Advantages of using automation to assemble flex circuits with die-cut PSAs
More traditional methods of manual assembly can be cumbersome and time-consuming as these packages become smaller. In many cases, the accuracy required of placing adhesive components on these flexible circuits, or the actual placement of the flexible circuit itself, creates excessive scrap and rework, which makes it tedious if not impossible to repeat the process on a manual and cost-efficient basis. The use of precision-placement technology with die-cut pressure-sensitive adhesives creates a unique solution to reduce overall assembly costs while increasing throughput and quality. The combination of applying adhesive components to these flexible circuits, then placing the assembly onto the end component, creates an even greater possibility of generating the most benefits from this placement technology.
