Gigabyte Technology just took a tour of its factory in Taiwan to give a brief overview of the company, as well as show the work of its factories. Writing a company review is boring and not exciting, so I suggest looking at the entire production cycle of the company's motherboards.
This is what the conveyor line looks like - you can read more about why it is behind glass ...
Everything should be clean on the conveyor lines as in hospitals - that is why they are behind the glass. All workers are required to wear special dressing gowns, gloves, and shoe covers on their feet - journalists got off with shoe covers only :) By the way, the photo shows an air shower to get rid of all the dust before it hits the conveyor line.
The production of motherboards begins with surface mounting - “gluing” various chips to PCBs (from printed circuit boards). The photo shows a machine for applying solder paste to a PCB.
The board just printed is ready for further testing :) Passing along the conveyor belt, various chips are applied to the board.
By the way, the chips are delivered to Gigabyte by various companies in the form of tapes.
But the personification of progress - the High Speed Mounter - mounts precisely and quickly (~ 10 pcs / s) mounts different elements on the board:
But despite the accuracy of all operations, you can’t do without checking - all of a sudden, the technique did something wrong. However, the visual control will be carried out, hmm, also a technique :)
After passing the line with the installation machines, the boards enter the oven (did you notice the name?), Where they heat up (~ 200 ° C) and the elements installed on the board are soldered.
Now the laborious process has begun. After the glue hardens, the boards are checked by the controllers (~ 99% of women) for the absence of defects manually ...
After checking “by eye”, a series of automated tests for board performance begins.
Another, final, automated check of the correct arrangement of elements - after this procedure, the board will go to another floor, where the final assembly process will take place.
Again, some details complement female hands ... By the way, did you notice that jobs are located far from each other? Yes, you can’t communicate here :(
All are now the motherboard is similar to the familiar to us the goods:
And this man attaches to the board the various connectors:
You're just a little bit ...
In order to make the presentation just need to polish board, so that no one injured ...
... and "bolted" to the radiator board:
board already ready and it remains to check ... for the last time:
Yes, the motherboard has passed the test. Now it is given a presentation (packaged, equipped with cables, driver disks, etc.):
Well, then these same motherboards fall into our hands ... :)
