furthermore, we work with a wide range of high-quality materials to provide robust, durable, and aesthetically pleasing enclosures. Each project is unique, and we ensure that we meet our customer specific needs, taking into account thermal, mechanical, aesthetic, and ergonomic aspects.

Can I get a box building solution ?

At Dynamic Motion, we put our expertise at the service of your projects. We offer comprehensive box-building solutions, from concept to realization. We design and manufacture custom enclosures, perfectly tailored to your specific needs and the requirements of your applications.

Moreover, we support you at every stage of the process. First, our team designs prototypes. Then, these prototypes are tested and adjusted to ensure they meet your technical specifications.

Additionally, we handle the assembly of electronic components inside the enclosure. We also integrate all necessary systems, such as connectivity, cooling, or protection.

Are the box building tested ?

At Dynamic Motion, quality is our priority. Every enclosure we design and manufacture undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its durability and performance. We verify material compliance, assembly accuracy, and the functionality of the integration.

Our quality control tests cover aspects such as sealing, protection against electromagnetic interference, as well as mechanical and thermal resistance.

Can I get ready-to-use products ?

Box building is not limited to simply manufacturing enclosures.

In fact, we offer a complete solution, from design to production, including assembly, wiring, and testing.

Thus, with our expertise, you benefit from ready-to-use products, perfectly tailored to your needs and immediately ready to be deployed in your facilities.
