Comprehensive solution FLEX:Repair

Possibility of repair both surface mounting and pin mounting thanks to the following elements:

• Universal system for fixing printed circuit assemblies.
• High resolution camera to control the soldering process.
• Combined board heating: IR + convection to maintain a given thermal profile, regardless of the heat capacity or color of the component case.
• Contact and non-contact temperature control of the board and components.
• Separate optical system for precise component positioning.
• Control panel for moving the table and rotating components.

At each repair site, summary information from optical and X-ray inspection systems is automatically uploaded. FLEX:Repair solution interface shows:

• A repairable component with a solder defect pattern.
• Image of a component without a defect for comparison.
• 3D-image of the component.
• Passport data.
• Confirmation of the elimination of the defect after the repair with the preservation of the entire history of the work performed.

In the FLEX:Repair solution, certification and traceability of all key operations are organized on the Smart Workstation system and implemented step by step as follows:

• Authorization of an employee and scanning of the barcode of the board to fix the product and the start time of the operation.
• Photo fixation of repair results with saving in the database using a digital microscope connected to the system.
• Fixing the result of the repair: successful completion of the repair or non-repairability of the product.

The employee's workplace should be comfortable, functional, safe and well-equipped. To perform the required type of tasks, the composition and configuration of each place is thought out to the smallest detail: well lit, provide easy access to tools and consumables, to digital information on touch screens. If necessary, the configuration is individually finalized taking into account the needs of the customer.

When developing the solution, the advanced European experience in organizing jobs was taken into account.
