Electronics Assembly Laboratory
The Electronics Assembly Laboratory provides graduate and undergraduate students with equipment and instrumentation for instruction in Circuit Board Manufacturing. The lab is well equipped for transferring classroom concepts and principles into practical experiences. In the lab students perform processes that are identical to those used in industrial printed circuit board (PCB) assembly.
This lab contains several bench soldering stations for beginning instruction and sophisticated instrumentation for higher level instructional activities. Experiments in the lab expose students to thru-hole and surface mount technologies of circuit board manufacturing.
- The lab is equipped with...
- QUAD placement machine which allows students to apply their programming skills and also diagnose engineering problems associated with component placement and circuit board design
- Three different soldering technologies currently used in industry
- An infrared reflow oven
- A vapor phase machine
- A wave soldering machine
- A screen printer for applying solder paste
- Stations for manual component placement and soldering
