SMT Error Proofing Material System, SMT First Article Tester, SMT Material Feeding Machine, dedicated to SMT quality control.QualityBrand foundation, quality reflects character.QualityMarket assurance, quality is the foundation of a company, the creation of a brand
InSMTDuring the production process, we typically perform a check on the actual values of components on the first PCBA board produced and then again every two hours or at shift changes, to verify they match the list orBOMAccurate to drawings to prevent wrong materials, this is also the norm for eachSMTA necessary production process; if there are many components and production lines, and frequent line changes, this process will require a lot of time and labor.
Traditional methods: The two individuals first agreeBOMPrepare detailed drawings (it takes a considerable amount of time and must be error-free, as manual errors are inevitable with too many components), then, according to the drawings, one person uses tweezers to pick each component and place it into a capacitance meter, multimeter, or Wheatstone bridge to test the actual value for accuracy, after which another person...BOMMark the location with a highlighter and check it off; this requires two skilled employees and a longer duration of time.PCBThe more components, the longer the testing time, and there's a higher risk of errors, missed tests, or inaccurate measurements. Without a basis for traceability, reliability is low. Hence, the birth of the SMT first piece testing, which combines software, optical scanning images, and LCR to automatically confirm errors and omissions. This has improved quality while cutting labor costs in half and time by three-quarters, allowing production lines to start early or smoothly, and enhancing production efficiency.
Traditional SMT first piece inspection methods are not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also lack control throughout the process, ensuring poor quality.
Professional R&D and manufacturing:SMT First Article TesterBy integrating CAD coordinates, BOM lists, and first article PCB scan images, the system automatically inputs measurement data, prohibiting manual data entry to eliminate human errors and omissions. This streamlines the first article inspection on the SMT production line, boosting inspection efficiency by 80%.
