Electronic product assembly faces challenges due to the large number and variety of components and short product life cycle, leading to complex production scheduling. The assembly line consists of high-speed and multi-functional placement machines, with switching times being a critical factor in the process. Production scheduling is divided into board-level and group-level to optimize efficiency and minimize switching times.
Printed circuit boards are a crucial substrate for electronic parts assembly, with a global output value of $45 billion per year, predominantly driven by China’s rapid growth and market advantages. The industry is shifting towards China, especially in the high-end segment, leading to increased production capacity and development towards high-end products. This trend is also affecting the copper clad laminate (CCL) and downstream machine products market, with concentration and pricing pressures in the short term but opportunities for small-scale manufacturers in specific market segments. The industry is facing challenges from raw material price increases, environmental regulations, and the need for technological innovation to meet emerging industry and customer demands.

The assembly of electronic products involves various technical techniques and requires trained and certified personnel to ensure quality and reliability.
The trend towards ultra thin PCBs with high-density interconnections and small apertures is driving the development of new equipment and processes to overcome prior art shortcomings and provide a manufacturing method for fabricating ultra thin PCBs.
Flex-cut PCB products have a soft copper foil substrate and insulation layer bonded together, allowing for reduced electronic product size and high precision and lower manufacturing costs with laser cutting.
Rogers PCB materials are modern, high-performance composite materials made from glass fiber and aromatic polyimide resin, offering excellent dielectric properties, high-frequency signal transmission ability, and mechanical strength. They are widely used in high-end electronic products, 5G communication technology, and various industries such as communication, medical, military, aerospace, and automotive.
Flex boards and rigid boards are the main materials used in electronic products, with significant differences in physical properties, usage scope, and applicable scenarios. Flex boards are flexible and bendable, suitable for bending and folding scenarios. On the other hand, rigid boards are hard and stable, suitable for durability and stability scenarios. There are also disparities in manufacturing processes, costs, and reliability between flex and rigid boards. Flex boards are relatively simple to manufacture and have lower costs, but lower reliability. Rigid boards are complex to manufacture and have higher costs, but offer higher reliability. Flex boards are used in scenarios requiring greater portability and flexibility, while rigid boards are used in scenarios requiring stability and durability. Understanding the differences and advantages of both can help in choosing the best material for electronic products. As a PCB expert, I can provide assistance in understanding and utilizing flex and rigid boards in electronic products.
