Our Process

New Job BOM Review

Once a new job is received at Cirexx Assy, our dedicated team performs a thorough review of the customer's Bill of Materials (BOM). Package type and part # are compared to the customer's assembly drawing.

Traveler Planning

Once the BOM is gone through and corrections are made with customer input, our planning dept creates a process traveler of work instructions to process the job on the production floor and SMT pre-production machine programming.

SMT Programming

From here, the job goes into Machine programming. Cirexx Assembly uses GC-Place as our front-end pre-production tool to define locations and program our SMT pick and place line. This program also generates a stencil file that we then can create a stencil in order to load into our Deka fully automated screen printer.
Today's technology and dense SMT boards require the very best in stencil and SMT equipment. That's why we use aluminum laser cut stencils and our high-speed Vision controlled Deka automatic screen printer to do the job.

Kit Audit

At the same time we are planning the job and creating and SMT file and stencils, our kit audit team is performing a kit audit of the kit. Consigned kits require one day of kit audit in advance of turn time. Turnkey jobs require no kit audit time as we take ownership of that process in advance of turn time.

SMT Place

Pick and place of components commences. With our high speed pick and place equipment SMT time is generally no more than half a shift on any given job. Machine times and parts count though can vary from job to job.
