Contract Electronics Manufacturing

DESIGN

Zirkon helps customers integrate and develop detailed ideas or design briefs, offering valuable knowledge and expertise at every stage. This enables us to develop an end product that is evolved by experts and tailored to the customer’s exact requirements. This, combined with the excellent working relationships that we build with our customers, ultimately provides them with value-added solutions.

Our experts combine both traditional skills and vision with the latest CAD technology to develop new concepts, turn original early stage ideas into manufacturable designs, develop workable prototypes, and evolve and improve existing products. We work in partnership with external experts on items such as castings, metalwork, and plastic enclosures, which brings even more knowledge to the project.

Better engineered products mean increased productivity, greater efficiency and reliability, and a faster turnaround and lower unit costs for our customers.

There are various different methods that can be used in order to address electronics design. Zirkon’s expertise in design covers:

DEVELOPMENT

Zirkon’s development team, working along side the customer, has the expertise and capability to turn design concept into prototypes and test samples prior to volume manufacture. These are then fully tested in order to ensure that the product will achieve its function and fulfil the customer’s specific requirements.

This provides us with the opportunity to highlight any areas where the product requires further development, so that it can be re-addressed by the design and development team. It also ensures that variability is minimised when manufacturing.

This means that the final product is fully evolved and designed to give the best possible results.

Our development processes are:

MANUFACTURE

At Zirkon, we are committed to continuous investment in technology to provide our customers with solutions that have been produced using the latest hardware and techniques.

The result is high speed, intelligent production and reliable manufacturing processes, giving customers the confidence that their products are being produced to the highest possible specification, whether prototype or large batch.

We are a leading PCB (printed circuit board) assembler providing both through-hole and the latest surface-mount facilities. In addition to PCBs, we offer hand assembly, strip, crimp for harness assembly and complete unit build capabilities to ensure that the highest quality and most appropriate manufacturing combination is used.

We have the facility to fit in excess of 70,000 board components an hour, including BGA, QFP (fine pitch of just 0.013") and 0201 size components.

Our manufacturing capabilities are:

TEST

At Zirkon we offer computer controlled testing facilities to ensure that the final product specification meets with our customers’ requirements. We are dedicated to product quality throughout the whole manufacturing process. Where required, every manufactured unit is tested to a pre-agreed specification prior to release.

Our test capabilities are:

LOGISTICS

After completion of product manufacture and test, Zirkon continues to offer high levels of service to our customers. In order to transport the end product to its final destination as efficiently as possible, we can hold, kit, pack and direct ship products both nationally and to global locations from our central production facility. In addition, goods and packaging can be own-branded for our customers.
