SMT process
After this stage it is time for the first manual inspection. It's a step that is managed by hand. A visual inspection is the routine here.
And next to the first QA on eyesight, there are also some component checkpoints, and sure... not everything passes the tests.
Here we can actually see an employee operating a Miko-Kings TR-518FE board tester which checks components electrically. This was the SMT stage gents. The PCBs have now been equipped with the more sensitive SMD parts and chipset.
