  • ENGINEERING YOURSELF INTO a CORNER with a PCB DESIGN by Angie Brown, PCB Product Manager Epec Engineered Technologies
    ENGINEERING YOURSELF INTO A CORNER WITH A PCB DESIGN By Angie Brown, PCB Product Manager Epec Engineered Technologies As a manufacturer of printed circuit boards, we see many different flavors of PCBs. The complexity of a printed circuit board has changed greatly over the years. In this article, we will discuss the top design issues we see repeatedly that cause process challenges, scrap, and fallout. Data Review During pre-production design review, engineering will use a preset parameter for automated inspection. Prior to inspection beginning all the circuit board layers are checked for alignment to each other and to the supplied drill and non-plated drill. Verification of a 1-to-1 outline is also needed for measurement, data to datum checks, and copper checks. Often a 1:1 Gerber file outline is not supplied and must be created by engineering or copied from a layer if there is one supplied on the Gerber layers. A complete dimensioned drawing or fabrication drawing is key to programming and design for manufacturing checks. A Gerber outline should be exact to the desired PCB profile. It should include a hole to board edge dimension X, Y a hole chart, any cutout features, or slots. Every parameter checked in preproduction CAM somehow relates back to the outline. You can see (Figure 1) the importance of having a 1:1 Gerber file outline. This PCB has many cuts creating the profile, without a supplied outline and a dimensional drawing it would be difficult to interpret what the actual should be. We can measure and create a routing profile from the 1:1 Gerber file.

  • Top Design Patterns Wayne Nelson
    ToP Design Patterns Wayne Nelson In a nutshell The ToP Trainers Network in the US has launched an initiative to work on facilitating ToP processes in a virtual environment. The team working on tools for virtual ToP facilitation has been introduced to “Collaborative Engineering” and the idea of “Design Patterns” for facilitation. We want to identify ToP Design Patterns, the small, distinct facilitation processes, the building blocks we use in designing ToP facilitation processes; the “DNA” of our practice. Once we have identified these ToP Design Patterns, we can identify the virtual functionality and the face-to-face and virtual facilitation tools that are best suited to supporting ToP facilitation. It will very likely be a suite of tools rather than a single application. The quoted material is from documents listed in “References” and identified by number. Collaboration We work with groups; all kinds of groups in all kinds of situations. We facilitate collaborative processes that help them achieve their group work objectives. People frequently join forces to accomplish goals through collaboration that they could not achieve as individuals. By collaboration we mean joint effort toward a goal. Collaboration is essential for value creation and often used for mission critical tasks. A collaboration process is a series of activities performed by a team to accomplish a goal. (1) Collaboration Engineering A new field is emerging. Bob Briggs, who we met through IAF has been a major driving force in this area. He has worked on this from an academic perspective and through the development of “Group Support Systems’, a computer application to assist the facilitation process.
