Continuous improvement requires change, something many companies seek to avoid. That’s part of what makes Z-AXIS different from other electronic manufacturers. Learn how our culture of continuous improvement is helping us to improve quality, add capacity, and master...
Some electronic contract manufacturers treat their suppliers like adversaries instead of partners. That’s not the case at Z-AXIS, a full-service electronic design and manufacturing company in Phelps, New York (USA).If you’re a Z-AXIS customer, or...
Z-AXIS uses thermal profiling to optimize our soldering process and, unlike other manufacturers, creates a thermal profile for each board. Thermal Profiling for Each Board During reflow and wave soldering, printed circuit board assemblies are conveyed through an oven...
Electronics manufacturing uses significant amounts of compressed air and nitrogen. Buying these work gases is expensive, and liquid nitrogen isn’t ideal because the tanks are small and the nitrogen must continuously boil off. That’s why it’s important to find smart,...
Z-AXIS simulates electronic circuits with SPICE. This graphical software lets us create schematics and quickly see voltage, current, power dissipation, and other results without physically building, probing, and scoping a circuit. The process begins by creating a...
Solder is a metal alloy that forms mechanical and electrical connections between components and printed circuit boards. It’s used with flux, a chemical that cleans surfaces and promotes wetting. Z-AXIS uses solder that’s either leaded or lead-free. Leaded solder is...
