Algonquin Tool.
1950s Algonquin
Tool enters the
electronics world
by manufacturing
TV tuners and
enclosures for
companies such as
Admiral Television.
Algonquin Tool
becomes Electro
Metal Products
Corporation.
1960s Leonard

Electro Metal
Products while TV
chassis and internal
brackets become complementary to the company’s
expertise in tuners and enclosures.
1970s As TV
production slows,
EMP diversifies
into new markets to
fuel the company’s
continued growth.
EMP enters into a
partnership with Ertl
toys to stamp metal
parts for its toy

LARSEN
MANUFACTURING
1990s Electro
Metal Products’
range of
expertise
engages
them with
government labs. Electro Metal Products is sold. Dave and
Denis, the grandsons of Leonard Larsen, Sr., open the all-
new Larsen Manufacturing in Mundelein, Illinois, in 1999.
2000 80% of the prior company’s customer base comes
back to the new Larsen, now owned and operated by
Dave and Denis Larsen. Seeing the demand for quality
metal stampings in the border region, Larsen responds by
opening a second facility in El Paso, Texas. Larsen invests
in their Mundelein tooling capabilities in preparation for
continued growth.
2005 Larsen expansion continues and Dave and Denis
Larsen set up a strategic location in El Paso, Texas, to
accommodate and support customers within the Mexico
border region.
2010 Larsen moves
its corporate office
and headquarters
to a new 60,000
square-foot facility
in Mundelein,
Illinois, as growth
continues.
Precision Metal
Fabrication and
WAND PCB
Depaneling are
added to the Larsen breadth of services offerings. Within
this time frame Larsen also grows its global presence as
the team creates a joint venture in Hong Kong, China, to
better support Larsen customers in Asia.
2013 The Specialty Fabrication and Machining Group is added
to the Larsen service offering, and 20,000 additional square
feet are added onto the headquarters in Mundelein, Illinois.
2014 Larsen Manufacturing celebrates its 15th year in
business. Larsen continues to grow, fueled by innovation,
quality products, insight, and a continuous commitment to

WAND PCB Deplaneling maximizes the reliability of your manufacturing.

13. T
he WAND Depaneling
System, a Larsen
Manufacturing Business
Unit, designs and builds
today’s most elite depaneling
equipment for the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB) industry. By
greatly reducing and eliminating
any stress or flex during the
separation process of multiple-
populated PCBs, the WAND
Depaneling System safeguards
against fractured joints and
excess burrs, and leaves
disjointed arrays quickly and
cleanly separated. The WAND
System is perfectly suited to
accommodate medium to high
volume PCB separation needs.
The WAND Depaneling
Singulation Process is
capable of punching individual
or multiple populated PCB
Board panels within any
specified working area in a
total cycle time of less than
12 seconds!
• Tooling Change: inherent in the
design of the press, product
changeover is complete in under
three minutes.
• Wand Depaneling Press
features: air/oil power pack;
quick-change clamping; die
package; storage elevator
(optional); air logic control;
fully enclosed structure; 1½”
maximum component height
including board thickness.
• Safety: optical touch controls;
completely guarded cutting area;
two anti-repeat / anti-tie downs;
built-in safety light curtains;
package positioning sensors;
four pneumatic clamps.
• Automated Capabilities also
available to accommodate
medium to high volume PCB
board separation needs.
A The WAND PBC
Depaneling System
offers a solid Return
On Investment
compared to
other methods
of separation, by
providing no damage
to the board or its
delicate components.
B With a remarkable
cycle time of just 12
seconds, WAND has
become the leader in
the PCB depaneling
process industry.
C As always, safety
and quality are a
number one priority
for Larsen and the
TQM (Total Quality
Management) teams,
ensured through
careful production,
control checks, and

arsen knows how to bring
considerable benefit
and value by optimizing
design efficiencies early
in the design stages of
production, and considers
successful production to
begin with our engineering
experts getting involved
early and often with our
customers initial design
phase of a part or product.

Value Added, Value Engineering
(VAVE) is an innovative way to
reduce production and material
costs within the engineering of
a product or design. Larsen’s
Early Supplier Involvement
(ESI) allows us to understand
the common objectives,
deliverables, and requirements
of a customer’s project before
any design and/or developmental
resources have been
allocated. From there Larsen’s
expert engineers are able to
recommend manufacturing
processes (whether precision
metal stamping or metal
fabrication) that:
• Implement the latest design
techniques and features to
drive down material costs
embedded into the product
by reviewing: material type,
nesting, thickness, structural
ribs, forms, and gussets..
• Optimize tooling and lower
piece part costs through in-die
automation, material utilization,
and progressive tooling, all of
which can reduce and/or even
eliminate secondary operations
as well as labor.
• Eliminate hardware and
recommend alternative
fastening options, such as:
extrusions, rollovers, toggles,
and slots & tabs.
• Account for the product life
cycle to reduce up-front tooling
costs, as well as account for
precise dimensioning of a part,
its application considerations,
critical dimensions, and
features.
Larsen Manufacturing’s
comprehensive capabilities,
processes, and approach
to doing business provide
considerable value to our
customers. There are a wide
range of additional services that
we offer as part of an overall
solution that can improve the
production process and/or final
production of your product.
Additional Services
Larsen’s full-service capabilities
enable us to provide you with
a single-source alternative that
minimizes lead time and costs.
We do this through a variety of
secondary operations including:
• Automated Assembly Cell
Technology
• Tapping
• Riveting
• Spot Welding
• Component Insertion
• Grinding
• Machining
• Deburring
