THT Thriving in Specialized Music Industry

THT Thriving in the Pro-Audio Industry

NAMM Show 2017

NAMM THT Music Industry Odd-form automation machines PCB Boards

While in attendance at the 2017 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show last month we found one thing to be true… THT Equipment is far from dead. The music industry continues to require robust and durable components for high quality and heavy duty gear. GEAR, GEAR, GEAR! And the better the gear the more likely THT was involved in the assembly. Proving that THT is not just surviving but thriving in our high-tech world.

But there are many missing links! Many of these specialty components are still placed by hand and many more are still IMPORTED. Opportunities abound for manufacturers to bring all assembly, quality control, and profits back home. Quality is the name of the game when it comes to being #1 in any product category but costs sometimes hold back some manufacturers. According to Joel Menchey, Menchey Music Service, import costs for audio manufacturers are the highest of all costs. This doesn’t have to be so.

We at Southern Machinery have the solutions to lower costs and improve your manufacturing assembly quality! Our S-600-OF Through-hole & Surface Mounting Multifunction Machine paves the way to incorporate THT with SMT technologies. We can help you design the exact machine for your needs, ordered to spec. It’s a simple conversation for a huge shift in ideology and savings.

Ensuring the Best Design for Final PCB Production Stage with Testing! Ensuring the Best Design for Final PCB Production Stage with Testing!

Avoiding Design Mistakes with Testing

Improve EMS Productivity by Testing Early

http://www.smthelp.net/product/high-speed-in-line-circuit-board-test-machine/

PC Board errors are a drain to EMS productivity. Through analysis and testing PCBs in the pilot stages, a smoother and more educated production set-up can be achieved. By performing automatic impedance measurements and testing of components (chip resistors and capacitors) early on, you can ensure the best design for production.

We recommend applying the best design logics when creating your PCB layout and Test, Test, Test for maximum efficiency and output. According to Circuits Assembly’s December 2016 Magazine, here is the list of 5 Most Common PCB Design Mistakes: “1. The components do not suit the production technology 2. Thermal imbalance 3. Incompatibility between fabrication and assembly technology 4. Component placement at PCB edge 5. Placing fiducials on the PCB’s edge.”

Once you have planned your PC Board with best practices, Southern Machinery’s High-Speed In-line Circuit Board Test Machine will help with testing by incorporating a visual inspection function which allows mounting status checks on each component (e.g.: typo descriptions in alphanumeric characters, orientation, size) on the operator’s monitor will serve to best analyze testing up close. As well as automatically generating test data from mounting data and component list.

PEC Camera Polarizing Components

The PEC camera consists of two elements: a rotating polarizer that covers four of the eight illumination petals and a sliding polarizer. The sliding polarizer is located in the camera aperture. The axis of this polarizer, frequently referred to as the “analyzer”, is orthogonal to that of the rotating polarizer. The combination of these polarizers on the module results in cross-polarized illumination.


(Typical PEC Camera shown)

The rotating polarizer ensures that the substrate is illuminated with linear polarized light. The metal features and ceramic background reflect polarized light differently. The light reflected from the metal has no net change in polarization. Because the orientation of the sliding polarizer located in the camera aperture is orthogonal to that of the rotating polarizer, most of the light reflected from metal features is blocked. Therefore, metal features appear dark on the camera.

In contrast, the ceramic surrounding the metal features randomizes the polarization upon reflection. Because the polarization is randomized, a portion of the reflected light can pass through the central polarizer and reach the camera. Therefore, the ceramic background appears as a shade of gray.

The following table summarizes the polarization effects on metals and ceramics:

Material

Incident Polarization

Reflected Polarization

Central Polarizer Orientation

Polarized Lighting Zones

The PEC Lighting Assembly has two lighting zones. Which zones are used for imaging depends on the type of substrate being imaged. The two lighting zones are shown in the table below.

Zone I

Blue

Zone II

Red

Petal Zones I and II each contain four illumination petals positioned at 90 degrees to each other. The illustration below shows how the Red (R) and Blue (B) LEDs are oriented.


Selectable Polarizer Positions

The PEC Lighting Assembly is equipped with a rotating polarizing filter and high intensity LEDs. The PEC camera has a polarizing film mounted within a rotating ring and a second polarizer mounted on a slide above the lighting module. Certain classes of flexible circuits image well with cross-polarized illumination. For the polarized option, it is recommended that the central polarizer be left in place.

  • The blue lighting zone of the PEC Lighting Assembly is designed to image flexible circuits.
  • The red lighting zone of the PEC Lighting Assembly is designed to image ceramic circuits.

The following table summarizes the available Polarized lighting options:

Lighting Zone

Graphic

Function

Zone I

Orienting the rotating polarizer above the blue LEDs allows non-polarized illumination from the Red LEDs. This lighting type is effective on dark-colored ceramics.

Zone II

Orienting the rotating polarizer located above the red LEDs allows polarized illumination from the Red LEDs. This lighting type is effective on white or light-colored ceramics.

50% PCBA cost saving for your current AI SMT spare parts purchasing ;

After the PCB is completed, the electric elements ought to be attached in order that a functional PCB assembly is formed. There are two construction processes which can be utilized to be able to type the PCB assembly. One could be the through-hole building in which the component leads are inserted within the holes although the other one may be the surface-mount building wherein the components are situated on pads positioned around the external surfaces on the PCB. Each sorts of construction have element leads that are fixed mechanically also as electrically towards the board through a metal solder which has melted.

Additionally, you’ll find a variety of soldering solutions to become utilized as a way to connect the PCB elements to ensure that PCB assembly could be achievable.

Production that is definitely of higher volume have to be carried out by means of machine placement and bulk wave sort of soldering. Having said that, expert technicians possess the capability to solder incredibly minute parts by the hand beneath a microscope. This is typically completed together with the use of tweezers and a soldering iron with a fine tip which is made for compact volume prototypes. Yet, there are parts that are impossible to solder together with the hands just like the ball grid array.

Visit PCB auto to know more about

PCB’s which would make up the PCB assembly have conformal coating that is certainly applied by way of dipping or spraying once the elements are carried out soldering. This coat will generally protect against corrosion plus the leaking of present or achievable shorting because of condensation. PCB assembly is static sensitive, thereby; it should be placed inside antistatic bags although it can be becoming transported. Improper techniques in handling could transmit static charge by way of the board and because of this may well damage the elements.

What is First Article Inspection

First Article Inspection overview

Before the manufacturing course begins, business necessities require an in depth verification and comparability of product design vs. manufacturing outcomes, often called First Article Inspection (FAI). Frequently used within the aerospace, medical electronics and automotive industries, FAI studies have gotten an ordinary course of to make sure high quality and consistency of the ultimate product is in order. Although conducting FAI could be advanced, technological developments and person pleasant software programs have allowed customers to implement and execute this course of shortly and precisely.

What is First Article Inspection?

As an official authentication technique for production, FAI intention is to overview and authorize dimensional studies. FAI stories make the most of dimensional properties of a manufacturing like design specs, to make sure of consistency or uncover any deviations. This inspection ensures reliability and repeatability of the manufacturing course, in addition to making certain the producer’s capability to provide elements in accordance with specifications.

 What is First Article Inspection

 

 

What is the aim of FAI?

The goal of a FAI report outlined below:

  1. The FAI report supplies a tenet for goal affirmation that every engineering design and specification is appropriately understood, accounted for, verified and documented.
  2. Ensure the manufacturing course of action is dependable, repeatable and constant
  3. Develops a transparent understanding and communication outlet between purchaser and provider.
  4. Verify the accuracy of drawings, making certain that each adjustments made to any part of the designs are accounted for.
  5. Validate all tooling used for production, guaranteeing the instruments’ capabilities to supply all required elements at defined and accepted speed.
  6. Ensure manufacturing course is succesful and might meets the entiretly of all manufacturing needs.

When is FAI report crucial?

FAI studies are crucial when any of the following occur:

  • A change in design which may probably have an effect on match, kind or operation
  • A change in manufacturing supply, course of action, inspection technique, location of producer, tooling or supplies
  • A change to a special media program that will likely have an effect on match, kind or performance
  • Production has not been executed for 2 years or more (or as specified by buyer)

FAI Benefits

Before proceeding with manufacturing elements, FAI studies will be helpful in figuring out whether or not a production course of action is able to deliver elements constantly within design parameters. Furthermore, FAI studies present construction between buyer and provider for understanding and verifying the final mission necessities. FAI additionally assists buyer and provider with communications and help to avoid future miscommunication. This course of action additionally ensures that you will be using the precise supplies and instruments, offering an efficient initiative for the anticipated outcomes for manufacturing.

Full FAI vs. Partial FAI

A full FAI requires that each field has been accounted for.  With a partial FAI report, any subject missed will affect the FAI sucess. In regards to any excellent fields, they might be crammed out at a later date or utilizing earlier knowledge, on condition that it applies to the precise traits of duplicate elements produced by the identical manufacturing course of action.

FAI Planning

Before the primary manufacturing beings to run elements, many components have to be accounted for with the intention to execute FAI planning, which generally embrace the following:

Records for the manufacturing course of action– manage actions to be executed all through FAI course of and accountable suppliers/organizations.
