The value of consolidated data preparation

Posted May 15, 2012, by Mark Laing

A lot of engineers take advantage of the software capability that is delivered with the various types of assembly, test and inspection equipment. However, there is a false economy here as these software applications are optimized for that machine, meaning they typically have very good support for programming the machine but do a less than ideal job of handling the challenges of different CAD/CAM/BOM … Read More

To DFT or not DFT? That is not a question

Posted Sep 24, 2011, by Mark Laing

Another area I discussed in my recent article for PCB007 was with Design For Test or DFT. Ensuring that accurate test or inspection techniques have been catered for before a layout is signed off will ensure that any assembly or component issues will be found as early as possible in the manufacturing process. For each additional step during the manufacturing process it is estimated that the cost of corrective … Read More
