Elite’s experienced SMT Assembly team focuses on semi-automated production of multi-layered Surface Mount Assemblies. At our SMT Manufacturing each piece of equipment is characterized by extreme accuracy, high throughput and maximum control.Apart from this our capabilities also include full manual production if required for through hole parts, complicated components, small lots or prototype productions.
Before component packages are programmed for assembly each and every part undergoes thorough inspection by ELITE’s Inward Quality department. Part numbers, tolerance, values, quantities and all other variables are checked against the Bill of Materials, supplier provided documentation and our own internal part database to ensure full compliance and conformity to all specifications required. After all parts have been received and verified package programming begins to ensure proper placement on the circuit board via Pick and Place machine assembly.
After all components have been programmed, solder paste is applied to each board on the Semi-Automatic Stencil Printer, This unit, built by ETA, is a production line workhorse. It is engineered for continuous high volume printing of a flawless product. Operation is performed with blades operated by pneumatic controls. Operations are performed by using the touch screen. Truly unparalleled in its consistency, this marvel of production experience is just the beginning of our assembly process.
Next, in our SMT line ,components are placed on the printed circuit board via the Pick and Place Machine. Elite’s assembly process features the Juki make JX-100LED. The JX- 100LED incorporates the most sophisticated software available for such a system. With JX- 100LED any combination of board types can be mounted in a single pass. This software even optimizes the assembly sequence. But that’s not all,With this unit you can get electrical verification of component placement “on the fly” ,vision alignment, and an advanced servo system for handling the most delicate and minute components. And with electronically encoded “smart” magazines, the system never needs to shut down. When one magazine runs out of components, the machine automatically picks from another.
At the end of our SMT line is ETA’s newest generation of reflow oven. This unit provides flexible and precise temperature control in a multizone ( 8 Zone) heating tunnel. Total forced convection is used to provide sharp and controllable temperature zones, thereby minimizing liquidous time. What’s more, it even accommodates the largest of boards in its width-adjustable conveyor. The ETA E8 supports computer controlled line speeds. Rapid response times and precise temperature controls assure our process uniformity regardless of component density or board loading. From this unit surface mount boards emerge at exactly the right temperature at exactly the right time.
Our highly skilled staff has the manual production capabilities to exceed your assembly requirements. Elite Technologies specializes in both SMT and Through Hole Hand Assembly. Whether for small lots, Prototypes or Mixed Technology PCB Assemblies our staff has the experience and reliability required to assemble and hand solder your Printed Circuit Boards.
Our Quality Assurance Technicians have the experience necessary to maximize inspection throughout the SMT Assembly Process. After each major step in the Assembly Process each PCB is inspected thoroughly “by more than two eyes” . Before Packaging each Assembly is once again rigorously checked for polarity, solder and according to IPC standards for Solder Joints. Our Visual inspection team use 4x magnifier for Visual inspection process
All PCB Assemblies are placed in anti-static packaging before delivery. All boards are given one last wash and touch up before they are tested, barcoded, serialized and photographed. An Inspection Report is attached to each shipment of finished Electronic Assemblies or Box Build Assemblies.
