Q: Can you share more about the specific solutions your company offers for testing PCBs across different electronic devices?
A: We provide Manufacturing Defect Analyzers (MDAs) to electronic manufacturers, empowering them to verify the precision and functionality of motherboard and PCB components. Tailored to meet diverse customer needs, our MDAs range from base models to advanced versions, each designed for rigorous defect analysis. Moreover, our systems detect non-compliant components, identifying those that fail to meet specified values or function correctly. With our technology, customers ensure their products meet the highest quality standards, consistently delivering reliability to their end-users.
Q: Could you explain any specific Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA) your company offers for analyzing various components on a circuit board?
A: The JET-3000, a powerful MDA tester, measures the impedance of every electronic component on an assembled PCB. It begins by detecting shorts and opens that may occur during assembly, ensuring a solid foundation for further testing. Next, it meticulously assesses components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, FETs, SCRs, Zener diodes, and LEDs, verifying that each value falls within the specified tolerance range. Additionally, the tester checks component orientation for capacitors, diodes, and transistors. For integrated circuits (ICs), it confirms pin integrity and evaluates solderability, guaranteeing reliable performance across the entire PCB.
Q: What types of inspection solutions does your company offer?
A: We offer both manual and automated optical inspection solutions. Our 3D video microscopes, for instance, are highly versatile and suited to a range of applications. They are widely used in microelectronics, precision electronic inspection, PCB solder testing, and hardware and precision parts industries, among many others.
Q: What types of analytics are available through your testing solutions?
A: Our Manufacturing Defect Analyzers (MDAs) feature built-in analytics that enhance their functionality. Upon completing the testing of any board or PCB, these machines deliver a comprehensive analysis, highlighting defects and issues detected during the inspection. This valuable information enables manufacturers to swiftly identify and replace specific components, ensuring that the PCB operates flawlessly.
Q: Could you tell us about some of your key clients in India?
A: We serve prominent automotive companies, including Tata and Mahindra, along with various manufacturers in the automotive sector. Our products primarily focus on testing automobile chips, ensuring their quality and reliability. Notably, we design all our testing solutions right here in India, reflecting our commitment to innovation and excellence in the industry.
