Why Work with Us for SMT Assembly?
SMT PCB Assembly
At Bester, we specialize in providing top-notch SMT PCB Assembly services to meet all your electronic manufacturing needs. SMT, which stands for Surface Mount Technology, is a modern and efficient method of assembling printed circuit boards (PCBs). With SMT PCB Assembly, electronic components are mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB, allowing for smaller and more compact designs. Our team of highly skilled technicians and engineers utilize state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge techniques to ensure precise and reliable assembly of your PCBs. From prototype to full-scale production, we are committed to delivering exceptional quality and efficiency in every project. With our SMT PCB Assembly service, you can expect superior craftsmanship, quick turnaround times, and cost-effective solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Trust Bester for all your SMT PCB Assembly needs and experience the difference that our expertise can make in your electronic manufacturing processes.
PCB Assembly Process
One of the most important factors in the overall efficiency of each PCB assembly project is the client’s understanding of our process. The number of steps involved in the PCB assembly process depends upon the specific nature of the project in question, as illustrated below, and each of these steps is explained briefly in the following sections.
DFM Check
DFM checks our client’s PCB design and looks for issues that may influence the final product negatively, such including missing, redundant or potentially problematic features. And the consistency across different design documents like BoM and Gerbers.
IQC
Inspect all incoming materials and handle quality problems before the SMT assembly process. Bester IQC and procurement team will check for model numbers, shape, sample test, etc to ensure all parts used are of the highest quality.
Solder Paste Printing
Solder paste printing is the actual first step in PCB assembly manufacturing process that can apply solder paste to the appropriate, necessary areas on the PCB using stencil and squeegees.
SMD Components assembly
Pick and Place SMD components to the programmed location at high speed using automated Pick&Place machines after solder paste is correctly applied to bare PCBs.
Reflow Soldering
After SMD components are placed on the boards, they are sent through reflow machines to have the solder paste to reflow, attach components and create permanent solder joints.
THT Components Assembly
Pick and Place THT components to the programmed location at high speed using automated Pick&Place machines for the wave soldering process.
wave soldering
Wave soldering is a method of PCB Assembly that involves sending boards on a conveyor through a wave of molten solder that is used to attach through-hole components to the boards.
AOI & X-ray
Inspect and verify that no mistakes have been made and that all parts have been correctly placed using automated optical inspection(AOI) and X-Ray technology and machines.
Final inspection & repairing
The final inspections include visual inspection by our quality assurance team and post AOI inspection for flaws and functions. It’s also known as functional test.
QC / packaging
All assembled boards are packaged per clients’ request in anti-static packaging and be prepared for shipping under our QC team.
