O’Neill Associates can turn your idea into a finished product or make a contribution to any part of that process.
Below are some of the services we can provide.
Design Consultation
Every design or idea starts with your thoughts regarding the finished product, and it is our aim to assist you in achieving your goal. During a consultation the following will be discussed:
- Physical and functional requirements.
- Scope of work.
- Develop specifications.
- Project and product budgeting.
Circuit Design
We use various software tools to aid in circuit design.
Prototyping, Testing, and Verification
Prototype circuitry is evaluated using a range of instruments, for both individual components and the system as whole. This allows performance verification against design specifications.
PCB Design
For PCB design we use the industry standard Altium Designer.
Component Procurement and Verification
Generally we only source components from Tier 1 suppliers. Our customers can nominate suppliers we use for specific parts to ensure traceability. In house sampling of components ensures the correct goods were supplied.
Assembly and Soldering
For low volume assembly we use manual pick and place workstations. For higher volumes there are Yamaha automatic pick and place machines. Surface mount soldering is completed with an IBL vapor phase machine. An ATF wave soldering machine is used for through hole components.
Inspection
Component and assembly inspection is performed manually at a number of Mantis workstations. For higher volume inspection we use Omron Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment.
Testing
We have the capability to electrically test completed assemblies.
