Design for AutomationIt is said that 75% – 90% of manufacturing costs for an electronic product are determined at the design stage. You have, therefore decided to adopt a design for automation (DFA) philosophy for the mass production of your electronic product. Initially you have decided to research the following parameters:? Part Compliance? Modularity? Standard Tooling? PCB issues regarding insertion/onsertion and component fixing? SMD issues? Assembly methods? Interconnection? Solderabilty and soldering methods for differing component typesFollowing your investigation you intend to apply relevant techniques to the manufacture of your product.Guidance notesRemember you do not necessarily have to solve the problem described. You do, however, need to understand and be able to explain how you would approach the problem.Learning OutcomesFollowing this PBL cycle you should be able to:? Explain why electronic design should take into account the manufacturing process.? Discuss the concepts of part compliance, modularity and standard tooling.? Discuss relevant PCB issues with regard to component type and automated assembly? Choose appropriate interconnection methods? Choose appropriate assembly methods and soldering techniques for use with differing component types.? Justify the above choices.ResourcesLibrary Catalogueo Electronics Manufacturing ProcessesLanderso Surface Mount Technology for Concurrent Engineering and Manufacture.F.
