OUR SERVICES
At QPE, we offer an extensive and flexible service offering. Whether you require a full turnkey package, or specific support at a particular part of your process, we can provide bespoke solutions to suit your needs.
NPI & PROTOTYPING
Our engineers will ensure that all designs, materials, processes, programs and build packs are optimised for a complete and successful prototype and build. With our experience and expertise, you can rely on us to ensure every box is ticked when it comes to introducing a new product to a PCB assembly/manufacturing line.
MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
QPE's strategic material team is dedicated to sourcing the highest-quality and most cost-effective material solutions with workable lead times for the most specialist PCB projects. All material procurement complies with legislative requirements such as RoHS and REACH.
PCB ASSEMBLY
Using Surface Mount Technology, Through Hole Technology, or a combination of both, our highly experienced IPC-A-610 and
IPC-A-620 certified operators use state-of-the-art equipment to provide innovative and high-technology assembly solutions for low to medium batch production sizes.
AOI / X-RAY INSPECTION
Automated Optical Inspections and X-Ray Inspections meticulously scan assembled PCBs to ensure IPC and bespoke customer compliance. This helps to ensure reliability of the final product, whilst providing fault analytical data for ongoing process and efficiency improvement.
FUNCTIONAL & RELIABILITY TESTING
Our comprehensive testing process ensures the highest quality finished product. From customer-specific functional testing to flying probe testing, and many other testing types in between, our suite of off-shelf and customer-provided testing appliances and technologies will fulfill the most stringent of testing requirements.
CONFORMAL COATING
Coating an assembled PCB in a dielectric material will protect the circuitry from thermal extremes, chemicals, dust, moisture and physical damage, whilst remaining compact. The type of resin used will depend on the coating thickness requirements, which our engineers can advise on.
POTTING / ENCAPSULATION
Potting and encapsulation services protect PCBs by providing resistance to shock and vibration and sealing from external hazards. Our engineers will be able to guide you on which method and materials are optimal for your application.
FINAL ASSEMBLY / BOX BUILD
Our box build services include all aspects of wiring, assembly and testing. Our IPC-A-620 certified wiring operators provide a multitude of cable services including complex cable harnessing, specialised cable manufacture and panel wiring, along with final building into the chassis/frame.
DISTRIBUTION SUPPORT
We happily support our customers with our experience and knowledge of logistics. We can provide cost-effective solutions for distributing your final products to any location around the world, supported by all necessary legislative documentation.
