FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

We design and manufacture dedicated, advanced industrial machines, including inductive components production lines (see: inductor production), automated assembly systems, testing machines, and electronic process support equipment.

We also build simple machines, devices, and production equipment – ​​we fully equip your production line!

The machine is meant to do the "hard work," so you can focus on your ideas. 😎

We specialize in winding machines (winders): single-spindle, multi-spindle, with manual, semi-automatic, and automatic changeover. Winders for thin and thick wires, as well as robotic systems.

Our machines combine modern technology, automation, and precise control mechanisms! This is crucial for achieving high quality and precision in final products.

They are specially adapted for the production of inductive components – coils, chokes, and transformers.

We typically don't design them to meet specific electrical parameters of the product – we allow for a wide range of parameters during the machine setup stage (making the machines versatile) while simultaneously ensuring precisely repeatable results during production (ensuring that products precisely meet the intended specifications).

Of course! Every machine we produce is tailored to the customer's specific requirements—from mechanical configuration to control software.

Your idea + our know-how = a tailor-made machine.

We support you every step of the way.

We start with an inquiry and needs analysis, then we design, build, test, and launch the machine at the customer's premises. 😎

The lead time for a custom machine depends on the project's complexity, but is always clearly defined at the outset. We provide training for operators and technical staff, and each machine is delivered to the customer with full technical documentation and a maintenance manual. In short: we manage the project from the very first "hello" all the way to stable production. 💡

We design and build machines for a wide range of industries—from electronics and inductive component production, through industrial automation, to custom-made solutions. 😎 We complete one-off projects and short-run production runs, including for international clients.

And if you represent a unique industry and your machine must meet non-standard, specific requirements—even more interesting! Simply define your requirements clearly, and we will design a solution precisely to meet those requirements.

NEOTECH machines can be optionally equipped with quality control systems, online measurement, and production data and process parameter logging.

This isn't standard, as we know that every process has different needs. However, when precision, data analysis, and traceability are key, we add the appropriate modules without hesitation!

We automate exactly as much as needed—not too little, not too much! 😎
We design machines based on the customer's needs and expected production scale: manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic. Efficiency depends heavily on the specific requirements, products, and machines:

• Manual and semi-automatic solutions typically produce from a single item to several hundred or even as few as several thousand items per day.
• Fully automated machines can produce up to 10,000 or more products per day!

In short: at NEOTECH, we deliver solutions from prototype to mass production—without changing machine suppliers.

Yes—we take safety very seriously.

We design NEOTECH machines in accordance with CE requirements and applicable EU standards—our standard is the application of proven machine safety standards.

If necessary, we adapt solutions to standards applicable outside the European Union, ensuring the machine is ready to work exactly where you need it.

Yes! We care for machines not only at startup, but throughout their entire lifespan.

We modernize existing machines and production lines, offer warranty and post-warranty service, provide spare parts for older designs, and, if necessary, provide remote assistance through diagnostics and online technical support.

Some of our clients purchase old, used, and worn-out machines and entrust them to us for commissioning, collection, service, and modernization. This is often a cheaper and faster solution.

In short: your machine is well-cared for with us, regardless of its age.

Both! It really depends on the budget and the expected lead time! It's clear that a single machine will be simpler and faster to build than a complete line.

We can provide individual standalone machines (e.g., a tinning machine) or those for integration into existing production (e.g., body changers), or complete production lines that operate from A to Z, from component feeding to final product output.

Most of our machines are used in the electronics component production sector. Our automated machines handle, among other things:

• Winding
• Tinning / soldering
• Pin assembly, bending, and crimping
• Taping
• Testing and measuring electrical parameters
• Packaging components

We have also built machines for many other processes and industries:

• Automatic handling and sorting of various components
• Auxiliary processes in food production
• Testing equipment in the energy industry
• Production machines for the defense, aerospace, automotive, and medical industries...
• Supporting processes requiring repeatability and precision

In short: if a process can be automated, our machines can handle it 💪

You can learn about the entire development process of our machines HERE.

In short:

• request and needs analysis,
• technical concept,
• design and construction,
• testing,
• commissioning and training.

No "black box" – the client knows the current stage of the project.

We often combine both approaches: we rely on individually designed machine concepts from scratch. We base the design on proven modules and components (we draw on our considerable experience – we have built over 300 production machines and know what works and what doesn't), and we tailor the entire machine to the client's design.

It's a bit like building a LEGO set for engineers! 😎

It depends on your production needs! 😎

• A standalone machine is great if you need flexibility and faster turnaround. It also allows you to maintain at least part of your process or capacity when other machines are down.
• A production line extension is perfect when you want to automate a specific step and seamlessly integrate it with your existing production. Full integration usually ensures maximum efficiency. BUT – if a failure occurs in one part of the production line, the entire process grinds to a halt.

In short: standalone = flexibility, extension = seamless integration and automation. We offer both options and technical support. The decision is yours! 😎

It depends on the goal and scale of the project.

• A dedicated machine is ideal when you need full control over functions, process, and performance (even precise control over the position of all components at all times) – ideal for new, custom products.
• Adapting an existing device is faster and often more economical – meaning significantly cheaper in the short term. If the changes are minor or you want to use proven solutions, it's a great option.

In short: new = full customization, upgrade = quick and effective adaptation. And sometimes… a combination of both approaches yields the best results! 💡

Yes – if you want it!

Our machines can be designed for full integration with existing systems (control, process synchronization, and compatibility with third-party devices are our daily routine).

If you're looking for a standalone machine, we can design and build that too.

No. We build manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic machines. The scale depends on needs, not catalog ambitions.

Very well! Modernization is our specialty. An upgrade is often faster and cheaper than a new machine, and the results can be better.

Yes. A machine without a trained operator is just a pretty piece of furniture. We prefer it to be operational.

We offer training not only for machine operators, but also for service department employees, setters, and production supervisors.

Yes—we design them with growth in mind. Today's semi-automatic machine can become tomorrow's fully automatic machine. 🚀

We build both.
We design machines from scratch when the application requires it, but we also judiciously utilize proven components and standards when it shortens implementation time and increases reliability.
We don't reinvent the wheel—unless the old one no longer fits.

As much as necessary. The scope of dedication includes:

• mechanics,
• automation,
• software,
• operating ergonomics,
• integration with the customer's process.

We don't sell a "one size fits all" model, because that's simply not possible!

We offer both options. We prefer standalone stations, such as robotic production machines, but we have completed a variety of projects, including add-ons for existing lines and complete production lines.

The scope depends on your process needs, not on our catalog.

No – and that's intentional. This isn't always necessary. Poorly implemented automation generates significant costs without significantly improving the process. It often even complicates daily operations. Automation simply isn't necessary.

Not every machine manufacturer knows this. We do, which is why we design a full range of machines: manually operated, semi-automatic, and fully automatic.

We select the level of automation based on many factors, especially production volume, process flexibility, and the client's budget. Automation should be a help, not a hindrance.

First, we estimate and calculate the actual cycle time (takt), then make promises. In practice, the type of solution depends on the expected process efficiency. Additionally, some processes can be easily scaled – for example, installing a second identical machine. This has additional advantages – not only does it double production efficiency but also ensures that in the event of a failure, production doesn't "ground to a halt" but continues to operate, albeit with limited efficiency!

Depending on the solution type, we can typically assume:

• Manual devices / semi-automatic machines: from a single item to several hundred products per day,
• Fully automated production machines: 10,000+ products per day and more.

Yes, this is a very common scenario. We integrate machines with existing automation, control systems, and supervisory systems (MES/SCADA – if required). The machine should fit the line, not the line should fit the machine.

Yes - Prototypes, pilot machines, and pre-series versions make up the majority of our machines.

This is due to their specific design – each is tailored to the customer's individual needs. Of course, it's possible to order multiple machines or machine series from us. However, very often, after ordering the first unit, customers request programming or design changes to subsequent units, thereby creating new models – and new prototypes.

Yes, absolutely! A machine doesn't have to be retired just because the process or requirements have changed.

We offer mechanical upgrades, automation retrofits, adaptations to new products, and increased efficiency or safety.

Yes. If the design allows, we modernize third-party machines, production lines, and older machines. Each modernization project is preceded by a technical audit and a review of your requirements, after which a decision is made.

Yes – usually as an option. Most of our clients expect control systems that improve quality and reduce employee workload, so we offer a wide range of control methods based on their requirements.

We can integrate features such as online measurements, process parameter control, non-conforming part rejection, and production data recording.

We tailor the standard to your requirements, not force it.

Yes – if the customer requires it. Typically, customers have existing control and data analysis systems, so we only handle data acquisition from the machine. But we offer more options.

The following are possible: process parameter recording, production data recording, and data export to customer systems.

No unnecessary digitization, but complete control.

Yes. We train operators, automation technicians, and maintenance technicians. Training takes place on-site, on a real machine, not just on slides.

Yes. The machines are designed in accordance with EU directives, safety standards, and CE requirements.

Adaptation to standards applicable outside the EU is also possible.

The most common are:

• electronics and electrical engineering,
• electric drive manufacturing,
• inductive components manufacturing,
• precision industry,
• defense industry,
• food industry,
• specialized manufacturing.

If you represent a unique industry, even better, as we appreciate interesting projects. Please provide your specific requirements.

Because at NEOTECH, we understand processes, not just mechanics. We always design for actual production, and at every stage, you have full and transparent communication with an engineer, not a corporate form.

A machine is meant to last for years – not just look good on inspection.
