Space-Qualified Process Equipment Support
Process Equipment for
High-Reliability Electronics Manufacturing
Supporting satellite, launch vehicle, and defense electronics manufacturers with specialized process equipment for cleaning, component preparation, wire bonding, tinning, and thermal processing.
Process Equipment Categories
Specialized equipment for manufacturers producing electronics that must perform in vacuum, extreme thermal cycling, radiation environments, and high-vibration launch conditions.
Cleaning & Contamination Control
Vapor degreasing, hydro-cleaning systems, and DI water systems for removing fluxes, residues, and particulates from PCB assemblies before conformal coating or hermetic sealing. Supports MIL-STD and NASA-STD cleanliness requirements.
Lead Forming & Component Preparation
Automatic and pneumatic lead forming, cutting, and reconditioning systems for axial, radial, and surface-mount components. Ensures consistent lead geometry and standoff for high-reliability through-hole and mixed-technology assemblies.
Wire Bonding
Manual and semi-automatic wedge bonders for aluminum and gold wire bonding on hybrid microcircuits, RF modules, and space-qualified microwave assemblies. Deep-access tooling for densely packaged multichip modules.
Tinning & Solderability
Component tinning systems for restoring solderability on aged or high-temperature-exposed leads. Flux and solder paste application tools for controlled deposition on space-qualified assemblies where manual tinning introduces variability.
Thermal & Vacuum Processing
Precision heating plates, vacuum ovens, and controlled thermal workstations for epoxy cure, solder reflow, bake-out, and outgassing reduction. Temperature uniformity to support processes validated for flight hardware.
PCB / SMT Support Equipment
DI water systems, stencil cleaning, and PCB handling equipment for surface-mount assembly lines. Supports the process infrastructure surrounding the specialized cleaning and component-prep equipment.
Who This Equipment Serves
Our process equipment supports manufacturers and integrators whose electronics must survive launch vibration, thermal vacuum cycling, radiation exposure, and years of unattended orbital operation.

North American Support Model
Akrivis provides North American distribution and integration support for specialized electronics manufacturing process equipment. We work with manufacturers whose equipment is deployed in production environments requiring documented process control, application validation, and ongoing technical support.
Application Review
We evaluate your process requirements, cleanliness specifications, throughput targets, and facility constraints before recommending equipment, not after.
Installation & Process Qualification
Equipment installation, operator training, and process qualification support so your first production articles meet documented acceptance criteria.
Ongoing Technical Support
Spare parts, consumables, process troubleshooting, and equipment service. We stay engaged after the purchase because process equipment is a production dependency, not a transaction.
