Our Products #5146406

REFLOW OVEN

Allows for good temperature control using the 7 zone, Air or Nitrogen can be used as required, Rails and Mesh conveyor allows different product to be run on the oven.

PCB STACKERUN-STACKER

Allows hands free operation of the SMD line and limits the handling and damage of the Bare and loaded PCBs.

SOLDER PASTE APPLICATION

Allows hand free solder paste application with controlled speed and pressure of squeegee head. Controlled separation speed allows fine pitch apertures to release well. Large size allows 18" x 24" boards to be printed.

SOLDER PASTE INSPECTION

Allows 100% Inspection of Solder Paste Application, Measure Pad Offset, X, Y, Height (Volume), Area. Most studies have shown that 90% of defects are caused by errors in solder paste application, 100% inspection prevents those errors. 100% traceability allows for solder paste application to be reviewed in determine if solder paste application was the cause of any product failure.

SMD PLACEMENT

Allows the most flexibility in NPI and Production speeds, 100% traceability in component placement, Intelligent feeder prevent setup errors and allow traceability, Visual alignment prevent any component damage.

SMD PLACEMENT WITH MATRIX TRAY FEEDER

Allows the most flexibility in NPI and Production speeds, 100% traceability in component placement, Intelligent feeder prevent setup errors and allow traceability, Visual alignment prevent any component damage. Multi Trays feeder allow multi part numbers in trays to be run on one setup.

The Pulse Extender Module was designed for an industrial controls customer. The client originally engaged Malibu Technologies to design a module they could use to interface a new sensor to their existing test system. The particular new sensor operated in a different manner than their system could handle. The purpose of this module was to convert the signal from the new sensor to a format compatible with their existing test system by extending the duration of each pulse out of the sensor. Being a controls project, it needed to be packaged in a manner consistent with that industry, i.e. no open circuit boards that could be damaged. The images provided are the result of our full product realization cycle.

With regards to the disciplines this particular design utilized, it required Electrical Engineering of the circuitry, Printed Circuit Board Design to take the schematic and convert it in to manufacturable form, Mechanical Design for the enclosure packaging, Software Engineering for the Micro-controller that controls the variable pulse length, and Validation Testing Services to make sure it conforms to the customers design criteria. We built prototype and production units for the customer.

The Automated Breakout Box, or Auto-BOB was designed for automotive and industrial controls customers. They use this device for testing new modules during development for automotive and industrial applications by simulating wire breaks and shorts to power, ground or a transient source. Where previously a manual test procedure was followed by technicians using detailed instructions to perform the proper testing, utilizing the Auto-BOB allows for automated, consistent and streamlined Validation Testing.

By automating these processes and making them repeatable and removing manual error from the equation, the Auto-BOB takes product design and validation to a new level of simplicity. The unit can be powered from 110220V AC or 12V DC, so it can be put in test vehicles for real world or on-road testing.

A teeth whitening company brought in a design that another manufacturer had produced for a Dental Light, which consumers use to whiten their teeth using a near UV LED that activates the whitening gel. Their design was for a double-sided SMD assembly with 23 different components and 50 different placements, making the manufacturing and BOM cost very high.

The client was looking to reduce the product cost, and by engaging the Malibu Technologies engineering group we were able to do a full redesign which had the same overall size and fit into the original product housing. Using standard, off-the-shelf components Malibu Technologies was able to limit the new design to a single-sided SMD assembly. The new design had only 13 components and 20 placements; effectively a >50% reduction in labour and a BOM cost reduction of >40% while maintaining the same color wavelength and brightness as the original design. An increase in efficiency also provided at least 10 whitening cycles on a single charge significantly better than the original. Reliability was also greatly increased by having fewer failure points within the circuitry.
