Home » Manufacturing » Electronic Assembly » What is Electronic Assembly?If you are not familiar with electronic assembly, electronic assembly consists of assembling electronic boards and chassis. This also may involve wiring and cabling. As a factory, you may need to assemble circuit boards under strict guidelines, established by many government agencies. You will need certain types of equipment, including soldering machines, hole drillers, board makers, and you will be required to test all finished products for defects by using equipment such as volt-ohm meters, oscilloscopes, line voltage testers, signal generators, and more.
As an electronics manufacturing facility you are mainly concerned with the production of electronic assembly and any parts thereof. You will have to be sure your equipment is set up for mass production on a daily basis. This means having the type of equipment that can handle the load. In factories today, machines are set up to do all work automatically. Machines drill the holes and put solder on boards. Operators are there just to monitor the machines to make sure nothing goes wrong in the process. After the machine spits out so many boards in a stack, testers take that stack and hook it up to a machine for testing. If the machine test positive, the board is shipped out. If it is defective, the tester logs the problem with the board, and throws the board in a bad board basket or box, where it is taken to the prefabrication room to be recycled to make another board.
