Manufacturing Services / Special Rework & Repair

PCB rework will always be a part of our lives. We see it in the form of engineering change orders, product upgrades and revisions, general automated process errors, etc. Rework is one of the most unpredictable and variable parts of the PCB assembly process. In fact, no other single function in the assembly process negatively affects profitability more than rework.
