Test Benches + Electronic & RF Design

▪ Industrial & test engineering is the fundamental of CR&C

mindset – in accordance to this, we have been

developing, manufacturing and selling Testing Equipment

for various fields (from energy to RF). We work closely

together with our customers to plan and develop capable

solutions to encompass customized testing

▪ From their origins in the RF field, CR&C’s engineers have

experience from many years in the industry. This

knowledge and expertise is applied to all aspects of the

services as well as to the design of RF, digital and analog

systems. Particularly we design, manufacture and

distribute electronic boards for Control system,

Communication and Power Supply.

12

▪ The internal Clean Room facility plays a key role on the High

Radio Frequency products.

▪ This technology is crucial into several markets such as

Telecommunication, Automotive, Avionics and Biomedical

devices.

▪ Our Clean Room is equipped with the Wedge Bonder Kulicke

and Soffa Model 4526 .

Special asset: Clean Room facility

Technologies

▪ Wedge bonder

▪ Thermo bonder

▪ Ribbon bonder

▪ Metallographic

▪ Thin film technology

▪ BGA rework technology

End Of Life Management & Repair Center

Due to components obsolescence, production outage and companies

merge and acquisitions, EoL or EoS are more and more common in the ITC

market. In order to face this critical issue CR&C provides its customers with

several tailored solutions according to client/product needs, such as:

▪ Last Buy Order Management, on behalf of our customers we buy

obsolete components to secure products repairability

▪ Refurbished products supply

▪ Update Engineering, to solve unexpected delivery outage or severe

obsolescence we exploit our Electronic and RF design competence to

update the unit circuitry with new components available on the market

Thanks to our Industrial Engineering expertise, we are able to setup the

repair activities of any electronic product.

Our repair portfolio covers a large portion of the entire

telecommunications requirement. CR&C has the in-house capability to

repair thousands different unit types. The complete list of our portfolio is

available on demand.
