Custom Assembly Services
Our custom assembly services feature two main types of assembly: mechanical and electromechanical. BGM is sensitive to managing assembly time and cost-efficiency challenges associated with both types.
Mechanical Assembly
Mechanical assembly is one of the most common types of custom assembly. It usually involves individual specialists attaching mechanical components in an assembly line to complete a finished product.
Electromechanical Assembly
Similar to mechanical assembly, electromechanical assembly involves specialized processes along the line. In contrast, this aspect of assembly focuses on adding electronic components like circuitry, printed circuit boards, and other components related to the electronic functions of the finished item.
​
Our Assembly Processes
To complete assembly for our clients, BGM utilizes a variety of assembly processes such as:
-
Fastening. This is a mechanical process usually involving screws, bolts, rivets, staples, clips, and other types of mechanical fasteners.
-
Adhesive bonding. We use a variety of glues, epoxies, or various plastic agents that cure using evaporation, heat, pressure, or time to meet specific application needs.
-
Heat staking. This joining process involves thermal coupling of two pieces of plastic, or plastic and one other material, negating the need for mechanical fasteners or adhesives.
-
Ultrasonic welding. By converting high-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical motion and applied force, plastic material melts and creates a molecular bond between the joined parts.
-
Soldering. In electromechanical assembly, soldering performs two functions: it creates a mechanical bond for attaching a component and provides a conductive pathway for electronic circuitry.
