When you think about the technology that powers your daily life; your smartphone, your laptop, your car, even your coffee maker, you probably picture sleek screens, buttons, or even apps. But beneath all that polish lies a quiet hero that rarely gets the spotlight: the Printed Circuit Board, or PCB.…
A well-optimized manufacturing floor isn’t just about speed. It’s about efficiency, precision, and cost control. One of the most effective strategies to achieve these goals is kitting. In electronics manufacturing, where complexity and customization are the norm, kitting plays a vital role in streamlining the assembly process, reducing errors, and…
If you’ve designed a mixed-technology assembly that contains both surface mount and through-hole components, you’ll want to choose a soldering technique that ensures the strongest and most reliable solder joints. While both the Selective Solder machine and the Wave Solder machine ensure reliable solder joints, the complexity of your assembly…
Press Fit is a solderless fastening method used in printed circuit board assembly that relies on pressure and function to join components together. In this method, the inner diameter of one part is smaller than the outer diameter of the mating part. When the two parts are forcefully pressed together,…
Through-hole PCB assembly remains an important process for many applications. While SMT has increased in popularity for compact designs, through-hole technology continues to play a crucial role, particularly for electronics products that require larger components and high-powered handling. If you have a high-volume production order and are looking for consistent…
The Gerber name is synonymous with automation and is a familiar name in the electronics design and manufacturing industries. But the electronics industry isn’t the only industry he left his mark on. Heinz Joseph Gerber was born in Vienna, Austria in April of 1924 and he would have been 100…
