About us
IES Ingenieurbüro für Elektronikentwicklung und Spezialgerätebau in Braunschweig develops and manufactures electronics and special devices for the automotive, aerospace and defense industries. The portfolio includes LED heads, LED lights and controllers for onboard and offboard use in crash tests, temperature and humidity loggers, tilt sensors, ignition timers as well as cable, camera and test accessories. The value chain covers CAD design (2D/3D), thermal, optical and FEM simulations, PCB assembly with pick-and-place as well as manual and reflow soldering, cable and connector assembly, aluminium machining (milling, turning, drilling), riveting and 2K-PUR painting. In addition, the company offers environmental and testing services such as altitude (down to 40 mbar), temperature (-40 °C to 240 °C), humidity, shock (50 g/20 ms), EMC and HV insulation tests as well as a humidity calibrator calibration service. Its customers include Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, for which a high-speed LED lighting system for full-scale crash and rollover tests is planned, produced and installed.
