Production Stabilization Through Quality Control in 10-Micron Increments

With manual soldering, variations in quality easily occur due to differences in individual operator skill levels, and it is also difficult to completely eliminate the risk of solder splash. Especially during mass production, even minor variations can lead to increased defect rates and inspection man-hours, making stable process control crucial.

Pronec has introduced automatic soldering equipment in Thailand that can manage soldering levels in increments of 10 microns. By automating the process to minimize human intervention, we reduce skill gaps among operators and maintain consistent soldering quality. This allows us to suppress the risk of solder splash while supplying products of consistent quality, even under a mass production system exceeding 200,000 units per month.

Rotary-Type and Arm-Type Automatic Soldering Equipment

To build a stable soldering process in mass production, equipment selection based on product shape and production volume is essential. Pronec owns both rotary-type and arm-type automatic soldering equipment, allowing us to select the optimal method depending on the product shape, production volume, and required quality. This enables us to flexibly meet precision requirements in 10-micron increments, contributing to stable supply and shortened lead times when transitioning to mass production.

Reduction of Inspection Steps and Yield Improvement

Solder ball adhesion or excess solder buildup beyond specified limits can cause short circuits or malfunctions in subsequent processes. Therefore, taking measures to suppress splashing and excessive buildup is indispensable in the soldering process.

Pronec's automatic soldering equipment incorporates solder splash prevention designs based on past defect history. In addition, dedicated jigs are used as necessary to achieve stable soldering tailored to product specifications.

This reduces the risk of defects and leads to higher yields. As a result, it alleviates the burden of inspection processes on the customer's side and supports the stable supply of products that meet required quality standards.

Service Provision Conditions

When considering new contract mass production, it is necessary to confirm conditions regarding order volume and initial costs. Our production system using automatic soldering equipment is built primarily on the premise of mass production at 200,000 units (200Kpcs) or more per month. Therefore, it may not be suitable for small-lot production.

Additionally, initial costs may occur, such as the fabrication of dedicated jigs tailored to product specifications. If you provide drawings and specifications in advance, we can propose a production plan suited to your product, allowing for consideration based on cost efficiency during mass production transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What measures do you take to prevent solder splash?
A: We incorporate solder splash prevention designs based on past defect data. Furthermore, depending on product specifications and process conditions, we utilize dedicated jigs to minimize the risk of solder splash.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for automatic soldering?
A: This process is primarily designed for mass production of 200,000 units (200Kpcs) or more per month. Therefore, it may not be suitable for small-lot production. Specific availability will be confirmed individually based on product specifications and volume.
