I haven't had the luxury of machine based pth assembly in quite a while, but when I did, given that the machines control which parts are inserted (and to a lesser degree where they are inserted) we decided not to perform inspection on that part of th

There are various software programs out there to aid in the creation of visual aids for manual assy. and other steps in the process. We currently use Circuitcam (Aegis). It helps us create color coded (by part number) visual aids for the whole proc

In that case the same tools can apply, just different implementation. We might use any a number of visual aids for an assembly, one for each component type (resisors, capacitors, ICs, etc.). In the case you're describing we might color code the lo

Amazing in today's technology that people still bake because "that's the way we've alawys done it". Baking is a band aid for poor manufacturing of the PCB. Moisture can become trapped between the layers during buildup. This moisture when it contacts

Counting leads to attach jumper wires, especially on large, fine pitch quads can be quite a challenge. Is anyone aware of any kinds of assembly aids that would assist in this process? I was thinking of inspection templates with the particular lead(s)

If an OEM and room is available on the PCB....have pin location aids silk screened on the boards. Groups of 10 are typical. might look like 1.........10.........20.........30 continue this around the device. Otherwise, ???

We are considering purchasing a 3D printer for fixture/assembly aid creation and probably some other uses we never even thought of. Anyone have any experience or thoughts they'd like to share?

In my experience the main advantage of the ASCII CAD format is that it combines the centroid data, rotations, and package information for your CAM software (at least it does for what we use) to draw the part shapes into the visual assembly aids. If

Generally, a well-designed assembly should not require man-handling of the PCB to the point where it is deflecting like this. Is the housing too small? What kind of clearance do you have and is there anything you can do to alleviate the issue (clos
