Electronic Assembly
This is the area of the factory where the electronic components are soldered onto the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), this is done by 2 robotic machines in this department that place and solder all the components on the PCBs. The components are installed by a pick a place process that also uses an adhesive to temporarily attach the components to the PCB, after this the PCB go through continous flow solder process in which a river of molten solder touches the bottom of the PCB and permanently attaches the components.
When the PCBs are finished they are taken to the "Temporary Parts Storage Area," from here they go to the "Product Assembly"
Although actual inspection of the finished PCBs is not perfomed in this area there are still some issues that each Robot can encounter during a shift, these issues include.
Supply Replenishment
Solder Temperature Callibration
Parts Jammed in Equipment
Robot Breakdown
Performance records for each Robot are kept for each shift problems are logged as well as units produced by each Robot during the shift.
