Conventional Assembly
Axial and Radial PTH
Bytec offers the flexibility of manufacturing legacy and mixed technology products by utilising semi-automatic component placement equipment. Bytec ’s radial and axial equipment employs cut and clinch systems.
Both axial and radial component insertion is programmed via computer ensuring a high levels of efficiency and build standard.
PCB Assembly - Hand Insertion
Bytec's hand insert capability utilises cut and clinch systems and a wave soldering line with spray flux application. The printed circuit assembly process is based around no-clean principles with lead-free (RoHS compliant) solder baths. Some clients require the use of leaded soldering for specific applications, and in these cases, we offer a high quality hand soldering service by fully trained production operatives.
Complimenting the hand insertion process is a dedicated pre-assembly, component preparation area allowing sub-assembly of components, component forming and leg cutting.
- Dedicated non-leaded capability, hand soldering leaded service
- Spray flux application
- No-clean process
- Component sub-assembly and forming - pre insertion
In the even increasing competitiveness of this market area, Bytec actively works with our clients to reduce cost; as quantities increase, or forecasts are established, far east outsourcing becomes a real possibility. Bytec has a network of approved suppliers, we are not matched to any specific company, but use the most appropriate for the type, quantity and lead time required. Bytec can provide the benefits of no hassle local support with significant cost reduction.
Conformal Coating
Conformal coatings can protect the operational integrity of the printed circuit board assembly, especially where high reliability or exposure to harsh operating environments are expected, often typical of Aerospace, Defence, Medical and harsh Industrial applications.
Following component masking, boards undergo manual conformal coating.
Functional Testing
Bytec has the experience and capability of providing our customers with cost effective total test solutions. From in-process inspection through to customised fully functional test jigs. Bytec has the skill sets to ensure the highest levels of product quality.
The in-house test department provides functional test, while external partners complement this with a more specific test strategy.
