ENGINEERING SUPPORT FOR YOUR PCB PROCUREMENT

A printed circuit board may look flawless in CAD but still contain details that are critical to the manufacturing process. Insufficient clearances, unclear contours, missing specifications, critical drill holes or ambiguously defined tolerances can lead to queries, delays or quality risks at a later stage.

EVYTRA provides technical engineering support for your PCB procurement – from analysing your requirements and checking the Gerber data to verification by experienced CAM specialists. This makes your PCB procurement more technically robust, easier to compare and more predictable.

Technical support before ordering printed circuit boards

Technical support does not begin only when a problem arises during production. It is crucial to carefully check PCB data and requirements, particularly before placing an order.
EVYTRA helps procurement staff and technical teams to align specifications, manufacturing requirements and project objectives at an early stage. This helps to reduce the need for clarifications, enables quotes to be assessed more effectively and helps to avoid manufacturing risks later on.

Analysis of the requirements for your printed circuit board

Every printed circuit board has specific requirements in terms of material, layer structure, copper thickness, drill holes, surface finish, tolerances, testing requirements and end use.
EVYTRA analyses these requirements within the context of your project. In doing so, we consider not only individual technical specifications, but also how they interact with manufacturing, procurement, assembly and quality assurance.
This provides purchasers with a clear basis for comparing quotations. Technical teams receive a structured assessment of whether the requirements are described in a complete, unambiguous and production-friendly manner.

Gerber files checked against DRC

Gerber data forms the cornerstone of printed circuit board manufacturing. If errors or critical details are only identified after an order has been placed, this can lead to delays, additional costs or the need for technical coordination.
EVYTRA therefore checks Gerber files using DRC – that is, Design Rule Check. This process checks for production-critical aspects such as trace spacing, drill holes, contours, copper areas or potential rule violations.
This check helps to identify technical risks at an early stage and ensures that PCB procurement is based on a reliable data foundation.

Verification by experienced CAM specialists.

In addition to automated checks, the technical expertise of experienced CAM specialists is crucial. This is because not every anomaly is automatically an error – and not every risk is identified by standard rules alone.
Experienced CAM specialists verify your PCB data and assess whether it is suitable for manufacture, unambiguous and plausible. This allows technical queries to be clarified more effectively and helps to minimise potential problems before production is authorised.

Dimensional and Tolerance Control | EVYTRA

Dimensional and tolerance checks for greater planning reliability

Dimensions and tolerances have a direct impact on fit accuracy, assembly, component placement and the subsequent functionality of the assembly. Unclear or uncoordinated tolerances can lead to significant problems later in the process.
EVYTRA checks the relevant dimensions and tolerances as part of the technical inspection. The aim is to identify critical requirements at an early stage and to ensure that the printed circuit board is suitable for the project, the application and further processing.

Engineering Support for Procurement and Engineering

EVYTRA combines technical expertise in printed circuit boards with commercial procurement management. This is particularly helpful when buyers need to compare quotations and technical teams simultaneously need to ensure that the data is suitable for production.
This results in fewer misunderstandings, a better basis for decision-making and greater certainty before placing an order. Your PCB procurement will not only be more cost-effective, but, above all, technically more robust.

Please get in touch with us about your PCB data

Would you like to have your Gerber data checked, identify technical risks at an early stage, or ensure that requirements are met before placing an order?
Talk to EVYTRA about your PCB project. We will check your PCB data and provide you with engineering support before production is approved.

How does EVYTRA verify the data?

Once your Gerber data has been submitted, it will be processed in a timely and structured manner. As part of a Design Rule Check (DRC), we assess the feasibility of the design, drawing on our customer-specific expertise.
In the event of queries that fall outside the remit of either the manufacturer or EVYTRA, you will receive an Engineering Question (EQ) for final clarification.

Once all the details have been finalised, your design will be optimally adapted to the production processes of the relevant manufacturer. The production programmes created are then sent directly to the machines – and production can begin.

You can rely on our many years of experience, dating back to 1969, to ensure everything runs smoothly and delivers impressive results!

What our satisfied customers say

I also thank you very much for the top message and your support in this matter! We appreciate this very much. Through the early delivery, you have saved us a lot of trouble with our customer!

Also, love to your colleagues in the assembly of components, who made an extra effort for us! That's what I call top customer service.
