Precision through experience: complete mechatronic solutions
elektromechanisches Detail einer Produktionsmaschine

Whether the production of electronics, printed circuit boards, drives, sensors, housings, cable harnesses or the qualification and use of connectors - Lacon has decades of experience and expertise in all these disciplines. In addition, Lacon is able to use these electronic and mechanical components and the integration of IT and AI software to develop complete solutions that are perfectly tailored to the requirements of our customers. Let us convince you!

What we understand by mechatronics

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of mechanics, electronics and IT - Lacon understands mechatronics as the art of integrating different disciplines with the aim of creating systems that are far more than just an assembly of modules and components.

Because if the interaction between electronics, mechanics and IT does not work, it quickly becomes time-consuming and expensive. With our holistic mechatronic approach, such errors can be avoided from the outset.

Many years of experience and expertise as one of the leading EMS providers in Germany and Europe enable Lacon to develop complex overall solutions that are electrifying in the truest sense of the word.

The seamless combination of mechanics, electronics and IT results in innovative products that meet the highest customer demands.

Highly individualized solutions

To this end, the multidisciplinary departments at Lacon work in close coordination - resulting in highly individualized solutions in which electronics, mechanics, software and IT are coordinated in such a way that they are mechatronically convincing - i.e. efficient and permanently reliable. We look forward to inspiring you too!

We understand mechatronics as the art of integrating different disciplines to create systems that are more than just the sum of their parts. Our many years of experience and expertise in the field of Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) enable us to develop complete solutions with the highest degree of complexity that impress.

We develop complete mechatronic solutions

As an EMS service provider whose main task is to develop and manufacture complete mechatronic solutions, Lacon masters a wide range of disciplines. Whether electronics design and development, sensor technology, 3D printing or robotics, we look forward to learning more about your project.

Mechatronics: electromechanics, electronics and computer science

Customized mechatronics solutions

This high level of expertise and decades of experience enable Lacon to combine the disciplines of mechanics, electronics and IT in an integrative manner and to create complete mechatronic solutions.

The in-depth specialist knowledge of our employees and the closely coordinated cooperation between the departments involved in the product development process enable us to develop and manufacture tailor-made mechatronic solutions for a wide range of industries, even for the most demanding applications. Thanks in part to this integrative approach, 97% of all orders are further optimized during the production process.

In addition to its own manufacturing expertise, Lacon has a stable supplier network with which it is in constant contact - ensuring a stable supply chain even in times of supply crises.

Examples of successful Lacon solutions

for demanding mechatronics projects

Railroad technology

Safety technology/sensor technology

For a project in the field of railroad technology, the brief was to develop and build sensor technology, electrical drives, mechanics and cabling in such a way that personal safety is guaranteed when the doors are closed. Reliability against vibrations and high temperature fluctuations were further specifications that Lacon implemented in a series solution for the project in a short time thanks to its many years of experience.

  • Design & engineering radio technology
  • SMT + THT incl. silicone encapsulation
  • Device construction

Railroad track construction

Battery technology in harsh environments

Powerful battery technology meets reliable mechanics in a project in which the wiring harness and plug connections, circuit board and operating unit were specially developed and manufactured by Lacon to meet the required reliability against high temperature fluctuations and strong vibrations as well as safe operation even in midday sun and darkness - and all this with demanding space and weight requirements.

  • Cable management for battery technology
  • Temperature and vibration protection
  • Painting/ protection of LP

Medical technology

Electromechanical precision engineering

When irradiating patients, the ability to precisely align the irradiation table is crucial for the success of radiotherapy. In the project developed and manufactured by Lacon, the control system, actuators for precise positioning and sensors for feedback and control work together in an integrated manner to ensure the precise alignment of the radiation table.

  • Complete system construction
  • KKF, electric motor technology, SMT + THT
  • High-precision technology

Hospital technology

Disinfection & patient protection

Together with a partner, Lacon developed a flushing system that meets the hygiene requirements in human medicine. From the controls, actuators and sensors to the cabling of the entire system, a complete system was designed that meets international safety requirements. In view of the harsh environmental factors, the firmware and hardware for signal processing, for example, were specially developed and designed with redundancy.

  • Hardware & software development
  • User Interface
  • SMT + THT

Security

Radio network technology

Security

A security system that is linked to the telephone network and triggers an action reliably and in real time at the touch of a button was the order placed with Lacon. From the electronics to the membrane keypad to the hardware, Lacon contributed its experience to the project and manufactured a product that, for example, dials an emergency number, sends a message, evacuates parts of a building or locks doors at the touch of a button - depending on what the user wants. 

  • Design & Engineering
  • Safety radio technology
  • Automation Sensors-Actuators

Sports technology

Cognitive psychology didactic systems

Golfers always need a clear view of the ball and the terrain when playing. For this order, Lacon developed and manufactured special golf glasses that are able to translate cognitive-psychological findings into technical sophistication. Lacon combined sensors for measuring light, adaptive lens control and actuators for darkening in such a way that the glasses stimulate a maximum training effect for ball control and hand-arm-body coordination.

Questions about mechatronics & electromechanics

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that builds on the classic disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. The term is made up of mechanics and electronics to show that mechatronics combines content from both disciplines. A typical mechatronic system receives signals, processes them and outputs signals, which it then converts into forces and movements.

Mechatronics and electromechanics are closely related disciplines that focus on the integration of mechanical, electronic and informational components, but with different focuses and areas of application:

  • Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of mechanics, electronics and computer science to design, analyze and control complex systems. It deals with the integration of mechanical components, electronic sensors and actuators as well as computer-controlled systems for the control and automation of machines and systems.
    Electromechanics refers specifically to the connection of electrical and mechanical components in systems and devices. This includes the design and manufacture of devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion (e.g. electric motors) or vice versa (e.g. generators). 

An EMS specialist that masters mechatronics and electromechanics differs from pure electronics manufacturers in its broad range of services. While a conventional EMS provider concentrates on electronics production and contract assembly, Lacon integrates the areas of mechanics, electronics and IT. This makes it possible to offer holistic solutions that go far beyond pure electronics production.

Lacon has experienced professionals with expertise in digitalization, electronics, mechatronics and electromechanics to support the entire product life cycle, including consulting, design, engineering, production, supply chain management and after-sales service.
