Red Wrote:JMR- Sorry, my fault. I misread your earlier post. ![]() The denso ECUs are certainly 'part' hand assembled as the final ops for fitting the power semiconductors require the fitting of some fiddly screws and washers/insulators. Some of the power semiconductors look like they may have been soldered by hand at the same time as the solder often has residues around the joints. The big awkward components like ICs may well have been placed by hand as they often have some legs bent on the solder side to hold them in place prior to (flow?) soldering. I would expect the main PCB soldering to have been done on a machine as it is so neat and even. Those little black ICs are also filled with black sealant and they take a fair amount of work with a scalpel to get them open. The one in the image above is the main 5V filter/regulator IC for the ECU. It also generates the /RESET signal for the MCU chip and a few other things. I've seen quite a few Denso ECUs and one thing they appear to do is have a manual inspection (pre solder?) rather than optical. The reason I say this is that the ICs in the ECU will usually have a little white pen streak on them. It's as if someone checked all the ICs went in the right way round and marked them by hand with a white mark. Maybe I'm wrong about this as I'm really only guessing. what a fun job that must have been... If labour was cheap they may well have had 20 workers (with a pen each) in a line. Each one checks their own specific IC orientation and marks it with a pen and the ECUs move down the line one step. This would be better than one person checking all 20 chips and going dizzy! |
