The next piece of equipment we want to talk to you about is XT V 160 - X-Ray Machine‼️ We use this X-ray machine to check the solder quality of components, primarily BGAs, where you cannot see the solder joints under a microscope. The board is inspected using an X-ray machine to ensure the solder of components is of the highest quality and to verify that they are all in the right place and that solder quality is satisfactory. Anything missing will be easily found by AOI inspection. This process helps us identify potential complications, and should that occur, the printed circuit board is passed onto the solderer to be reworked. The reason we sample inspect PCBs, especially with BGAs components, is because they are very difficult to rework. Therefore, it is imperative to find those gaps immediately. #xray #inspection #pcba #ems #bedford #uk

Take a closer look at our SMT line! A bare circuit board is first placed in the screen printer, which lays solder paste down through a stencil. Then the circuit board goes to the pick-and-place machine, which places the components onto the circuit board. Next, the board goes through the reflow oven to secure the components in place. Finally, each circuit board is placed in the AOI (automated optical inspection) machine to make sure the correct components are on the board in the correct spot. The result is a finished circuit board that gets assembled into one of our lighting products! #DiodeDynamics #TheDiodeDifference

We're back with the article about Precision Measuring Instruments to use in Hardware Product Development! This piece will cover: 1. How the selection of a precision tool can impact your hardware development expenses and corporate image, drawing lessons from the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor case. 2. Exploring alternatives to manual precision instruments. 3. The merits and drawbacks of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and 3D scanners. 4. A glimpse into the equipment EnCata employs in their hardware development processes. https://lnkd.in/eFbyMppJ A special line for tags: #Faro #3DScanner #CMM #FaroCMM #CoordinateMeasuringMachines #MeasuringTools #MeasuringInstruments #ProductDevelopment #NewProductDevelopment

Importance of Fiducial mark in PCB. Fiducial marks play a crucial role in SMT for several reasons: 🔹Reference Points: Fiducial marks act as reference points for the pick & place and Screen Printer machine's vision system. They provide a known and fixed location on the PCB, aiding in precise component placement during the assembly process. 🔹Alignment and Orientation: Fiducials help in aligning and orienting the PCB accurately. The machine uses these markers to determine the board's position, rotation, and scale, ensuring that components are placed with high precision. 🔹Compensation for PCB Variations: PCBs may have slight variations in dimensions or placement on the production line. Fiducials allow the pick & place machine to adapt and compensate for these variations, maintaining accuracy in component placement. 🔹Enhanced Accuracy and Yield: Proper fiducial use contributes to overall process accuracy. This, in turn, improves the yield by reducing errors and ensuring that components are correctly placed on the PCB, reducing the likelihood of defects. 🔹Automated Inspection: Fiducial marks are often used in AOI & SPI systems. These systems use fiducials to verify the correct assembly of components on the PCB by comparing the actual positions against the expected positions based on fiducial information. In summary, fiducial marks in SMT are essential for ensuring accurate and consistent component placement, improving production yield, and facilitating automated inspection processes. #SMTEngineering #PCBAssembly #SurfaceMountTechnology #SMTProcess #ElectronicsManufacturing #SMTAssembly #smt #ems

Automated Optical Inspection is an automated visual inspection methodology used primarily to test for defects in printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). Automated Optical Inspection autonomously scans PCBAs with cameras and detects two types of failures:  1. catastrophic failures, such as missing components,  2. quality failures, such as misshapen fillet or components that are skewed.
