CommsAudit has invested in manufacturing equipment including: Reprint R23-Vision Solder Paste Printing Machine, MYDATA 100Lx Surface Mount Pick and Place Machine, TWS 1390 Convection Reflow Oven and a MIRTEC MV-3, Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI).
CommsAudit prides itself on very high quality production of original and bespoke designs by an in-house manufacturing philosophy. There is high investment in staff training and utilisation of modern and best-practice electronic manufacturing techniques that provide extremely high-class solutions. A vast range of electronic components can be handled in the manufacturing process ranging from ‘0201’ up to 686 ball flip chips and chip scale packages; odd form devices and pin in paste reflow are part and parcel of the advanced techniques in use.
CommsAudit also have a dedicated area for Rack builds, electro-mechanical assemblies and complex system integration / wiring.
CommsAudit meets Quality Management Systems standard BS EN ISO 9001:2015, certificate number FM68767 which is backed up by an appropriate audit programme. Equipment is built to meet CE Mark requirements, and where appropriate is Portable Apparatus Tested (PAT) for attachment to installed mains supplies.
Electronic assemblies (PCB’s) are constructed to IPC 610E, including IPC-A-610 — (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies). This also includes IPC 7711 and 7721, referring to standards for re-work of electronic assemblies; principally printed circuit boards. Electrical assembly standards applied include IPC WHMA-A-620 for cables and cable harness. Operators are trained to J-STD-001 (Soldering of Electrical Assemblies).
To maintain a high-class assembly environment, other disciplines to maintain lean and 6-Sigma manufacturing principles are employed such as:
CommsAudit has a sizeable estate of RF and general test equipment. Some of it is configured as specialised Automated Test Equipment (ATE) with computer control. This is necessary to meet the very high performance criteria of the items on test, but also means that when repetitive testing work is involved, the possibility of human error is minimised. It thus contributes to consistent maintenance of product quality.
To augment the testing capability, diagnostic, debug tools and programming of devices, CommsAudit uses XJTAG boundary scan. Test equipment is calibrated in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements, and Calibration Certificates are retained.
As an OEM, CommsAudit obtains components and sub-assemblies from many suppliers.All components supplied are accompanied by Certificates of Conformance. Full component traceability could be invoked if required.
