Inside a PCB Soldering Factory - in China

Ғылым және технология

Today we're taking an in-depth factory tour of the PCBWay (pcbway.com/strangeparts) PCB assembly factory in Shenzhen, China, to see how the professionals solder circuit boards, step-by-step. Are you an electronics geek or a DIY enthusiast that loves soldering projects that's always wondered how the big factories solder PCBs with pick and place machines and reflow ovens? Today we're going to see how it's made!

    Supper excited that Scotty came to our factory to shoot such a detailed and informative video, which not only can satisfy people's curiosity about PCB assembly process, but is also very entertaining to watch. It owes to the earnest working attitude and unique sense of humor of Strangeparts. Really enjoy watching it, as an audience. Thank you Scotty for making this video and thank you all the PCBWayers for sharing your love here :)

    What might surprise you, then, is that automated circuit board assembly was in wide use in the 1970s, and was already surprisingly fast. There were experiments in fully-automated circuit production in the 1940s! Industrial automation goes back much farther than many people realize.

    Ive been a HW Design Engineer since 1982, very different back then. This video is spot on. Watch for nostalgia reasons. It truly is amazing the mfg process of getting such tiny components or 1000 pin BGA's soldered correctly to the board. A near miracle that its done and repeated with 100% accuracy thousands fo times. As far as the people who do hand assembly, they are equally impressive. Soldering tiny little pins spaced a few thousands of an inch from each other and doing fast and accurately is an amazing talent. Where will we be 10 or 20 more years from now, we will be looking at this being and "old time" process.

My friend knew him sometime back. But I don't know if he's made himself a part of Hollywood yet so you can still try contacting him to see if he's available. I think IMHO that even with 12 to 24 vids a year, you could still use Patreon , because its more than Quantity of Content, but more of Content Quality. And from what I've seen, you do a pretty good job currently ❤👍👍👍 And you've got quite a few YT subscribers too 👍 What I'm really trying to say is that No one needs to feel " strange " about using Patreon By the way I don't work for them Have A Great Week Scotty ❤

Figuring out how to do things single handedly, but mostly like how the big companies do but do them with huge machines for huge numbers. Going nuts with even making a small flex pcb to put a microphone jack back into an iphone that doesn't have one. Making custom cases. And how the big boys do it. Machines, techniques. But also showing that it is hard to do it right. The 'bumps and bruises', user error, and so on. What you can do an 'unsanctioned' way. All of it.

    It mainly happens when your fixture inside your pick and place machine is loose, or the stand offs (board supports) aren’t adjusted correctly. Causing the components to bounce during placement. Mostly what happens is if the component is not equally anchored on both sides, it is drawn to the upright position from the tension of the solidifying solder paste.

    Reminded me of when I worked at Control Techniques ltd back in 1989. We used the manufacturing process, maybe the speeds of pick and place have increased and the methods use to inspect solder joints have changed a little. But on the whole pcb manufacturer hasn't changed a lot in all these years. I remember the staff placing through components by hand we used to call it "the add on section". I worked in the test and repair section where we had custom made machines (in house" ) that would power up and test functionality of each circuit board. I started out testing and repairing their "INBP Boards". Then moved to repairing the boards that had failed inspection from one of the multi million pound machines that was capable of testing many types of board. This video gave me a good trip down memory lane, and it was fascinating to see that some tech still hasn't changed in all those years.

    Perfect! This video is a Masterpiece! Scotty, you have made a flawless, specific, detailed, and correct video of the latest PCB assembly processes. There are many other videos out there, mostly from CMs (Contract Manufacturers) & KZreadrs, but they not well done, poorly shot, poorly lit, disorganized, incomplete, factually wrong, incomprehensible, etc., etc. This video has so many little important details, that it should be watched 2 or 3 times to fully understand them all. Watching this and your previous video of how bare PCBs are made, provides a thorough education and insight of how PCBAs (PCB Assemblies, i.e. boards with the parts soldered on) are built and tested. These two videos should be required viewing by every Electrical Engineer and student (AS, BS,MS & PhD). Especially from the last 20 years, most of whom have very little knowledge or understanding of how physical electronics products are made. Every “maker” and “doer”, especially on Kickstarter, should be compelled to watch this at least 10 times, take notes and pass a test! Thank you and PCB Way for all the time and work for planning, writing, shooting and editing this video. Your well recorded, clear voice and enunciating diction, makes this available and useful for all, including ESL foreign language native speakers. Missing are: like, um, you know, um, searching for words, "Chinglish", explaining to your factory host what they are looking at (host = anyone there who speaks a little English). FYI: I am an Electrical Engineer, who over the last 45 years, has designed and made hundreds of products and PCBAs, designed & built several PTH (Plated Through-Hole) and SMT assembly lines in several facilities and countries, and site inspected scores of electronic manufacturing plants in numerous countries. TEN THUMBS UP! (that’s all I’ve got) P.S. Thank you for helping me find “the way”. PCBWay! I have a few projects and now I am confident in having PCBWay make them.

    They're made to be made once, intricately and quickly, like this. Not the best for repair where you want the opposite, careful inspection and diagnosis. But More can be done, even if they don't know whats going to fail later. Other times they do know and don't care cause of cost savings or can just avoid responsibility once it leaves their supply chain. But a lot of the time they don't even want us to believe it can be repaired. What can be done? Learn repair yourself. The consumer electronics industry is taking advantage of peoples ignorance and lack of education. The PCB makers are not as much to blame, as middlemen in the process. IMO it would be nice to get conformal coating (a basic level of waterproofing) as a more standard practice. Its optional, and since the OEMs who order the boards from these PCB companies and re-sell them to you in a finished product benefit from going without it (so you can buy a new one), they won't be forced to care. But we care when our stuff dies and it coulda been prevented for 12 cents. or 2 cents. Just my 2 cents. But i digress....

    In reference to tombstoning. It mainly happens when your fixture inside your pick and place machine is loose, or the stand offs (board supports) aren’t adjusted correctly. Causing the components to bounce during placement. Mostly what happens is if the component is not equally anchored on both sides, it is drawn to the upright position from the tension of the solidifying solder paste.

    I just was in a PCB assembly factory in Switzerland last week with my electrical engineering class. This video was very intresting to see the diffrences. Generaly, it's pretty much the same procss. I think the most obvious diffrence was that in the swiss factory there was even more automation going on and less manual labor. This makes sense as salaries in Switzerland probably are an order of magnitude higher. Another big diffrence is that the swiss factory seems to be a really focused of customer support and has quite a few engineers helping the customer to improve the design of their bord for easier assembly, testing and better functionality. They added a lot of testpads on all boards to later test all the components after they have been soldered in. To do this they had two methods: For boards in large quantities the custom build a testrig where you can put a board in. It has one of those spring loaded pins for every test pad. Every one is conected to a machine with hundrets of inputs. They then program the machine whitch pins it has to measure against each other and within what margins the result should be. If there is a microcontroller on the board they can also program in that way.The way cooler method is what they use for boards in smaller quantities. They have a robot with "flying probes". Basically a robot with like eight small probes that they can automatically stick on any place on the board and then measure a component. This happens with a crazy speed, the probes are really flying around. But it can easily take a couple of minutes for one board to be tested.

    Scotty didn't show it in this video but if you watch his video where he tours the JLC PCB factory you can see a lot of what you are talking about. They have a whole building full of people validating designs and he shows off one of their flying probe machines there. This video I think was more focused on soldering components onto the PCB than PCB fabrication.

    I will add also, PCBWay's technical sales team is excellent! Back when I did my first ever board with them (a custom arduino-like device based around a SAMD micro-controller), they went out of their way to help me get my design in the correct format for production (AutoDesk Eagle missed one of the files they needed in its default export, and one of the components didn't have polarity indicated properly in the output files, IIRC). They were able to get me through the process to deliver a board that was exactly to what I had intended in my design.

I can only do 300 parts on hour on my PnP, but beats hand placing them. I’m going to build a bed of nails to test my system, looks like old 3D printer parts will be handy.
