You probably have contact with Gerber files every day, but how much do you know about the man who developed that file format, H. Joseph Gerber? All About Circuits shares his fascinating story https://bit.ly/3YvI8R4. An inventor in various fields, Gerber’s work for the textile industry led to creating the file format that became the industry standard for electronics manufacturing. Be inspired. Always keep pushing forward. As you do, be sure to choose like-minded, forward-thinking partners—like the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢. Give us a call when you’re ready to bring a new concept to life or move from prototype to production. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #engineering #manufacturing

We’ve seen manual welding processes become automated or robotic, in a vast range of industrial applications. Now, senior capstone engineering students and faculty at The Ohio State University are teaming up with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to take robotic laser welding into space https://bit.ly/3Uq48vo 🚀 Your new project may not be heading into space just yet, but the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 can help you launch it successfully. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing

Midwestern universities are advancing tech in many disciplines. It's all part of the Silicon Prairie or Silicon Heartland. At Missouri S&T Electrical and Computer Engineering research on how turbulence behaves at high speeds https://bit.ly/48d5GOV will be applied to studying how to make hypersonic vehicles more effective. Where there are combustion engines requiring sensitive fuel mixtures, there are PCBs involved ❤️ in controls and operations. There’s never a dull moment in custom PCB manufacturing as new products and advances in technology create new opportunities for the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 to contribute to the development and production stages. Got new tech to apply? Give us a call. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing

What's the difference? I mean, really? 2D/3D? Does it matter? I guess you can be the judge. I have posted some pictures before from a semi-local shop that takes 2D x-ray images for us. David Kruidhof looked at those and said "Oh that's cute" He wasn't actually disparaging my images or the local shop we take them too, but when you see the images he's used to looking at, I would accept disdain even. Wow the color, clarity, and detail you can have within an image is mind-blowing! If you have someone like Jonathan Chuck, EIT or Vineeth Bastin at the helm to slice them apart and dive inside, it's incredible what you can see inside a component, board, and/or solder joint. The increasing miniaturization in high density boards along with the rise in BGAs,QFN/DFN, and other bottom terminated components drives demand for a system like the ones I saw at Comet Yxlon. I would be like a kid on Christmas could we ever get a system like the one that created these images. It's honestly not that far off and if we could get a little more business that demands one we have some great options to choose from. That's one of the things that has been really exciting about working here at Aurora Boardworks. We are not stagnant but instead are interested in constant growth and learning. Are there better technologies out there? Better methods? What are industry standards? We've been getting involved with the IPC, Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA), Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA) and looking at further partnerships with industry associations that are as dedicated to strengthening the PCB supply chain as we are. I've also been getting to go to trade shows like APEX, IMTS, and SMTAI coming up here. One of my favorite things is getting to network with other people who understand what I do on the daily. I am sure if you have made it this far into this post you know exactly what it's like to try and describe what you do to other people and get that far away look in response! If you have boards that you need assembled but require x-ray, let me know! I have been looking for the excuse to justify one. Thanks for the images David, they are awesome!

Get to know the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 – meet Emiyancil Torres-Rivera! Emiyancil has been with Aurora Boardworks for over a year as an Assembler and Solder Tech. She says that with the help of a staffing agent she and the industry found each other–and she’s happy they did. Emiyancil says that Aurora Boardworks cares about customers and takes care of their employees. She enjoys working with her co-workers and as part of a team, but best of all, she likes the challenge and says, “𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚕𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗.” #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #engineering #manufacturing

When it comes to PCB assembly, any of these give you a headache? ✓ Complex board design that includes both surface mount and through-hole elements ✓ More components than you can count that need to be installed on each board ✓ New designs but no trusted partner to help you get them into production ✓ Aging designs but no in-house electrical engineering team to help you update them The 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢's got the relief you need! 💊💊 Learn more here https://bit.ly/3Yoln2x and then let us get to work for you! #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing

Are you counting down the days to Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) International Conference & Expo? We are too—and we can’t wait to see you there! It’s the best place to immerse yourself in learning experiences—from Technical Tracks to Professional Development Courses to the Exhibit Hall. Stop by the Aurora Boardworks booth #2653 and say HELLO to the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢! 👋🏻 Then say GOODBYE to complicated PCB assembly. ❤️ #smt #pcb #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #pcbdesign #engineering #manufacturing

One of the great things about being a custom PCB manufacturer is that the PCB assemblies we build find their way into products and processes that affect life all around us. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Hardy Process Solutions, one of our customers, produces precision instrumentation and sensors for weighing systems used in batching, filling, and inventory management across a range of industries from food and beverage to mining and metals. When PCBs are at the ❤️ of your current or future products, the 𝘼-𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 is the partner you’ve been looking for, to uncomplicate your PCB design and assembly. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing

Ever wonder what happens to the young people who participate in the robotics clubs your company sponsors? Where does life take them, and how are other lives touched? As a high schooler, Ben Johnson learned to solder at Aurora Boardworks as a participant on a robotics team we sponsored. Fast forward to today, and Ben is the Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Grain Weevil, creator of a grain bin management robot—and an Aurora Boardworks customer. A sweet reminder that you’re building the future when you share skills, inspire, and train up the next generations. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing #education #STEM

Aurora Boardworks proudly sponsors the Hampton Public School Robotics team!🤖 Hampton School has 10 members from grades 4th to 8th grade that explore robotics by building from a kit. Huge thanks to Isaias & Geoff who volunteer 1-2 days a week to help the students explore the field of robotics. #pcbassembly #pcbmanufacturing #robotics #engineering #manufacturing #education #STEM
