Wenn Theorie und Praxis zu einem Return of Invest von unter sechs Monaten führen

Die Erstmusterprüfung ist ein fester Bestandteil in der Elektronikfertigung. Ein nicht entdeckter Fehler zu Beginn des Fertigungsprozesses potenziert sich meist über das gesamte Fertigungslos. Die Firma Mair Elektronik evaluierte mittels einer ausführlichen Marktanalyse das beste Inspektionssystem für Erstmuster. Das eindeutige Ergebnis führte zu einem signifikant verbesserten Prozessschritt mit hoher Akzeptanz der Mitarbeiter.

Eine der wichtigsten Methoden zur Qualitätssicherung in der Elektronikfertigung ist die sogenannte Erstmusterkontrolle. Dabei wird die erste gefertigte Leiterplatine manuell möglichst detailliert auf potentielle Fehler wie Fehlbestückungen oder Verpolungen überprüft. Jedes falsche Bauteil, das an dieser Stelle nicht entdeckt wird, zieht im weiteren Fertigungsverlauf hohe Kosten zur Korrektur nach sich. Allerdings ...

Smart inspection solution with greater inspection depth and time savings

appeared in the all-electronics on June 9th, 2020

EMS providers constantly face new dynamic customer requirements. With changing products, ever new component requirements and variable batch sizes, there are constantly growing demands on our own production processes. The quality of the manufactured products is ensured with a large number of controls. The following applies: The later an error is detected during assembly production, the greater the ...

Innovative concepts for the production of lot size 1

For EMS providers, time-efficient prototype production is a major challenge. In addition to the actual production, the import of the customer data, the comparison with the own component library and the overview of changes are time-consuming process steps. In terms of lot size, this preparation for prototypes takes up most of the time. This was significantly reduced by R & D Elektronik from Mönchengladbach using the EMS software "EFA SmartSuite".

EMS providers are constantly facing up to the high demands of their customers. In particular, high flexibility in production, cost-optimized production and high quality are among the basic properties. In addition, the customer product should be manufactured as quickly as possible from batch size 1. Long waiting times for the completion of a ...

Effective inspection solution for small series from batch size 1

For the visual inspection of small lots, ways beyond the AOI are required. As an effective method, augmented reality inspection has become established in combination with inspection of part numbers. In order to automate the handling costs incurred for the imaging, the company proServ electronic from Witten has implemented an intelligent inline solution.

Small batches pose very similar challenges to EMS providers, such as medium and large batches. The works in the run-up to production are almost identical. A considerable amount of time is spent on data preparation, production preparation and the programming and set-up of the production machines. If you consider the effort on a single circuit board, the time invested per printed circuit board produced is significantly greater for small batches than ...

Industry 4.0 requires smart solution concepts.

Electronics production is changing! Fast quote preparation, elaborate work preparation and short delivery times for ever smaller batches pose new challenges to the organization of quotation management, work preparation and production. With the "EFA SmartSuite" software solution, Fercad Elektronik from Wiehl has significantly optimized its processes and introduced augmented reality inspection.

The demands on EMS service providers are high! With the aim of customer satisfaction, customer ideas of the highest quality from batch size 1 should be implemented inexpensively and as quickly as possible with a high degree of flexibility. However, a considerable amount of time is required before the order is placed. The offer management has to process the customer data in such a way that a competitive offer can be created. If there is no order, this time ...

Automation of manual optical inspections in focus

During the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, the quality of the products is ensured by a variety of inspections. The goal is to detect deviations in the process as early as possible. Only in this way can high costs for rework, "serial errors" or even complaints be avoided. At the same time, tests are being carried out optically at the beginning of the production process. Many of these optical inspections are the responsibility of visual inspectors, who carry out the assessment of the assemblies manually. CCS Schweiz AG uses the inspection system EFA Inspection, which specifically supports the vision inspectors and thus ensures process reliability and time savings.

Nordhausen based EMS provider relies on innovative semi-AOI solution

The automation of optical inspection for small and medium batches poses a challenge for EMS service providers. Manual inspection processes are time-consuming, error-prone and offer only limited security. AOI solutions are not useful for optical inspection of small and medium series. On the other hand, time savings and test security are provided by semi-AOI solutions.
