Process Monitoring
24 May 2013
Process monitoring can only detect if one single pin is damaged or not pressed properly in assemblies with very few pins.
The damage of a single pin cannot be detected while pressing many pins simultaneously. Monitoring however can detect if adequate interference is present, even with a high number of pins. The amount of interference is an indication on if the through holes in the PCB are properly soldered.Your application has only 5 pins. I also attach a typical record of Failure Mode for Missing pin, Pin Bent to cavity, Misaligned board, No Board, Board on Housing
Inspection, measurement capabilities
- Inspect presence of every single pin prior to press cycle (requires servo press)
- Inspect presence of every single pin post press cycle
- Inspect distance between top of compliant pins and PCB
- Inspect for 'levelness' of PCB
- Inspect height of all pins relative to each other
- Physical / mechanical dimensional inspection via precision, low force probes in combination with laser sensor
- Measurement via a variety of laser sensors
- Continuity check
- PCB levelness via three or four point inspection
