Boards built to run on one line

QIONGSAIWU LIMITED specifies the circuit boards, the placement of each part, and the automated production line that solders and tests them.

Boards

What goes onto the line

Each board is described by the parts it carries, how they are placed, and the test that has to pass before the board leaves.

A printed circuit board

The board

The bare board, the copper, and the places where parts must sit.

A machine placing a component

The parts

Each component is placed only when the station reads the pad as ready.

Boards leaving the automated line

The assembly

A finished board leaves after solder and a check, or it stays on the line.

Station

Written on the station before it runs

The placement station does not start until the pad, the part, the cycle, and the signal are on the same line.

Pad

The footprint on the board is the place the part is allowed to land.

Part

The reel and the value are named with the pad, so the head picks one part.

Cycle

Pick, place, and release are one cycle. The next pick waits for the release.

Signal

The station sends done only after the part is down and the head is clear.

Automated line

Four stations, one board

The automated production line loads a board, places the parts, solders them, and tests the result before the next board starts.

01

Load

A board is presented in a known pose. The line does not start until the fixture reads it.

02

Place

The head sets each part on its pad. A missing part holds the station.

03

Solder

The board moves through the oven only after placement has reported done.

04

Test

A check accepts the board or keeps it. The next load waits until the belt is clear.

Control

Watched, held, and stopped

The line is specified with the machines: what may move, and what must stop a board from going on.

Guards

Doors stay closed while the head or the oven is in cycle. An open door removes motion.

Sensors

Board present, part placed, and tool clear have to agree before the next station starts.

Hold

A missing part or a failed check keeps that board on the line.

Stop

One stop halts the stations that share the line, so the next board is not fed in.

Questions

What an enquiry needs to name

Name the board and the side the parts sit on. The line is set for that board before the first one is loaded.

The placement list names each part against its pad. A part that is not on the list is not placed.

After solder, the board is tested. A failed check keeps that board on the line and stops the next one from starting.

Send the board name and the part list to [email protected]. The reply comes to the address you write in the form.
