- BGA and Micro-BGA Mounting capabilities highlight PICA’s proficiency in handling high-density interconnects, ensuring reliable electrical functionality.
PICA manufacturing solutions offers various services in component assembly and inspection processes necessary to guarantee quality.
PICA Manufacturing Solutions offers an Automated Optical Inspection service. OMRON Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is a state-of-the-art inspection machine that can detect various component and solder defects with cutting-edge technology that utilizes advanced cameras and image processing algorithms to inspect and identify defects in printed circuit boards (PCBs) after component assembly. Read more about our state-of-the-art AOI inspection service.
With the latest on-site 2D and 3D x-ray equipment, PICA offers real-time inspections for Printed Circuit Board components, assemblies, and other electronic devices. Along with on-site inspections conducted at our facility, we also offer remote inspections through our real-time conferencing system. This allows our clients to actively participate in the inspection process, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of the results.
PICA specializes in High Density (Fine Pitch) PCB Assembly, focusing on assembling boards with a high component density per square inch to optimize space and tolerances. Utilizing advanced techniques like micron microvias, blind and buried vias, and heavy copper, this process ensures efficient use of space and enhanced performance. Additionally, this service extends to Flex PCB/Flexible Printed Circuit Boards.
For protective measures, PICA offers Conformal Coating. Conformal coating is a lightweight material applied to PCBs that acts as a protective layer. It protects circuit boards and components against various environmental factors, including heat, humidity, moisture, ultraviolet light, chemical contaminants, and abrasive materials. The key benefit of applying a conformal coating is that the protection will extend the circuit board’s life and reduce component failure rates due to environmental factors.
Component assembly is pivotal in present-day manufacturing and engineering, offering numerous benefits in cost-effectiveness, quality assurance, and adaptability. At PICA Manufacturing Solutions, we not only provide component assembly services but also offer advanced inspection and protective measures to uphold the highest quality standards and enhance the longevity of your Flex PCB and Printed Circuit Boards.
