EI Microcircuits Leverages ECD’s Suite of Measurement Technologies to Ensure Robust Thermal Processes

High-mix, medium-volume contract manufacturer, EI Microcircuits specializes in high-quality design, engineering and production of PCBs used in the industrial controls, medical and government sectors.   With diverse and multiple jobs running throughout the Southern Minnesota-based EMS firm’s three facilities, ensuring tight reflow soldering processes is critical to high-yield and cost-effective manufacturing.  For this important assembly process, EI Microcircuits relies on ECD’s M.O.L.E.® thermal profiling and OvenRIDER® technologies.

“Our M.O.L.E. thermal profilers and OvenRIDERs are easy to use and keep our process in control,” explains EI Microcircuits’ Manufacturing Engineer, William Kramlinger, who notes that the company has relied on ECD’s thermal measurement tools for nearly two decades.  “Operators, technicians and engineers use these systems daily and they have allowed us to be faster with new product introductions and verification of in-spec systems to avoid unnecessary changeovers, which cost time and money.”
