| As electronic component packages become smaller with closer pitch leads it is necessary for a PCB assembly company such as First Choice Assembly to invest in the latest PCB assembly equipment to keep pace with these changes. At First Choice Assembly we have three Ipulse pick and place surface mount PCB assembly machines (made by Yamaha) capable of placing anything from 0402 to 50mm QFPs (quad flat packs) with a combined placement rate of 36,000 components per hour. Odd form components are easily placed using the machine’s upward vision camera. Due to the ease of set up these machines lend themselves to small prototype runs as well as mid volume surface mounted PCB assembly and production. For prototype runs we also have hand placement equipment that will accurately place loose parts down to 0603 upto 50mm QFPs. |

First Choice Assembly have vision alignment on the screen printer ensuring repeatable and accurate screen printing of solder paste or glue making fine pitch printing easier. If you already have a solder stencil we can accommodate the use of stencils from DEK 240 to 249. Once the printed circuit board is assembled we have AOI (automatic optical inspection) which is used to inspect solder integrity, component orientation and also can check component values. This is carried out on every PCB we supply. |
