One of our major advantages is our remarkable capability for dealing with PCB assemblies using 01005 packaged components from small quantities to high volume contracts. It is a matter of fact that many companies still have difficulty in finding PCB assemblers capable of reliably dealing with 01005 components. There are quite a few customers who need to outsource a PCB assembler that can help with 01005 packaged components for their products and have chosen to work with Emin because of our impressive technical expertise and long practical experience. This becomes a great competitive advantage for us in this industry.
Components have continued to be reduced in size and weight due to the demand for ever smaller and lighter electronic devices. The general adoption of these smaller components has been driven by the overall demand for smaller products. The demand for 01005 components has grown over time and now represents a significant share of the electronic wearable device market.
The most problematic and challenging manufacturing issues that arise during the process are component placement and solder printing. Also, human inspection has become impossible due to the small size of the 01005 components. Therefore, quality assurance and inspection must now be made using sophisticated optical technologies and x-ray microscopes. Emin went through many technical challenges beginning several years ago due to the usage of 01005 components. However, we were able to find ways to overcome these issues through technical innovation.
At the time when 01005 components first started being used, a few of our customers began contracting us to work with these new components that we had previously never worked with. When we originally began working with 01005 packaged components, we found numerous difficulties such as placement accuracy and repeatability, solder paste application, reflow profile, quality visual inspection, as well as repair. We felt trapped by the lack of established manufacturing parameters.
To overcome the difficulties dealing with 01005 components, we learned from our setbacks and used these experiences to find the optimum solutions. We made adjustments to our technical and production methods and continued adapting to successfully work with these small components. Gradually, our production process was refined by gaining experience, more effective equipment and most of all our diligence and perseverance.
Today, Emin has long overcome the difficulties in working with 01005 packaged components. Our proficiency is a result of the knowledge we have gained and accumulated through our years of experience. Emin has unique know-how and abilities to successfully use our tools and equipment to work ideally with our specific parameters and sophisticated techniques, for example, things like form and thickness of the stencil for solder printing, solder paste deposition, solder paste types, nozzle types, reflow profile and many more. Emin has comprehensive data and formulas to control them well. In order to meet our high levels of quality control, Emin Global uses fully automated solder printing and SPI (solder paste inspection) prior to moving to the pick and place machine to ensure that the solder paste has been applied ideally. Once the pick and place stage is complete, we then utilize either 2D or 3D automated optical inspection and X-ray inspection to confirm that the quality of the PCB assemblies has met our high quality standards. Our modern quality control equipment is highly valuable because it effectively screens out any defective products to ensure that only perfect products are shipped to our customers.
Emin’s ultimate goal is to be our customers’ most dependable partner in that we can consistently achieve their desired results. Additionally, our clients will never be inconvenienced by looking for new partners for their different product lines. This is the main reason we pay so much attention to the smallest component assembly. Ideally speaking, Emin would like to be your first partner as well as the last partner on PCB assembly that you will ever need to work with. We can help with the most challenging jobs and we’ll never let you down. We will always be happy to accept the work no matter how challenging it may be.
