Products & services
AOI Testing
No product leaves Active-PCB without passing a rigorous inspection. We use advanced 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems and X-ray equipment to meet the specific criteria set by our customers. These tools allow us to maintain the highest possible quality standards, ensuring that every product is inspected during production, repair, rework, and refurbishment. Our in-house X-ray capabilities, featuring the Nordson-Dage Quadra 3 and Nordson-Dage XD7600NT system, enable us to detect hidden manufacturing internal structures and solder connection defects, checking every layer of the PCB without any risk of damage. Every PCB is thoroughly inspected using our Koh Young Technology KSMART 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system with live data streaming, which tracks each board throughout the assembly process ensuring no defects go undetected. The quick error detection means that issues are spotted and corrected instantly, resulting in faster turnaround times and enhanced product quality.
Box Build & System Assembly
If you’re looking for a partner to simplify and streamline your entire electronics manufacturing process, look no further than Active-PCB Solutions. We offer comprehensive PCB Box Build Assembly Services, supporting both prototype and full-scale end-to-end productions. Our infrastructure enables us to provide complete end-to-end manufacturing solutions that include everything from wiring and potting to conformal coating and boxing, ready for distribution. Using our comprehensive box build assembly service can save you time and money, and take the stress out of the process.
Conformal Coating
In environments where electronics are exposed to contaminants or extreme conditions, conformal coating offers crucial protection to keep your PCBs operating as expected. Active PCB provides a wide range of conformal coating services, using various techniques such as spray coating and potting. This service protects against moisture and chemicals, mitigates the effects of vibration and reduces current leakage. Originally a requirement for military and aerospace industries, conformal coating is now widely used across many sectors, and our expertise ensures that every coated product meets the highest quality standards
Flying Probe Testing
At Active-PCB, we offer advanced flying-probe (fixtureless) testing as a core part of our PCB validation capabilities. This method gives us the flexibility to test prototypes, low- to medium-volume production runs, and boards with tight design constraints, without the need for expensive bed-of-nails fixtures.
Functional Testing
Functional testing of PCBs is an essential step in the production process of printed circuit boards (PCBs) that ensures every board we produce performs exactly as intended in its end application. At Active-PCB Solutions, we know the importance of quality and reliability in electronic assemblies, and our functional testing services are tailored to verify that each PCB meets your required operational specifications.
PCB Assembly
At Active PCB, we specialise in high-quality PCB assembly services, offering both Through-Hole Assembly and Surface Mount Technology (SMT) to meet the diverse manufacturing needs of our clients. Our Through-Hole Assembly process ensures strong mechanical bonds and durability, making it ideal for applications in aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors. Using advanced soldering techniques, we guarantee high reliability and precision in every assembled board. For modern, high-density designs, our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) capabilities enable efficient, compact, and lightweight assemblies. With state-of-the-art equipment, we ensure precise component placement, effective soldering, and rigorous quality control to meet industry standards.
Prototyping & NPI
As leaders in New Product Introduction (NPI), we deliver rapid and agile PCB prototyping with an emphasis on speed and accuracy. Our advanced prototyping capabilities bring your innovative ideas to life, ensuring a seamless and speedy transition from design to production and guaranteeing that your new product meets the highest quality standards right from the start.
Rework & Refurbishment
Our advanced PCB rework and refurbishment services can help your business to recover essential commercial value by repairing and improving electronics. Thanks to over 25 years of knowledge and experience, Active-PCB Solutions can handle even the most complex tasks, including BGA rework, QFN rework, and PoP repair. Whether you are looking to extend product life or restore functionality, our expert rework services can deliver renewed value for your products.
X-Ray Testing
At Active-PCB Solutions, we are committed to delivering the highest quality standards for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) by incorporating advanced inspection and testing methods. One of the most crucial steps in our quality assurance process is X-Ray Testing of PBCs. This powerful, non-destructive inspection method allows us to detect hidden defects in PCB
