The cost control of PCB blind hole processing is a multi-faceted process, involving design, processing, testing and other links. Here are some effective ways to help control the cost of blind hole machining:
1. Design cost control
Simplified design: try to simplify the design of blind holes to reduce unnecessary complexity. The simpler the design of the blind hole, the lower the design cost.
Standardized design: Use standard dimensions and standard processes to avoid special requirements, which can reduce design time and cost.
2. Processing cost control
Optimization drilling method: Select the appropriate drilling method, such as mechanical drilling, laser drilling, plasma drilling, etc. Laser drilling and plasma drilling although the equipment cost is high, but high precision, fast speed, suitable for high-density, small aperture blind hole production.
Reduce waste: By optimizing the structure of parts, avoiding deep pockets and right Angle designs, processing difficulty and time can be reduced, thus reducing processing costs.
Mass production: Mass production can spread equipment and material costs, reducing unit costs.
Environmental protection and safety: Environmental protection and safety factors are taken into account in the processing process to avoid additional costs caused by illegal operations.
3. Test cost control
Reduce test items: Arrange test items reasonably, avoid unnecessary repeated tests, and reduce test time and cost.
Use of automated test equipment: The use of automated test equipment can improve test efficiency and reduce labor costs.
4. Material and process selection
Select the right materials: The use of standard-sized PCB boards can reduce material costs, while the use of SMT technology can increase component density and reduce wiring costs.
Reasonable selection of PCB layer number and pilot hole diameter: reasonable selection of PCB layer number and pilot hole diameter according to actual needs to avoid excessive design, so as to control costs.
5. Optimize processing methods and improve efficiency
Using CNC machine tools: Using CNC machine tools for precise machining can reduce waste and processing time, thus reducing costs.
Improve the process flow: By optimizing the process flow, reduce unnecessary processes and improve production efficiency.
The cost of PCB blind hole processing can be effectively controlled through reasonable design, optimization of processing methods, improvement of efficiency, selection of appropriate materials and processes. Specific measures include simplifying design, optimizing drilling methods, reducing waste, mass production, reducing test items, using automated test equipment, selecting suitable materials and processes, and improving process flow. These methods not only help reduce costs, but also improve product quality and production efficiency.
