Manufacture of printed circuits in harmony with the natural environment - recycling

One of the ways to minimise the impact on the natural environment is the reuse of materials recovered from waste accompanying PCB manufacture. This technique reduces the final amount of waste and the use of natural resources. A list of the main waste groups (or their components), together with the p...

Manufacture of printed circuits in harmony with the natural environment - waste classification, storage and disposal

The manufacture of printed circuits is a very complex process that uses a wide range of materials and chemicals. Many of them require special storage and the use of specialised methods of industrial waste disposal. Some of the substances are dangerous for humans and the environment. The article disc...

Testing printed circuits: AOI optical testing

The basic task of electrical testing is to verify the conformity of the design’s mosaic network, reproduced in a real, manufactured circuit. This enables the detection of critical damage to the mosaics in the form of short and open circuits that modify the network structure. In the case of opt...

Testing printed circuits: Blade testers

In contrast to testers with moving probes which have a small number of measuring heads (usually 4), in the blade testers a significant number of fixed measuring probes are used in the form of needles of different diameters (fig.1). The diameters of the needles match the contact surface area of the t...

Testing printed circuits: Electrical testing – testers with moving probes

The operation rule of those type testers, also called finger ones, relays on performing measurements with use of measuring heads equipped in probes moving on both sides of the stationary fixed printed circuit (pic. 1a). In the most popular configuration the tester is disposing four resistance measur...

Testing printed circuits: Classification of the circuits testing methods and introduction to electrical testing

Printed circuits production similar to a serial production of other goods is characterized with a certain efficiency level or the level of the rejected pieces. Rejected circuit means each piece which is not fulfilling design assumptions of the customer or precisely specified industry standards. An e...
