Precision Assembly is a Matter of Micron-Level Accuracy

When you’re assembling micro-scale components at industrial speed, the margin for error is effectively zero. A glue path 50 microns too wide, a weld a fraction off target, or a curing cycle misaligned by seconds — any of these can compromise structural integrity or lead to downstream failures. And in a world of thinner devices, that risk only grows.

As part of our broader offering in automated test & quality assurance solutions, Averna builds integrated, automated assembly systems engineered for extreme precision and consistency. We combine vision-guided robotics, sensor-based alignment, real-time inspection, and smart process control — so every bond is verified as it happens. Working with adhesives, ultrasonic welding, or UV curing? Our precision assembly services eliminate manual variability and scale your throughput without sacrificing quality.

A Full Suite of Precision Assembly Services

Our turnkey solutions combine proven test & measurement, control systems, machine vision, gluing/welding and robotics.

  1. Vision-Guided Robotic Assembly

    Our expertise in vision inspection, mechatronics and automated test equipments automation come together in extremely precise alignment operations based on sensor feedback.

    We use 2D/3D vision, laser triangulation, and smart sensors to guide micron-accurate motion and real-time positioning. This enables us to automate complex assemblies while continuously verifying quality at each step.

    Expertise includes:

    • Vision-guided mechatronics for micron-level positioning
    • Absolute-positioning systems with integrated quality inspection
    • Handling of miniaturized or fragile components with precision
    • Active alignment for optical components and assemblies
    • Human-like inspection for quality assurance
  2. Oven & UV Curing Systems

    We use the latest absolute-positioning technologies to support automated gluing or ultrasonic welding operations, followed by UV or oven curing. These ensure consistent strength, reduced curing times, and high production throughput.

    Expertise includes:

    • Glue dispensing paths as tight as 1.5 mg over 50 mm
    • UV and oven curing integrated into high-speed lines
    • Process optimization for different adhesive chemistries

Precisely Assembled for You to Take the Next Step.

Looking to validate a concept or solve a complex assembly challenge? Our team can support your project at any stage — from early engineering prototyping and consultancy to full-scale production. Averna helps you reduce risk and get to market faster.

Automated Production + Integrated Quality Inspection

Our turnkey systems can ensure both high throughput and perfectly accurate assembly. Depending on your needs, they can be semi- or fully automated.

Due to the continuing trend of product miniaturization with increased complexity, our automated assembly and test systems merge essential steps. Accurate gluing, welding, laser and assembly solutions are key for next-generation devices.

As a result, the clear distinction between assembly and testing starts to blur. In smartphones, for example, testing and soldering the battery is one step in the production process. Hence, a combination of ultra-precise dosing, fixation, positioning and real-time feedback is essential to ensure best results and maximum reliability.

Precision Assembly in Action with a Glue-Dosing Solution

With modern devices being mostly glued together, the glue path needs to be as accurate and thin as possible, while still ensuring solidity. We’ve increased Océ’s production level and ROI by implementing a self-calibrating vision system and volumetric-glue dosing solution.

Case Study

Precision Glue-Dosing Solution for Océ

Cover - Precise Glue-Dosing Solution Secures Many Benefits for OCÉ
In the consumer electronics industry, Océ, from the Canon Group Company, partnered with Averna to improve the precision and repeatability of a critical assembly step in printhead manufacturing. The goal was to eliminate variability in glue application and ensure consistent bonding quality across high-value components.
  • Vision-guided motion system enabling micron-level alignment and controlled glue deposition, ensuring consistent positioning and bonding accuracy
  • Automated volumetric dosing with self-calibration ensuring precise and repeatable glue application, independent of operator and process variations
This approach standardizes precision assembly by removing process variability, improving repeatability and ensuring consistent product quality in high-precision manufacturing environments.
