Your Contract Manufacturing Partner...
At Novatronix, we understand that there is a wide assortment of unknowns when it comes to procuring Printed Circuit Boards. Anything from old and out-dated equipment, lack of expertise, outsourcing of services & processes, and low quality standards can jeopardize the integrity and functionality of your final assembled product. The current market trend is to outsource PCB fabrication to such countries as China, Taiwan, and India. With more than 2,250 board houses in China alone, the Printed Circuit Board Industry has become a buyer's market. Many brokers and contract manufacturers solely buy based on price, making them "Penny Wise" while knowing little to nothing about the board house's tendencies or capabilities. However, when their final assemblies fail due to defects on the bare circuit board, they find themselves "Pound Foolish."
No single board house effectively covers the entire spectrum of manufacturing capabilities and not knowing where your board house's core competencies lie can make PCB procurement a tricky and sometimes difficult path to navigate. This is why our customers look to Novatronix to procure their Printed Circuit Boards for assembly.
At Novatronix we implement well-proven guidelines and procedures, analyzing the PCB fabricator’s equipment, capabilities, and expertise before approving them. We routinely run micro-sectioning, micro-etching, thermal stress, and dimensional measurement testing, making sure that the boards we receive from our PCB suppliers meet the structural integrity required by IPC-6012B. These tests find and evaluate voids, cracks, burrs, wicking, delaminating, blistering, plating & dielectric thickness, as well as other structural defects. We also request and have on file IPC-1710A forms, which covers every detail that relates to the PCB fabricator’s processes, machinery, capabilities, and quality programs. All of this is done at no cost to our customers, so when you let Novatronix be your single supplier for all your assembly needs, you can avoid all of the potential pitfalls and costly errors that can occur and be confident in having high quality, highly reliable, and fully functional PCB’s for your assemblies.
