New in the Totech product portfolio: The Dry Lift. With Dry Lift we combine our unique Drying and Handling techniques to create a high-quality, reliable storage solution. Dry Lift is available in three different versions. Dry Lift Basic, Dry Lift Plus and Dry Lift Pro. All three are storage solutions for large volumes on a small footprint, with variable height up to 10 meters. The Dry Lift Basic is a non-automated vertical lift module that is equipped with insulating panels and a guillotine door that covers the lift opening, this creates an airtight Storage Solution. Do you already have a vertical lift in your factory? We can upgrade this to a Dry Lift Basic. The Dry Lift Plus is a Dry Lift Basic, but already equipped with reel inlays. The inlays make sure you can store all reels vertically which makes it a very “reel friendly” solution, stored in the most optimal way. With a 7m high vertical lift, you have a capacity of 49.000 reels! The Dry Lift Plus is a semi-automated solution. In combination with the Storage Manager Software, it will automatically bring the right tray with the correct parts forward when your system demands this according tot he production planning. The Dry Lift Pro is the Dry Lift Plus, but as a completely automated storage solution. With a robot-arm in the vertical lift opening, there is no manual handling needed in this process. The store in and take out are fully automated.

Totech Europe values team work, dedication and hard work. All values come back in the youth soccer team from RSV Rotenburg. That is why, Totech Europe sponsors The national league team RSV U17. The soccer team is in the qualification phase for the Lower Saxony League. Led by an international coaching team, they are a young and dynamic team who wants to improve its performance. We find it important to contribute to the local community and support the next generation, therefore Totech Europe sponsors the tracksuits of the complete team.

It’s the year 2004, the use of ‘lead’ in solder alloy is banned due to EU legislation, Jos Brehler, CEO of Totech Europe, starts his company with the knowledge that, by eliminating lead from the solder alloy, the moisture related issues increase dramatically due to the increase of pressure on the parts by raising the reflow temperatures for this new alloy. As a result, components which hold too much moisture during reflow will cause defects due to Popcorning (vaporizing moisture creating micro-cracks), which can lead to failure of the entire assembly. Long story short, the solution to prevent these defects, a dry and conditioned storage environment for MSL components. The birth of the first Dry Cabinets in Europe is a fact.  The ambition to become the specialist in Dry Storage Solutions grew from early on. That is why in 2007, Totech Europe changed from being a sales company to a product development and production organization! To become even stronger in the Automated Dry storage solutions, Totech Europe joined as a proud member of the ASYS Group in 2017. Together with ASYS Group we offer a unique product portfolio for manufactures in many industries. first to know!  Today we are ‘Connecting safe storage to Smart Manufacturing’. Our vision is, to be the leading supplier of Sustainable Dry Storage Solutions for electronic manufacturers worldwide. When we look back at the last two decades, we see a bright future ahead! To celebrate the first 20 years of Totech EU we gave our website a big update. Hopefully you like what you see!

Exciting news! We will expand our facility in Hattem! The construction will start in Q3 of this year. Our Long Term Storage facility will move beside us and with the growth we have experienced the last few years, additional office space will be added. Long Term Storage Solutions (LTS), is a service by Totech Europe offering safe, off-site storage and quality testing of components, subassemblies and moisture sensitive devices. Our secure, quarantine areas are compliant to international standards for MSD and Long Term Component Storage, (J-STD-033 & IEC62435). With the new location, we will be able to assist our customers easier and more flexible with the move from our LTS to our head office. Below we will keep you up to date on the latest developments. Follow the construction and subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates. No updates yet.

The storage of moisture sensitive (electronic) components and materials are problematic. Manufacturers with Long term Storage Requirements face additional obstacles. Due to rapid changes in packaging design, material and a very high demand for electronic components (consequently a shortage of semiconductors in all industries), companies find themselves forced to purchase additional quantities of components in order to guard against the impact of component obsolescence on their final product designs. This in turn creates an issue of long term inventory storage. Product lifecycles have become very short with new models being released sooner than ever before. However, many manufacturers in industries including automobiles, aviation and avionics, military and railway must guarantee the availability of replacement parts including PCBs for ten or even twenty years. This demands the advance purchase and extended storage of components and materials. Further complicating the problem is that most components cannot be stored for more than a few years without very special handling procedures. After long-term storage, components and circuit boards are often no longer solderable, due to oxidation caused by the oxygen of the air (oxidant) and the humidity (electrolyte). However, if the humidity, which forms an invisible water film of few atomic layers on the surfaces, is lowered below 5% RH, this corrosion process is stopped. At the same time, other negative effects due to moisture absorption are also avoided. Intermetallic compounds form when two unlike metals diffuse into one another creating species materials which are combinations of the two materials. Intermetallic growth is the result of the diffusion of one material into another via crystal vacancies made available by defects, contamination, impurities, grain boundaries and mechanical stress. There are a number of locations within the electronic package where these dissimilar metals are joined. These include die level interconnects and wire bonds, plating finishes on lead frames, solder joints, flip chip interconnects, etc. Growth of intermetallics during the storage period can occur and reduce the strength. Intermetallic growth rate is strongly temperature-dependent and doubles for each 10°C temperature increase. This aging process can be slowed by appropriate cooling. However, the risk of whisker formation of tin alloys increases with decreasing temperature. Studies and practice have shown that a storage temperature of 13-14°C is optimal. The XSDC-1412-55 cabinet from Totech Europe will help you avoid risks as mentioned above. Find out more about the XSDC long term storage Dry Cabinets.
