Nye services fra Beta Layout

PCB-firmaet Beta Layout introducerer som noget nyt en 3D model prototypeservice, ligesom firmaet tilbyder at udføre komponentmontageopgaver (in english).

Beta LAYOUT, the supplier of prototype printed circuit boards, SMD laser stencils, custom front panels and supplier of tools and accessories for component assembly, has extended its range of services:

The company introduces a new 3D model prototyping service, which make it possible to check the construction unit accuracy of PCB designs prior to manufacture. Wrongly positioned connectors, off-centre mounting holes etc, are now a thing of the past thanks to the FITS-OR-NOT 3D Model service, the company states.

In most new electronic product development, the design process usually flows like this: the printed circuit board layout is prepared, the data gets sent to the PCB manufacturer, finally the PCB is assembled.

It is only now when you receive the finished, fully assembled printed circuit board do you realise it doesn’t fit the front panel or sit correctly in the intended housing. The FITS-OR-NOT Model, an exact replica of a fully assembled PCB can be manufactured in 3 working days and helps to eliminate the chance of costly errors occurring at a later stage.

Beta LAYOUT require the 3D data which contains the PCB size ( x and y dimensions) and the component values (x, y & z) to manufacture a model. This data can be produced using 'TARGET3001! V15 PCB-POOL edition' software which is available to download.

All standard component data are included in 3D-model form in the software’s library, to which you can also add and store your own customised 3D component data. Later this Autumn Beta LAYOUT will release a solution for generating 3D data directly from geometrical data (IDF format) which many other PCB layout programs can currently only produce.
 
With the help of an on-line ordering facility, the FITS-OR-NOT model is very easy to order. Having received your model, the construction unit can be checked and then the error-free printed circuit board ordered. The FITS-OR-NOT models are manufactured by Beta LAYOUT using a 3D printer and are made of ABS plastic. The models do not shrink, are characterised by high surface hardness and impact strength and can if necessary be polished, drilled, sawed, painted and even plated.

A free FITS-OR-NOT 3D sample can be ordered through: fits-or-not@pcb-pool.com

Component assembly

Besides producing prototype and small series printed circuit board manufactured by PCB POOL, Beta LAYOUT will from now on also offer to assemble the boards with SMT and THT components.

Beta LAYOUT becomes one of the first companies to offer this complete one stop service online. An easy to use online matrix enables customers to configure, calculate and place an order. Subsequently, the customer simply uploads his/her Eagle ( *.brd) and/or Target PCB layout files.

Starting with quantities from 1 to 50 printed circuit boards and as little as one component (SOIC, PLCC, TSOP, QFP, BGA,& various connectors) the printed circuit boards are then assembled within 8 days. Both complete and partial assembly are possible.

The components to be assembled are provided either by the customer or by Beta LAYOUT, who will liaise directly with the desired supplier. Tape strip, bars, reels and, in exceptional cases, bulk material can be assembled. The SMD assembly can be performed on one or both sides thanks to mass production-quality automatic placement machines for components of a size of 0402 and upwards.

SMD components are soldered by machine in a vapour phase procedure, THT components are soldered by hand. A lead free solder paste in accordance with DIN 32513, ISO, EN 29454 as well as IPC 650 standards is used. A visual examination takes place before shipping.
