PMB Group Quality without compromise
OUR COMMITMENT
With 15 years of experience in the marketing of the most diverse printed circuit boards, Safe‑PCB has recognized expertise in the sector. It is based on the following key points:
- Partner laboratories trained to comply with our quality charter
- The Safe‑FQC client web application
- The intranet application deployed on production sites
- The provision of clear, standardized and consistent quality reports
Harmonize and secure multi-site quality
. Partner laboratories perform rigorous quality and reliability checks on each batch before shipment. . For the same level of requirement, the Safe‑PCB quality charter imposes the same controls on all circuits, regardless of the production site. Safe‑PCB thus guarantees a homogeneous level of quality for all customers and all delivery areas. . List of equipment required by our quality charter:
Automatic Sampler
The QY22 is a fully automatic sampling equipment for PCB micro-section preparation. Pneumatic transmission and X-Y platform for precise and dust-free cuts. Complies with IPC-TM-650 2.1.1D and GB/T 4677-2002 standards.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
- Large customizable sampling range
- High-definition window and visible process
- High-speed spindle (rapid response)
- Intuitive interface with parameter saving
Custom quality controls Safe‑FQC
Safe‑FQC client web application: Last mandatory step when entering a PCB order, a popup displays the list of final controls common to all circuits (around fifty technical points as standard). With a few clicks, the customer can view online all the qualification tools available in our laboratories and select additional controls:
- Stricter manufacturing requirements (class 3)
- Detailed microsection report (metallographic section)
- Solder mask thickness report
- Ionic contamination report
- Dimensional report (sample/statistical/complete lot)
- Traceability report
- 4-point electrical test report (Kelvin test)
- Etching tolerance report
- IMDS report
Very comprehensive, the application details the available controls, associated standards, methodology used and tolerances to be respected.
Manufacturing tolerances displayed from order
Important: the quality control module displays all the tolerances that PMB commits to respecting for the project when entering the order. In the example on the left, a printed circuit board with dimensions 230 * 250 millimeters has been configured. No special options have been selected. The normal tolerances to be respected are displayed. The final quality control will be conducted with these values as min/max limits. This module represents a major evolution in quality management for developers and end customers.
Quality control intranet application
Intranet application. Internal PMB development under webdev, this powerful, graphic and intuitive application guides quality control operators through the verification steps. Deployed on all production sites and partner quality control laboratories, this software component ensures a homogeneous, exhaustive and adapted battery of tests for each project. Opposite, some screenshots of the application (not exhaustive for confidentiality reasons). All quality controls specific to each PCB are reviewed with display of objectives, tolerances, then entry of results. A final checkup is offered before publishing the results.
Summary documents – Contractual commitments
Final quality control report and certificate of conformity. 100% of printed circuit boards delivered by PMB group are accompanied by these 2 summary documents. Complete, they use clear, standardized and consistent qualifiers They summarize our commitment to provide products that comply with our quality standards and the requirements that the customer has specified in the specifications. They also serve as a basis for invoking the contractual liability of PMB Group in the event of product or service failure
Safe‑PCB Group quality control – Conclusion
Safe‑PCB cultivates and imposes an uncompromising quality requirement, both within its teams and with its partners, in order to guarantee the reliability of its products and preserve the lasting confidence of its customers. This confidence is based on total transparency regarding the materials used, the means implemented, the results of quality controls and all information communicated to customers. This transparency also applies in the event of delays or non-conformity with the objective of continuous improvement of the overall level of service offered to customers.
