4. Quality Inspection Before Shipment
We strictly comply with ISO9001:2015 requirements and all production processes are in line with IPC standards. In addition to basic visual inspections, all boards undergo the most rigorous electrical tests. We use industry-renowned testing and inspection equipment such as Flying Probe Testing, AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) and Copper Thickness Tester.
We guarantee that every PCB in your hand is in good condition and you can proceed to the next step of assembly safely. Various types of test reports are available upon request.
2-Drilling
We will control the service life of the drill tips. The drill tips are coated, which can prolong the service life and reduce the hole diameter. After drilling, there is a test for roughness of hole side, and drilling machine inspection to check the hole position, aperture, whether there is missing hole or plug hole, etc.

7-Soldermask And Silkscreen
We use LDI,automatic alignment exposure machine, to finish high quality soldermask process. Solder mask and silkscreen have to also go through QC semi-inspection, and there is also QA inspection (spot check) to check whether the solder mask is not fully developed, whether the solder mask enters the hole, whether the silkscreen printing.
