Manufacturing of PCB boards for electronic devices is a complicated science that requires technical skills. With time, PCB fabrication is becoming more intricate as technology is consistently advancing. In this section, you will get to know some of the most basic tools and equipment that electronic manufactures use in the making of printed circuit boards.
Take a look:
Drill:
It can be both corded and cordless, which is highly useful in the making of such devices and components. Drill is to create a hole, onto the circuit board for the purpose of attaching components. For majority of projects a drill that has bits with the range of 1/8 to ½ inches is best.
Soldering iron:
Soldering iron is electronics and soldering equipment, which is basically a device that carries a tip which heats up to a particular temperature in order to melt down the soldering metal (usually metal alloys that have melting point of about 360 Fahrenheit). First, the solder melts and upon cooling down, it forms an electrical link between the conductive components.
Soldering irons can either be combustion-powdered or electric. In case of manufacturing of small electronic devices, the electric soldering iron is a better option which is more readily available and user-friendly. Solder attaches the components with each other and offers a conduit path through which electric current flow in small amounts.
Wire strippers
Electronic manufacturers spend quite the time dealing with wires. When two strands of wires are attached, then it is important to strip the outer protective layer that provides insulations in order to use the inside copper wire. This is what manufacturers use wire-strippers for. These strippers look like pair of pliers with small grooves. Each groove has varying size corresponding to the thickness of wires. Wire is placed in the groove and upon pulling the wire-stripper; the insulation gets removed off the wire.
Pliers
There are two kinds of pliers namely; wire-cutting and needle-nose, which are part of electronic work. The latter one holds and solders the components in right place, and also puts small components on tighter spaces which are too small for human fingers and hands.
Common tools
Other common tools that are part of electronic manufacturing are screwdrivers and hammers. Hammer is for putting apart and piecing together the component casings. Screwdrivers on the together hand, attaches the components with bolts and screw with each other.
The quality of electronics and soldering equipment have a direct bearing on the overall quality and durability of the final product manufactured.
