The Amazing Daily Life in the PCBA Workshop
In the magical little world of the PCBA workshop, hilarious and witty stories unfold every day.
1. A-Qiang and the “Acting-Up” Pick-and-Place Machine
A-Qiang is the workshop’s “spot-placement expert,” operating the pick-and-place machine with incredible skill. One day, a new colleague, Xiao-Li, curiously observed him. A-Qiang, while expertly setting the parameters, confidently explained, “This pick-and-place machine is like a super-precise ‘electronic expert,’ able to steadily place those small components onto the circuit board.”
Just then, the machine suddenly emitted a “beep beep” alarm. A-Qiang’s smile instantly froze. He quickly checked and found that a small feeder had “acted up” and jammed. Xiao-Li, trying to suppress a laugh, watched as A-Qiang awkwardly scratched his head: “Hey, it sometimes acts up, just like we sometimes take a nap.”
2. Xiao-Zhang’s Hunt for the “Tricky” Solder Joint
In the testing area, Xiao-Zhang was intently testing a newly mounted circuit board. He connected the board to the testing equipment, his eyes fixed on the data on the screen. Suddenly, he frowned, noticing that the resistance value of a certain solder joint was off. He muttered, “Strange, it shouldn’t be like this.”
So, he picked up a magnifying glass and carefully examined the solder joint. At that moment, his colleague Xiao Wang leaned over and joked, “Xiao Zhang, did you discover a hidden ‘secret’?” Xiao Zhang replied irritably, “Yeah, this solder joint is definitely up to something.”
After careful inspection, it turned out that a tiny drop of excess solder had accidentally been left during soldering, affecting the resistance value. Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “This guy almost fooled me.”
3. Master Zhao Teaches Xiao Sun the Art of Soldering
Meanwhile, in the manual soldering area, Master Zhao was universally recognized as a “soldering master.” He wielded the soldering iron with astonishing skill. A young apprentice, Xiao Sun, had always wanted to learn from Master Zhao. That day, Xiao Sun approached Master Zhao, watching him solder with eager eyes.
Old Zhao saw through Xiao Sun’s intentions and said with a smile, “Want to learn? Come on, I’ll teach you.” He first demonstrated the correct soldering posture and technique to Xiao Sun, then let him try it himself. Xiao Sun nervously picked up the soldering iron, but his hand trembled slightly.
Old Zhao patiently guided him, “Don’t panic, stay calm. You need to control the contact time between the soldering iron tip and the solder joint. Too long and the board will get burned; too short and it won’t solder properly.” Xiao Sun finally finished soldering one point, but when he picked it up, the solder joint was crooked. He smiled sheepishly, “Master, I’m far from good enough.” Old Zhao patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t be discouraged, just practice a few more times. I was like that at first too.”
4. The Warm Rhythm of the Workshop
In this PCBA workshop filled with electronic components and the roar of machines, these interesting little scenes unfold every day. Everyone grows amidst their busy work, overcomes one technical challenge after another with laughter, and sends each PCBA board, carrying wisdom and sweat, to its final “battlefield,” infusing various electronic products with “soul.”
