Quality

At Norcott we strive to deliver the highest quality levels in both assembled products and services.
We are a licensee of the BSI Kitemark for PCB Assembly. This ensures that our finished product has been assembled in accordance with the requirements of IPC-A-610.

All inspection, test and monitoring data is immediately fed back to the production process to optimise first time yield, whilst regular calibration and verification checks ensure that equipment is operating within its optimum performance limits.

To provide detailed process data we have invested in x-ray and AOI. This enables us to control all aspects of our activities from component placement accuracy through to percentages of voiding in lead free solder joints. Coupling this with our skilled operators and engineering team we are able to maintain tight control of our assembly processes.

Manufacturing reports are produced for all prototype builds. Issues raised in these reports can be used to optimise the design, component procurement or assembly process to allow a smooth transition to volume manufacture either at Norcott or on the customers own lines.

Within this overall framework we are always looking for opportunities to reduce assembly or material costs. We work closely with our customers at all stages of product development and manufacture to deliver a cost effective, high quality product.
