Enhancing Soldering Excellence with Precision and Compliance
IMPROV specializes in guiding organizations through the implementation and compliance of CQI-17 Special Process Assessment for Soldering Systems. This globally recognized standard is critical for ensuring high-quality soldering practices, particularly in industries where reliable electronic connections and assemblies are paramount.
Overview of CQI-17
The CQI-17 Special Process Assessment focuses on improving soldering processes and minimizing defects to achieve robust electronic assemblies. It sets forth guidelines for process control, defect reduction, and quality assurance, covering methods like wave soldering, reflow soldering, and hand soldering.
Core Components of CQI-17
- Process Design and Qualification: Develop and validate soldering processes that ensure consistent performance.
- Equipment Maintenance and Calibration: Implement robust maintenance schedules to keep soldering equipment in optimal condition.
- Material Control: Manage and inspect soldering materials such as fluxes, solder paste, and cleaning agents to maintain quality.
- Defect Analysis and Resolution: Identify, analyze, and mitigate common soldering defects such as voids, bridging, or cold joints.
- Operator Training: Equip staff with the skills and expertise needed to execute soldering processes with precision.
