Z-AXIS Assembly Services
The types of services, and how well they are done, vary a lot from one manufacturer to the next.
Being able to do coil winding here is a huge advantage for prototypes, beta runs or low-volume production.
It also helps with high-volume jobs, where parts are usually procured from offshore for low cost but have a very long lead time.
Contract manufacturers can offer many services ancillary to printed circuit board assembly.
Taking advantage of “one stop shopping” can often reduce costs and lead times for customers. In this video we look at a few of these services including coil winding, laser cutting, vacuum forming and wire and cable assembly. (3:13)
