Leading Attributes and Approaches of Box Build Assembly

Quality of electronic products to a large extent depends on assembly technologies. According to design files, work procedure, and techniques, box build assembly refers to a process where multiple components and accessories are assembled. Apart from assembling, it is also fixed on specific positions of circuit boards or enclosures, to generate an integrated system. Later, these final products are packed and distributed to sales offices across the globe after testing and inspection process.

At each stage of the whole manufacturing procedure, technology files composed by records indicating technological features amid modules of mass manufactured electronic products. By compiling into box build assembly, it plays an essential role in the whole assembly procedure, commonly applying manual tools in the process of electronic product assembly. The second stage is the sub-assembly which is based workflow, assembly approaches and technology files determining with workflow operation and engineering staff distributed. Lastly, the third stage is the assembly preparation, referring to a series of preparation for box build assemblies and sub-assemblies regarding manufacturing organization, and material.

Three approaches of Box Build Assembly

The box build assembly features three approaches – function, component approach and functional component approach from the perspective of assembly principles.

According to functional modules and each component, also known as a functional component, refers to the process in which electronic products divided into a few sections. It can be inspected and independently assembled, as it is functionally and structurally relatively complete. Regarding volume, structure, assembly and connection spec, the different functional component performs differently that uniform regulations are difficult to be generated. Moreover, reducing the assembly density of the whole system is the main advantage of this approach. By and large, this approach applied to products whose functions depend on discrete components or devices utilizing vacuum electron tubes.

The component approach mainly refers to multiple components manufacturing whose figure and assembly spec feature uniforms specifications. Its merit lies in assembly standardization improvement and electrical assembly unity usually applied to get devices assembled such as integrators.

The combination of function and component approach is the main advantage of a functional component approach. With the help of integrated functions and standardized structure size, this approach is capable of manufacturing components and works best on microcircuits.

Attributes of Box Build Assembly

Assembled on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) as a backplane, electrical characteristic of box build assembly lies in circuit soldering of components. Through the approach of component fixation, a structural attribute of box build assembly lies in enclosure assembly and mechanical integration, where construction implemented in a sequence from inside to outside.

Rather than quantitative analysis, the quality of manufacture inspected through hand feel and visual inspection. For instance, quality of assembly for the rotary knob and dial is examined by hand feel, whereas, visual inspection usually judges soldering quality. Multiple technologies like soldering, welding, lead wires, harness processing, lead forming, and component quality inspection technologies and many more comprised in box build assembly technology.
