View: 2

In semiconductor packaging, 0.005mm of verticality deviation will lead to a 60% surge in the rate 

of bonding line desoldering; 0.008mm of tilt in precision transmission components may make the

gear mesh noise exceed the standard by 12 decibels. Behind these bloody data is the quality pain 

that countless manufacturing enterprises are experiencing. This paper analyzes the real production

 cases and summarizes the 10 golden control techniques to help you increase the yield 

rate of the starting pole piece to 99%+.


Precise taming of temperature field


Case background

When an enterprise processes aluminum alloy starter piece, the yield fluctuates up to 18% between 

morning and afternoon, and the detection found that the temperature difference of 7℃ leads to the 

thermal elongation of 0.015mm of the machine column.

Pre-embedded 12 sets of temperature sensors in the machine bed, real-time adjustment of the flow

 rate of the oil cooling system.

In the Pearl River Delta, an electronics manufacturing base, the full implementation of these 10 technologies, the average 

monthly scrap amount of the starting pole piece plummeted from 2.3 million to 87,000 yuan. The test data of a 

precision processing enterprise in Yangtze River Delta shows that the CPK value of verticality has soared from 0.7 

to 2.3. These cases confirm that when the manufacturing precision enters the micron-level battlefield, the extreme 

control of every detail is reconstructing the quality boundary. Mastering these 10 swords of error control is to hold 

the key to open the door of high-end manufacturing.
