Electronic Manufacturing

Lupton supports sourcing and program review for printed circuit board and box-build assemblies. Include custom cable assemblies and wire harness requirements when they are part of the finished assembly. Depending on volume, technical requirements, documentation, timing, and program fit, the manufacturing path may involve domestic or offshore production. Certifications, registrations, capabilities, and capacity must be verified for the specific manufacturing source before quote or award.

Depending on the selected manufacturing source and program requirements, relevant capabilities may include:

• New Product Introduction (NPI) Center
• Domestic and Off Shore (LCR) Production Capability
• Automated optical inspection
• Full staff of engineers skilled in Product Design and Design for
• Manufacturability and Testability
• Complete sub-assembly or “box build” contract manufacturing including custom packaging
• Prototype development through high volume production
• In – House Conformal Coating and Potting capabilities
• MRP electronic inventory control system and “bonded” inventory
• SMT/THT mixed technology assembly including SMT ultra fine pitch,
• package on package (POP) and ball grid array capability
• High speed robotic equipment as well as skilled staff that provide detailed hand assembly
• Custom tailored testing processes including testing for electrical continuity, MDA (manufacture defect analysis) and ATE in-circuit full functional test capability
• BGA and Micro BGA assembly and X-Ray inspection
• Depot and full warranty repair service
• Facilities that were designed and built to maintain the cleanest, most static and dust-free environment

Capabilities that may be evaluated for a specific manufacturing source include:

• ISO 13485 certification, when required and verified for the selected manufacturing source
• Surface-mount assembly experience
• Fine-pitch assembly appropriate to the design
• Component-size ranges appropriate to the design
• Ball Grid Array
• Radio Frequency enabled product expertise

Programs may range from quick-turn prototypes to higher-volume offshore production, subject to source fit, current capacity, and a complete RFQ review.
