Core Optimization Points:

  • Electrostatic Protection Zone: Ionizers (±3V balance) and anti-static curtains are configured from the printer to the reflow soldering area.
  • Dedicated Micro Component Line: Feeding system directly connected to the pick and place machine, material station switch time < 10 seconds.
  • Dual Track Asynchronous Control: Track A produces main control boards (6-layer), Track B produces RF modules (4-layer).

2. Capacity and Efficiency Model

IndicatorParameter
Theoretical Mounting Speed85,000 CPH (NXT III×2)
Actual Capacity (OEE 82%)32,000 main boards output per single shift (8 hours)
Changeover Time≤18 minutes (magnetic steel stencil + quick material change cart)
Overall Pass Rate≥99.2% (triple interception using SPI + AOI + X-Ray)

3. Special Process Support for High-Frequency Circuits

1. RF Module Production Requirements

  • Soldering Control: Reflow soldering profile set with a slow ramp-up zone of 2°C/s (100-150°C) to reduce stress on the dielectric layer.
  • Shielding Frame Assembly: The dispensing machine integrates a conductive glue spraying module, grounding impedance < 10 mΩ.
  • Signal Integrity: X-Ray inspection for weld point height consistency (±8μm).

2. Hybrid Assembly Scheme

Main Flow: SMT mounting (0402 components) → Selective wave soldering (RJ45 interface) → Conformal coating (special for waterproof models)
Secondary Flow: FPC soft board produced synchronously with customized fixtures (fixture switch time ≤ 5 minutes)

4. Cost Control and Risk Mitigation

1. Second-Hand Equipment Assurance Plan

  • Refurbishment Standards: Full replacement of servo motors/screws, visual system upgraded to 10μm accuracy.
  • After-Sales Commitment: 4-hour onsite response in the Yangtze River Delta, spare parts inventory coverage > 90%.

2. Domestic Replacement Strategy

EquipmentDomestic SolutionCost Reduction

5. Supplier Cooperation Terms

TermsDetails
Acceptance CriteriaContinuous 48-hour production test, CPK ≥ 1.67 (key positions of pick and place/AOI).
Payment Method40% advance payment + 30% shipment payment + 30% acceptance payment (including 3% quality assurance fund).
Technical TrainingProvide “High-Frequency Board SMT Process Manual” + 5 days of on-site debugging (including electrostatic protection specialized training).

Attachments

  1. High-Frequency Board Soldering Curve Template (including lead-free/lead-containing process parameters).
  2. Second-Hand Equipment Refurbishment Inspection Report (including MTBF ≥ 8000 hours certification).
  3. Hybrid Assembly Verification Cases (Main Control Board + RF Module produced on the same line).

This solution combines second-hand and domestic equipment to reduce initial investment by 30%. The triple inspection system ensures that the router mainboard pass rate meets requirements. It is recommended to prioritize verification of RF module soldering processes while simultaneously applying for IPC-6012DA Class 3 certification.
