DBS Incorporated utilizes state of the art equipment in your assembly manufacturing. We have built a wide range of products for numerous companies over the past 12 years and our customers range in size from start up to Fortune 100. This depth and diversity of our customer base enables us to stay on the leading edge of manufacturing.

DBS has succeeded simply by providing consistently high quality products and services, and by constantly improving facilities, processes, and personnel. When you become a customer of DBS you will have access to many manufacturing services and levels of expertise. DBS can also help you to:

• Avoid capital expenditures in equipment and inventory, thus freeing up capital to fuel growth.
• Improve cash flow and return on investment.
• Reduce market introduction lead time.
• Utilize and manage your time and efforts for core competencies.
• Expand your manufacturing engineering expertise.
• Contain your manufacturing costs.
• Relieve and balance your manufacturing loads.

The Competitive Difference

Unlike the competition DBS is a true turn-key manufacturer. We have within our tech group a complete printed circuit board manufacturing facility. This enables us to have control of the manufacturing process from the raw material of the circuit board to the final assembled product. The competition generally has to outsource the printed circuit board, and this usually results in a sacrifice of quality and /or lead time. Basically, we build per your engineering specs from the printed circuit board up.

Standard of Quality

At DBS, quality begins in the planning stage of every program. Requirements are analyzed and procedures are implemented to adhere to the unique standard set by each customer. Quality control is emphasized from receiving through component testing, production, final testing, and shipping to insure delivery of defect-free products. We know your organization is zero defect manufacturing oriented; so is DBS. Since OUR CUSTOMER'S PRODUCTS ARE OUR ONLY BUSINESS, we build each product as if it were our own. The keys to quality at DBS are our people and the equipment. DBS has a full compliment of experienced contracting, purchasing, production planning, and quality control personnel dedicated to support the efficient, high quality, turnkey manufacturing of your products. Quality certification is also a top priority at DBS. We are currently UL approved and are moving rapidly toward ISO 9000 certification.

Manufacturing Facility

The DBS manufacturing facility consists of 10,000 square feet of modern production and office space. The production areas have been specially treated with a mil-spec, anti-stat surface compatible to those found at IBM, Xerox, etc. Sizable assembly line investments have focused on automation, optics and microprocessor controls.

Through-Hole Capabilities

Everyone at DBS is quite proud of our equipment. Brand new Universal insertion machines are the heart of our through-hole assembly with rates from 16,000 components per hour on the axial lead sequencer/inserters to 9,200 components per hour on the radial lead sequencer/inserters (the industry's fastest). The equipment comes with in-line sequencing which enables JIT assembly by eliminating off-line component handling. A customer's bill of material is stored in the computer and can be downloaded to any machine at a moments notice. Each component inserted is tested by the expanded range verifier which provides on-line confirmation of component sequence, value, and polarity; thus assuring proper assembly.

Surface Mount Capabilities

At the heart of our surface mount assembly is a Quad system. Designed for speed and flexibility, the system features a placement rate range up to 7,000 components per hour depending on board and component type. It handles components from 0402 to PLCC 48 and up to plastic lead chip carriers (PLCCs) measuring 2.2". It centers components "on the fly" using a Laser Align Optical Component Centering System and can be configured to perform a variety of surface mount production tasks. The Laser Align systems provides accurate, non-contact component measurement between pickup and placement. Components are correctly centered at the designated placement location to within +.001". Up to six heads can be controlled by a single PC simultaneously, as an integrated surface mount production system. Consistent placement of 15 mil lead-spaced devices is standard.

Testing

Summary

When you expect the best, DBS should be your contract manufacturer. Contract manufacturing is our only business. We have no proprietary products of our own; therefore, we are not in competition with you and your design remains confidential. We are not a subsidiary of a large conglomerate nor does any one large customer dominate our plant capacity or our management resources. Because contract manufacturing is not a sideline with us, your assemblies are the most important products that we produce.
