Manual Assembly

Clean Room

The manual assembly lines in Clean Room #1 are designed to give our customers flexibility for prototype and low volume production. Natel typically uses these lines for high-reliability military and space hybrids where the hybrid construction or volume do not lend themselves to automatic assembly. Although these are manual lines, the equipment is arranged so that there is a continuous flow of parts from one end to the other end. Also, the line is balanced so that each station produces the same quantity of hybrids per day.

  • Housed in a Class 10K clean room
  • Relative humidity and temperature controlled
  • Extensive ESD controls
  • Custom automatic and manual test
  • Four separate manual assembly lines

Active Laser Trim

  • 4 ESI active laser trim stations
  • Computer controlled signal and load application
  • Computer driven trim with active electrical parameter feedback
  • Associated support equipment utilizing GPIB instruments and VXI technology
