Process Flow of Precision Sheet Metal

图片
  The sheet metal processing technology is complex and diverse, mainly including cutting, blanking, bending, etc. At the same time, it also provides services such as laser cutting, spraying screen printing, and assembly according to the customer's drawing design requirements. The following is the basic process of JR Sheet Metal Processing.   1.Material Application. According to the order, the engineer calculates the size and type of the required raw materials, and applies to the warehouse for requisition for subsequent product production.   2. Blanking. Technical engineers design according to customer drawings, decompose and expand all parts graphics. According to the size and thickness of the material, the workers use shears/laser cutting and other equipment to cut from large plates to obtain materials of appropriate sizes for each part. If it is a batch order, the punch die can be customized and die-cut directly into the unfolded figure of the part.When doing the blanking of this

CCL Prototype Printed Circuit Boards

图片
  Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are made of non-conductive substrates coated in conductive laminate copper sheets. The copper serves as the base material from which pathways connecting electronic components are carved, and the non-conductive substrate anchors the whole device. As a unit, a PCB board is relatively tough and can withstand a fair amount of handling. Because it can support a range of electrical components and layouts, it’s found at the heart of numerous technological products, including computers. Because of the complex systems PCBs ultimately manage and serve, they have to be carefully built and tested. Part of this process includes the manufacture of a PCB prototype—a model that can be tested as a stand-in for the eventual product—that is used to look for design, mechanical, and electrical flaws. Although PCB prototypes are used in testing, there are differences in the way they are manufactured, the purposes they serve, and the materials used. Plastic PCB Prototyping Tec

JRPanel offers circuit testing on 100% of our printed electronics components.  Vision System Testing JRPanel is equipped with a variety of custom design vision systems for part inspection. The systems ut

JRPanel’s Capability of Reverse Engineering Membrane Switches

图片
  There are two main types of engineering: forward and reverse. Forward engineering is the prototypical process whereby a product moves from an abstract idea to a physical object. This can involve many processes depending on the final product, including drawing approvals, material selection, and choosing a cost-effective production method. Ideally, documentation is organized and protected at every step of the way.   Reverse engineering, on the other hand, takes a previously-produced product and works backward through the process to create design documentation. Reverse engineering is typically required in instances where there are no available drawings, to replace lost documentation, move a prototype to mass production or recreate a product that is no longer available on the market.   Reverse engineering a membrane switch, molded rubber keypad or graphic overlay starts with taking an existing sample part, extracting design data, and creating an improved copy of the engineered keypad. Th

What Gases Are the Four-in-one Gas Detectors Mainly Used to Detect?

图片
  The membrane panels produced by JRPanel are often used in detection equipment such as gas detection instruments. Among them, the four-in-one gas detector has a higher usage rate because it can detect multiple gases at the same time. So what kinds of gases can this gas detector detect? The four-in-one gas detector mainly detects combustible gas, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen. These four gases are standard four-in-one gas detectors, suitable for many places. The chip technology of its special head greatly improves the response time and stability of gas detection, and greatly improves the service life of the battery. When employees enter a confined space, such as reaction tanks, storage tanks or containers, sewers or other underground pipelines, railway tank cars, cabins, tunnels, etc., on-site gas detection must be performed before entering, and must also be performed outside the confined space. At this time, a variety of gas detectors with built-in pumps must be selecte

4 Main Types of Plating Methods in PCB production

图片
  There are four main types of plating methods in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) production: finger-plated plating, through-hole plating, reel linkage selective plating and brushing plating.   Here's a brief introduction:   1. Finger-plated plating Rare metals need to be plated on the board edge connectors, board edge joint or gold fingers to provide lower contact resistance and higher abrasive resistance. This technique is known as finger-plated or protruding partial plating. Gold is often plated on the inner nickel coating of board edge connectors’ protruding contact head. The gold finger or the board edge protruding partial use the manually or automatically plated technology. The gold that plated on the contact head or gold finger has been replaced by rhodanise, lead plating and plating button. The process of finger-plating plating is as follows: a. Strip the coating to remove the tin or the tin-lead coating of the protruding contact head. b. Rinse with water c. Scrub with abrasive

How to Make PCBs by Yourself at Home--Method and Process of Etching PCBs

图片
  The PCBs can be single-layer (one copper layer), double-layer (two copper layers) or multilayer. The conductors on different layers are connected with plated through holes called vias. Advanced PCBs may contain components embedded in the substrate-capacitors, resistors or active devices.   Have you ever thought about making PCBs at home? After reading this article, I hope it will increase your confidence in self-made PCBs. Step 1. Design Before trying to make it by hand, please remember that we need a good circuit design first. 1. Draw circuit schematics on graph paper or simulation programs such as MultiSim or Eagle CAD. The schematic should contain detailed descriptions of all components. Remember that the basic form of the schematic will be drawn on the circuit board. For the drawing of the schematic, you can refer to the article we published earlier. 2. If you are using a simulation program, test the circuit thoroughly in a simulation environment. If you are not using a simulatio

The Composition of Golden and Silver Ink and Its Application in the Manufacture of Membrane Switch

图片
  What is the composition of gold and silver ink? How is it applied in the manufacture of membrane switches? JRPanel will explain to you today: like other inks, gold and silver inks are mainly composed of pigments and binders. Simply put, golden inks It is made of gold powder and gold oil, and silver ink is made of aluminum powder and silver oil.   1.  Pigment   The pigment in golden ink is gold powder, which is actually powder made of copper and zinc alloy. The content of zinc in gold powder is generally about 8% to 30%. Among them, the color of gold ink with zinc content between 8% and 12% is reddish, and it is customarily called red gold. The color of gold ink with a zinc content between 20% and 30% is more blue, generally called cyan.   In membrane switch printing, gold powder of 800 mesh is generally used for the deployment of golden ink, and the surface of the gold powder particles are mostly covered with surfactants, which can be well combined with the resin binder. Silver powde

Do You Know How Important Graphic Overlay Is in a Membrane Switch?

  A membrane switch is the interface that connects the user to a machine, device, or other types of equipment. It is the control panel, facilitating functionality and enabling the user to control the product.   The graphic overlay is one of the most important aspects of the membrane switch. The graphic overlay is the faceplate to the membrane switch and often the product itself. The graphic overlay defines a product ’ s identity and is the visual layout and design of the interface that determines how easy or difficult a device is for the average user to operate.   JRPanel is in a class of its own when it comes to the design and production of high quality Graphic Overlays, Labels, and Nameplates. We have been manufacturing overlay products for a wide array of customers and industries for over 35 years. A graphic overlay not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of a product or device, but it can also provide environmental protection. A graphic overlay can also be applied to an assembly
