Customer Project Scenario — High-Reliability Industrial Control Systems

Industrial CNC control panel and exposed PCB showing internal electronic system

A global industrial automation company partnered with LinkPCBA to produce a multi-layer control board used in a servo driver module.
The project required:

  • Reliable 24/7 operation under continuous load
  • High-current copper structures for power conversion
  • Stable high-speed signal integrity for control loops
  • Anti-interference PCB design with strict EMC/EMI requirements
  • Long lifecycle guarantee for industrial-grade components
  • Small prototype batches followed by fast mass-production transition

LinkPCBA provided a fully validated PCB & PCBA manufacturing solution enabling rapid verification and stable volume production.

Technical Challenges in Industrial Control Electronics

Industrial automation electronics face extreme operating environments. Key technical challenges include:

  • Continuous high-load operation
    Industrial machines operate 24/7, requiring long-term thermal stability and durable solder joints.
  • High-current & power conversion
    Motor drivers, power modules, and industrial power supplies often require heavy copper, thermal vias, and efficient heat dissipation.
  • EMC / EMI robustness
    Industrial environments introduce strong electromagnetic noise; PCB layout, grounding, isolation spacing, and filtering must be precise.
  • Mixed-signal complexity
    Analog, digital, and power circuits coexist on one board, requiring careful separation, impedance control, and signal loop optimization.
  • Long product lifecycle
    Industrial customers require stable supply chain support for 5–10 years.
