PCB Transplant Technology | Circuit Board

The Transplant Technology refers to the process of replacing defective PCBs within a panel with good parts from another panel.

In PCB production, it's not always possible to completely eliminate errors, so during mass production, a small percentage of panels may contain faulty parts. Many modern assembly systems can skip over marked bad parts effortlessly. However, older systems may require manual intervention when dealing with panels of this nature, which is why some customers, often for economic reasons, prefer panels consisting entirely of good parts. Achieving this involves manufacturers disposing of panels with defective PCBs, which is not only outdated but also unnecessary and costly in today's resource-conscious and environmentally friendly era. In response to this challenge, LeitOn offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and highly efficient solution known as the Transplant Technology. This method involves extracting good parts from panels using a special "puzzle" milling technique and using them to replace defective parts in other panels.

The following image shows a conventional panel that has been assembled into a 100% panel using the transplant technology. The bridges used are barely noticeable to the naked eye.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that some bridges were milled and inserted using "puzzle bridges."
