Latham Industries, Trusted Partner in PCB Manufacturing Its meticulous approach to materials
nizes that staying at the forefront of technol- ogy is essential to meet the evolving de- mands of electronic manufacturing. Its state- of-the-art equipment is poised to address the challenges posed by the miniaturization and diversification of electronic components. For example, its screen printer uses a
laser solder paste monitor to maintain paste volume consistency, ensuring optimal print quality. The pick-and-place equipment fully inspects complex components like ball grid arrays (BGAs) before placement on the board, while also supporting ceramic column grid array (CCGA) packages. The automated optical inspection (AOI) system, with its 3D inspection and high- resolution camera, guarantees precise and efficient inspection. In addition, the reflow oven
— equipped with 10 heated zones and 2 cooling zones — handles even the most thermally chal- lenging assemblies. Latham added that this combination of advanced technology and equip- ment allows the company to de- liver reliable, cutting-edge PCB manufacturing.
Service Capabilities One of the key advantages of
partnering with Latham Indus- tries is its broad set of service ca- pabilities. The company serves as a one-stop shop CM, offering a range of services that includes PCB assembly, design, prototyp- ing, box build, rework and repair, cabling and materials manage- ment. This comprehensive suite of services streamlines the pro- duction process and minimizes the need for multiple vendors. When a project requires a variety of services, working with Latham Industries simplifies the supply chain, reducing potential risks in time, cost, and quality. Its prototyping services al-
low customers to test and vali- date their PCB designs before full-scale production, saving both time and resources. Additionally, it provides programming and functional testing to ensure the functionality and reliability of electronic components. If rework and repair services are needed, Latham Industries specializes in handling component, BGA, and other device rework and repairs.
Materials Management Efficient materials manage-
ment is crucial in any manufac- turing process. “Our materials management services encompass a range of activities, including Bill of Materials (BOM) analysis, alternative sourcing, traceability down to reference designators, parts obsolescence management, and cost reduction strategies through the product lifecycle,” adds Latham. “We offer stocking programs and cater to both turnkey and consigned materi- als, providing the flexibility that our customers need to successful- ly complete their projects.”
