Prototype and Pre-production

In conjunction with our EMS operations we have the in-house capability to rapidly manufacture prototypes.

Component Procurement

We carry extensive stocks of basic passive components. Typically these can account for 63% of the placements on a new prototype design, significantly reducing the materials management overhead. For more complex components we can source or accept free issue parts.

We have a range of dependable PCB suppliers that provide us with a range of fast turnaround PCB procurement options.

Assembly

All products including prototypes are machine assembled. This provides a level of quality and consistency that cannot be easily matched by hand assembly methods. Norcott can offer a wide variety of manufacturing processes including a mixed technology with a double sided reflow, intrusive PTH reflow and a no-clean and water washable flux chemistries.

Quality

For prototypes or volume production quality is paramount. Assembly errors can translate into hours of unnecessary debugging time. All prototypes are manufactured within our IPC-A-610D accredited process.

Oven profiling is carried out on all new designs to ensure right first time reflow performance. All assembled product undergoes a 100% visual inspection during manufacture. For prototype BGA and CSP, LCC assemblies can use our high resolution real time x-ray system to validate the assembly process.
