A Company in the Tradition of the high-tech Location Jena in Germany

Jena has been a worldwide well-known and acknowledged location for leading technologies and innovations for over a century. The city’s success story started in November 1846 when the engineer Carl Zeiss founded the first mechanical workshop. In Ernst Abbe he found a congenial associate and later partner to revolutionize the manufacture of optical instruments. Later Zeiss and Abbe faced the limits of available glass quality and consequently the glass chemist, Otto Schott, joined the partnership. Schott was able to engineer glass with the required characteristics based on numerous theoretical approaches and smelting samples. This was the basis for further revolutionary developments for microscopy and many historic inventions such as the first prism binoculars (1894).

 

GOEPEL electronic – the History goes on

GOEPEL electronic has been one of the pioneers of the most innovative electrical test technology for electronic components and PCBs, JTAG/Boundary Scan. All engineering tasks required to introduce the Boundary Scan technology up to the generation of product-specific test programs as well as training seminars are part of the overall customer support by GOEPEL electronic.

In the meantime, Automated Optical Inspection has developed to one of the most commanding test technologies in electronic production. In the first year just a few systems were manufactured, but relatively quickly a product range emerged that found an appropriate infrastructure in the new company building, which was opened in 2003.

Additionally, the functional test of electronic assemblies and devices, in particular for Automotive Testing, has been one of the supporting pillars in the Company’s business activities. They are mainly focussed on the requirements of the automotive industry.

Furthermore the customized Functional Test Systemsoptimally suit for the automation of test runs. Integrated in a production line, as test system for final products or as repair station, versatile requirements can be realised with these systems.

In addition to technological and commercial achievements, GOEPEL electronic’s development proves that innovation and quality are decisive factors to achieve top rankings on a highly competitive market. The traditions established so long ago in Jena continue.
