04

Conformal Coating

Protective coating support for circuit boards used in technical equipment and field applications.

05

Rework, Repair & Modification

Controlled board modifications, troubleshooting, repair, SMT rework, and desoldering services based on customer documentation.

06

Functional Testing

Functional testing performed around documented assembly and performance requirements.

07

AOI Inspection

Automatic optical inspection supports consistent board-level quality and repeatability.

08

Kit Supplied or Turnkey

Assembly of customer-supplied kits or purchasing of customer-specified components against the approved BOM.

09

Integrated Box-Build Services

Production support that extends beyond circuit boards into complete integrated assemblies.

10

Recent investment

Expanded SMT capacity with Essemtec PUMA Ultra

Core Assemblies recently added a new Essemtec PUMA Ultra pick-and-place system to increase SMT capacity, improve flexibility, and support increasingly complex high-mix PCB assembly programs.

Advanced SMT capabilitySupports increasingly complex and miniaturized components with improved speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
High-mix flexibilityBuilt for prototypes, low- and medium-volume work, and larger scheduled orders where requirements can change.
Prototype through full productionSupports customers from prototype development through production builds.
Continued investmentReflects Core’s focus on precision, dependable quality, and long-term customer success.

SMT Placement

PUMA Ultra and FLX2010 pick-and-place systems support flexible, high-mix PCB assembly.

AOI Inspection

Mirtec automatic optical inspection supports repeatable board-level quality review.

Reflow & Wave Solder

Reflow and wave solder resources support both SMT and through-hole production needs.

Cleaning & Pre-Bake

Aqueous cleaning and pre-bake processes support controlled assembly preparation.

Rework & Desoldering

Dedicated rework and temperature-controlled soldering support modifications and repairs.

Programming & Forming

Programming and lead-forming equipment help complete specialized assembly requirements.
