Conventional Assembly
Axial and Radial PTH
RAFI offers the flexibility of manufacturing legacy and mixed technology products by utilising semi-automatic component placement equipment. RAFI’s radial and axial equipment employs a conventional cut and clinch.
Both axial and radial component insertion is programmed via computer ensuring the high levels of efficiency and build standard.
PCB Assembly - Hand Insertion
RAFI's hand insert capability utilises cut and clinch systems and wave soldering line with spray flux application. The printed circuit manufacturing process is based around no-clean principles with lead-free (RoHS compliant) solder baths.
Complimenting the hand insert 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
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 typical of Aerospace, Defence, Medical and Industrial applications are to be experienced.
Following component masking, boards undergo manual conformal coating.
Functional Testing
RAFI has experience and capability in providing our customers with, cost effective, total test solutions. From in-process inspection through to customised fully functional testing RAFI 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 to offer a complete test strategy.
