When the design process of an electronic component is complete its time to begin production. One of the most cost effective ways to assemble printed circuit boards is by pick-and-place assembly. The production process actually starts during the design phase. In order for a component to be assembled by pick and place assembly it must be designed in a way that allows the components of the board to placed by a rapid assembly system. For cost effective PCB assembly in California, the design of a board must be RAS ready. For those who have designed their own PCB components there may be a small amount of designing left to do in order to make the component RAS ready. In most cases just a few small adjustments will need to be made.
PCB Assembly in California can be completed in short run production or large scale production. A large scale production is more cost effective and allows an original equipment manufacturer to start producing their products quicker. Small run production is not quite as cost effective, but it will allow the OEM to spot flaws or issues before large amounts of time and money are invested in production of the component. Large or small business could produce a small amount of the components to assure there are no serious flaws in the design and once everything has been verified large scale production can begin. This kind of production will save money in the long run due to fewer returned products or malfunctions due to design errors.
Even if the component is in the earliest design phase, the professionals at service providers such as Caltronics Design and Assembly Inc. can assist in pre-production processes. Assistance with design for electronic, electrical, and even mechanical components is available. Once the design phase is complete, the component can be extensively tested by in-house laboratories. Once testing is complete short run production can begin and the customer can assure that everything is working the way it should. This process is completed by domestic production facilities with high standards of quality control, using the highest quality materials.
