We've been using lasers to mark barcodes on our boards for some time now. We use a CO2 laser to burn through the solder mask on most of our boards. The machine is enclosed so the operators aren't exposed to the laser. The laser is also mounted on

Our people have EXCELLENT reading skills, and for some stuff I do have a list of the order to assemble the parts, with some tricks, etc. called out. But, a color-coded assembly drawing is what we use the most. I use Sharpie markers to color-code th

Full disclosure; I represent ASYS in the southeastern US. Depending on PCB size and mark requirements you can get a laser marker for under $100,000. It can be set up as an island to mark batches of PCB prior to them going to the assembly line. ASYS a

Yourself , well you can test whatever attributes the devices should have to see if they align with the specification. You can inspect the packaging and markings to see that they match those of the manufacturer. You can also check if the parts have va
