Electro-Mechanical Assembly
UPECA provides comprehensive range of complex OEM turnkey electro-mechanical assembly services for oilfield companies, which mainly focusing in upstream, downhole equipment. Our product portfolio includes Wire-harness, Connectors, and Housings Assembly meant for Measurement/Logging While Drilling (MWD/LWD) tools. We work closely with our clients to develop detailed and work instructions to ensure we build a quality product every single time. We can assemble from simple product that only require a single connector-wire to complex products that necessitate multiple cable arrangements, specific torque requirements and mechanical build.

Our hand soldering technicians are highly trained individuals, certified to IPC/WHMA-A-620B. Within ESD workstations, our technicians are equipped with appropriate tools to assemble the challenging product configurations.

Processes involve such as:

• Soldering
• Wire insulation stripping
• Wire placement
• Crimping
• Sleeving/Shrink tubing
• Molding/Potting
