Introduction to Our Assembly Approach
We take a systematic approach to PCB assembly, emphasizing accuracy, efficiency, and traceability at every stage. Whether you need a small prototype run or large-scale production, our team is equipped to meet your exact specifications while maintaining short lead times and competitive pricing.
Step 1: Material Procurement
Our process begins with careful sourcing of all components and bare PCBs.
Trusted Suppliers: We collaborate with reliable vendors to ensure part authenticity and availability.
Quality Checks: Incoming materials are inspected and verified to catch any issues before they reach the production floor.
By focusing on top-quality materials, we minimize the risk of production delays or subpar end products.
Step 2: Solder Paste Application and Inspection
Proper solder paste application is crucial for forming strong, dependable solder joints.
Stencil Printing: We use precision stencils to apply solder paste accurately.
Solder Paste Inspection (SPI): Automated systems confirm that the deposit volume and alignment match specified tolerances, reducing the chance of defects later on.
Step 3: SMT (Surface Mount Technology) Assembly
Surface Mount Technology allows us to place components quickly and accurately:
Pick-and-Place Machines: These high-speed devices position each component on the board with pinpoint accuracy.
Reflow Soldering: Once placed, the boards move through a temperature-controlled oven where solder paste melts and cools, securing components to the PCB.
At this stage, consistency is key—our equipment and fine-tuned profiles produce reliable solder joints for each board.
Step 4: THT (Through-Hole Technology) Assembly
For boards requiring through-hole components, we offer both automated and manual assembly methods:
Wave Soldering: Ideal for mass production, wave soldering bonds leads to the PCB quickly and efficiently.
Selective Soldering or Manual Insertion: Used for sensitive or unique components that demand precise care.
In either case, we ensure each lead is properly aligned and soldered, maintaining strong mechanical and electrical connections.
Step 5: Inspection and Testing
We employ multiple inspection methods to confirm quality and functionality:
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI): Verifies component placement, polarity, and solder joints through high-resolution cameras.
X-Ray Inspection: Offers a closer look at hidden joints, like those under BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays).
Functional Testing: Confirms that each assembled PCB meets the intended performance criteria by simulating real-world conditions.
This layered approach to testing minimizes the chance of hidden flaws and guarantees consistent output.
Step 6: Quality Assurance and Final Checks
Before we ship any product, our quality team performs a final evaluation:
IPC-A-610 Compliance: Each assembly is checked against industry standards for workmanship and reliability.
Documentation and Traceability: We maintain detailed records, giving you peace of mind and a clear audit trail.
By the time the boards leave our facility, we have full confidence in their performance and quality.
