Production Facilities

Where your product gets built, tested and validated before it goes to volume.

Every ARG product is built, inspected and validated in-house before it goes to our volume manufacturing partners in Pennsylvania and Guadalajara. DVT and PVT happen on this floor — the same fixtures, the same process, just scaled up.

PCBA Assembly

  • Automated stencil printer
  • Pick & place machine — SMT line
  • Reflow oven
  • Manual pick & place station for prototypes and mixed assemblies
  • Hot-air rework and precision soldering / desoldering stations
  • In-house programming — JTAG, SWD, USB and UART production flash tools

Capacity: ~50 boards/week in-house

Mechanical Shop

  • Carbide CNC mill — aluminium, plastics and composite machining
  • FDM 3D printer (Lulzbot) — rapid plastic prototyping
  • SLA 3D printer — fine-detail resin parts
  • Laser cutter — sheet metal, acrylic and composite panels
  • Sheet metal brake, forming and finishing tools
  • Drill press
  • Low-volume injection moulding with aluminium tooling for short-run plastic parts

Aluminium, plastics, composites — same-day iterations

Test & Measurement

  • Sigilent SDS5104X — 1GHz, 5GSa/s 4-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope with 16-ch logic analyser
  • Sigilent SDG6052X — 500MHz pulse / arbitrary waveform generator
  • Sigilent SSA3032X — 9kHz to 3.2GHz spectrum analyser
  • DC bench power supplies, precision DMMs and LCR meter
  • Environmental and stress testing capability

Full RF, digital and power validation — no external lab wait

Quality Control & Inspection

  • Digital microscope and stereo microscope for solder joint inspection
  • Automated optical inspection (AOI) capability
  • First Article Inspection (FAI) process at each revision change
  • Component traceability — lot codes, date codes and AVL management
  • Non-conformance and corrective action process for all production builds
  • Pass/fail logging with serial number traceability

IPC-A-610 workmanship standards across all builds

From this floor to volume

In-house DVT

First builds, rapid iteration, engineer oversight on every board. Issues caught in hours.

In-house PVT

Production process validated here — assembly yield, test coverage, calibration and packaging before any volume commitment.

Volume scale-up

Same fixtures, same process handed to Allen Integrated (PA) or our Guadalajara satellite office for cost-effective volume runs.
