SERVICES & EQUIPMENT

Storage Department

Electronic components are properly coded and placed in locations having appropriate anti-static characteristics. The warehouse is divided into coded areas. Customized corners can be reserved for each single Client, if components are given as contract work by this latter. All the items (stored materials, components to work and similar) are managed by a central information system.

All MSD components are properly vacuum-sealed and controlled until the assembly phase.

Smt Department

5 assembling lines that allow to assemble all types of passive and active components, through automatic processes of screen printing, assembly, new fusion in inert atmosphere or polymerization.

AOI for automatic optical control

Automatic visual inspection for optical control of medium and big-size batches.

Pick and Place ASM

Two ASM Pick and Place with smart feeder allow a quicker production that is easily adjustable to match the widest requests. Siplace SX of ASM is the first machine with full gantry modularity technology. This eliminates the expensive reconfigurations of the old SMT lines, increases speediness during components assembly and improves operation quality. In the meanwhile, the two machines replaced were moved to a smaller line that is destined to small series and prototypes. Thus, productivity is enhanced and today, like for the other lines, a full tracking of each component becomes possible.

With three assembly lines equipped with the best ASM machines, we can assemble both high miniaturization components and big BGA and connectors “pin in paste” (THR), with a capacity of over 120 million components per year, and growing more and more.

Welding Department

Vacuum Vapor Phase welding

The “Vapor Phase” or “ Steam Condensation ” welding technology uses for the board heating process, the thermal energy emitted by the change of state of a fluid inert (GaldenTM LS / HS) which creates a “vapor zone”, where the assembled board, after a preheating phase, stays for the foreseen time, to be welded in extremely uniform conditions.

The thermal transfer between the steam and the assembled board occurs during the condensation phase, which remains until the temperature of the steam itself is reached on the surface of the board.

The association of the Vapor Phase welding process with the “Chamber Vacuum” concept favors the reliability of the product, with a reduction in voids and therefore greater mechanical reliability for the BGA components and greater heat transfer for the power components.

Since the vapor temperature is directly correlated to the boiling temperature of the inert fluid, the operating conditions in which the printed circuits and electronic components are managed is that of maximum control and safety, precisely because the maximum operating temperature is defined by the principles physical related to the type of fluid used.

The result is a welding process without oxidation, with thermal transfer significantly superior to convection or radiation ovens and an irrelevant thermal differential between components of different sizes.

Wave welding

• 1 double wave welder with RoHS alloy, equipped with spray fluxing systems and welding in an inert environment (nitrogen).
• 1 double wave welder for welding of products still assembled with Tin / Lead technology

& nbsp;

Selective welding in an inert atmosphere

• 2 ERSA VERSA FLOW selective welding lines 3/45 including automatic loading and unloading modules, equipped with multiple wells, for Lead-Free and Tin / Lead alloys. prepared with a lower and upper preheating system to maintain the temperature during the welding phase and one of the two can manage “miniwave” welding.

All MSD components are properly sealed under vacuum and monitored until the assembly phase.

AOI for automatic optical control

The Automatic Optical Inspection temporally follows the SMT assembly process of the boards, of which it intends to verify the absolute integrity of any assembly or welding defects. By preceding the electrical test and any functional testing, the AOI allows you to preliminarily identify possible defects that affect the functionality of the assembled board.
The Saki BF-3Di system allows the assembled boards to be inspected at “high speed”, providing the repairer with an objective analysis of the assembly quality of an electronic board: in fact, the implementation of 3D technology has revolutionized the way to analyze the PCBA, reducing the false error calls and the subjectivity of the operator in the analysis, since images are not evaluated by comparison, but a real measurement is provided in the three spatial dimensions.

X-ray Inspection

Given the increasing complexity of electronic boards, with BGA, QFN or LGA, in which the connections by brazing are no longer visible by microscope inspection and where the classic AOI inspection proves insufficient, it is indispensable X-ray inspection to verify the welding compliance of the products.
The advantage of X-rays is to be able to carry out a non-destructive inspection thanks to the emission of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation consisting of photons.
In the image, the dense elements absorb photons and appear in black, the less dense elements are instead crossed by photons and appear more transparent.

Washing Department

Upon specific request by the Client or if this is necessary to eliminate any flux residues from the board, the following items are available:

• A new washing system PBT Works is highly performant and eliminates all the unwanted contaminations that are present in the electronic production and in micro-mechanical processes. The elimination of resin and flux residues avoids corrosion that can lead to dispersion and short-circuits over time. A proper cleaning with a perfect washing process improves significantly the insulation resistance of the surface (SIR) – this is an important factor to increase reliability of electronics in difficult environments.
• 1 washing line composed of one washing machine (water) with drying oven and controlled temperature
• 1 washing machine MIELE IR 6002 (water+Vigon) to wash water-insoluble fluxes and then to dry the products with no additional handling of the boards (passage to oven).
