    How Would You Automate A Microwave Assembly Process?

    Sept. 9, 2014
    Automating the integrated assembly process can provide many cost and fabrication enhancing benefits. The increased consistency and material efficiency of automation also aids in producing more reliable assemblies.

    Automating the integrated assembly process can provide many cost and fabrication enhancing benefits. The increased consistency and material efficiency of automation also aids in producing more reliable assemblies. Highlighted in this gallery are a few automation stages (courtesy of Mercury Systems), which are part of the manufacturing of an integrated microwave assembly (IMA).
