|   MANUFACTURING AND TEST 
 Manufacturing Facility Our Porirua factory offers the latest manufacturing technologies, including advanced laser-guided surface mount and axial/radial component placement machinery, reflow ovens and wave-soldering equipment. We are able to provide lead-free manufacturing capability.  We offer a flexible manufacturing and assembly process, routinely running small and mid-size batches from one to several hundreds. Our facility includes a full mechanical workshop that can provide specific jigs or fixtures to assist this process.    
 Our skilled production staff can manufacture, preform and manually insert a range of components or hardware, including wire assemblies. Full PCB repair service is also available if required. Exicom also specialise in the manufacture of custom-made electrical and RF cables. Exicom's mechanical and process engineering staff support the manufactured items and also the equipment used in the process. Full Bills Of Material and work/assembly instructions can be written for all requirements. Test Facility Our in-house test facility is first-class, with an extensive range of calibrated instrumentation, automated test equipment and climate-control chambers (See footnote below) We have highly skilled staff including test technicians and test engineering personnel to ensure test and diagnosis of electronic circuitry from system to component level.   
 Climate-control Chambers Exicom have three environmental chambers for use in test and servicing of manufactured equipment: Modified 20-foot shipping container, rated -20°C to +60°C (without humidity control)Two heat chambers (approximately size of a domestic fridge) rated -30°C to +70°C with full humidity control
 Screened Room for Rx testing Exicom has a fully-screened room that is used to test Receiver modules (typically measuring -120dBm input level) Contract Manufacturing Home Page   |
