Learn about the electronic production machinery line system
The electronics sector is a manufacturing industry that plays a key role in the economy and has a direct impact on other industries. In Vietnam, this industry accounts for about 17.8% of the proportion in the whole industry. [1] Recognizing the importance of this sector, the production of electronics has also been focused. To better understand this field, RX Tradex would like to introduce to you the article: “Understanding the electronic production machinery line system.”
1. What is Electronic Manufacturing Machinery?
How is electronic manufacturing machinery understood? Manufacturing electronic components is the process of making electronic parts and devices. The main products of this industry are: Electronic products, computers and peripherals, optical devices and other components. Specifically, these include: Electronic circuits, microchips and electronic components such as diodes, capacitors, resistors, sensors, controllers or other electronic elements,…
The manufacturing process of electronic components includes many steps such as: Design, manufacture, inspection and packaging,… To produce high-quality electronic components, manufacturers must use modern production processes, ensuring the accuracy and durability of products. Electronic components are used in many electronic devices, namely: Computers, mobile phones, household electrical appliances, medical devices, automobiles and many other types of products.
1.1. How many steps does the electronic components production machinery line include?
Electronic components manufacturing machinery includes 3 specific stages such as: Electronic component design, sample manufacturing, electronic component testing and electronic circuit manufacturing. Join RX Tradex to find out in detail each stage below:
Design of electronic components.
Electronic component design is the process of creating blueprints for electronic components, including: electronic circuits, microchips, chips, controllers and other components. Electronic component design is done using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software or by hand. The designer will create a circuit drawing (PCB layout) to simulate components, circuit lines and connections on electronic circuits. The circuit drawing will also note other specifications and technical documentation.
After the electronic component design is completed, it will be transferred to the production stage to create a sample or large number of electronic components. The electronic component design process requires high precision and must comply with safety standards and quality regulations to ensure product reliability.
Prototyping.
When the design is ready, it will move to the development stage with the main goal of having a product prototype. Extensive research is carried out before integration into the actual production process to minimize risks and avoid wasting time and money. The product sample along with the PCB prototype must be the perfect copy of the design pattern with specifications and details.
This includes: Sample design, material preparation, sample assembly, testing and evaluation, customization and improvement, running tests and retesting,…
Inspection of electronic components.
An electronic prototype that acts as a copy of the product is being repeatedly tested in various aspects. The objective is to ensure that the product meets safety precautions and quality standards with full functionality of the sample.
Advanced inspection procedures include: Optical product review automatically analyzes PCBs for problems and errors on the computer. Easily detect problems and entire location mismatches through automated optical inspection. Another important type of testing procedure is environmental testing in which the product is exposed to the intended environment and checks whether the product reacts to the temperature, humidity, air pressure of the environment along with other factors to test the durability and resistance of the product.
Manufacture of electronic circuits.
Electronic circuit manufacturing is the process of creating complete electronic circuits, including PCBs and electronic components installed on them. PCB (Printed Circuit Board), also known as printed circuit board, is an important component in the manufacture of electronic components. They help connect and support electronic components, forming a complete printed circuit.
Assembling or manufacturing PCBs is the task that involves the most electronic knowledge because printed circuit boards contain all electrical components, circuits, and processors. To ensure the performance of complex finished products is the PCB manufacturing process. The variety of processes used in circuit board manufacturing varies after the manufacture of the first layer but circuit boards can be single, two-layer or multi-layer depending on requirements.
This stage includes: electronic circuit design, component ordering, component printing diagrams, soldering, inspection and repair, finishing, packaging and delivery,…
1.2. Benefits of electronic production machinery line system.
In the era of industrialization, cleanroom design consulting services, cleanroom construction are increasingly innovating and regularly upgrading automation lines. All kinds of production lines were born to help overcome all limitations of traditional production methods, help free up labor, bring high productivity and high economic efficiency.
