Quick Turn Assemblies

Quick turn assembly is a fast, efficient, and high-precision approach to assembling PCB components that ensures rapid production of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, while maintaining high quality and reliability. It is widely used in industries where fast time-to-market is crucial, such as aerospace, medical devices, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. The primary purpose of quick turn PCB assembly is to expedite product development by delivering fully assembled boards within a short turnaround time. This allows engineers and designers to iterate their designs quickly, test prototypes, and accelerate their production cycle without delays. At Accelerated Assemblies, we specialize in providing superior quick turn assembly, prototype PCB assembly, and rapid PCB prototyping services that meet the demands of various industries. Our expertise ensures high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective PCB solutions that support innovation and efficiency.

Process of Quick Turn Assembly in PCBs
At Accelerated Assemblies, we understand the importance of quick turn PCB assembly in faced-paced and modern manufacturing units across industries. Our commitment to precision, efficiency, and reliability ensures that our customers receive fully assembled PCBs within the shortest time frame possible. With advanced equipment and a team of experts, we offer a range of quick turn assembly capabilities that cater to diverse industry requirements. Here are the process steps we follow.
 
  • Design and File Submission: Customers provide their PCB design files, including Gerber files, Bill of Materials (BOM) and assembly drawings. We ensure that all the necessary documentation is complete to prevent delays.
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Check: Our engineering team reviews the design for any manufacturability issues, ensuring optimal layout and material selection for a seamless assembly process.
  • Material Sourcing and Procurement: Depending on the customer’s preference, we either use customer-supplied parts (consigned assembly) or procure components through our turnkey assembly service. We have a strong vendor and supply chain network and can procure the required part numbers or the exact alternatives, depending on the requirement.
  • Stencil Fabrication for SMT Assembly: We create precision stencils for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly, ensuring accurate solder paste application.
  • Component Placement and Soldering: We use advanced pick-and-place machines, to position the components accurately on the PCB, followed by reflow soldering to secure them in place.
  • Through-Hole Component Assembly (If Required): For PTH mixed technology PCBs, we insert and solder through-hole components as needed. This may be either manual or automated.
  • Inspection and Quality Control: We conduct automated optical inspection (AOI) and X-ray inspection to detect any assembly defects. Additional manual inspections ensure precision and compliance.
  • Functional Testing and Verification: If required, we perform functional tests to verify that the assembled PCBs operate as expected before delivery.
  • Packaging and Shipping: Once the PCB assemblies pass quality checks, they are securely packaged and shipped within the agreed timeframe.
