How Sennheiser increased PCB testing by 33% with a Robotiq 2F-85 gripper

At Sennheiser Manufacturing USA in Albuquerque, precision is non-negotiable.

Every week, the facility assembles 30,000 printed circuit boards (PCBs) that power 1,500 professional audio devices for the Americas and Asia. With 115 different PCB variants running through production, automation is essential to maintain throughput and quality.

But one critical step remained manual: 100% PCB testing.

As production increased, testing became a bottleneck.

Here’s how Sennheiser removed that bottleneck and increased the number of PCBs tested by 33% in one year.
