SMT Placement
PUMA Ultra and FLX2010 pick-and-place systems support flexible, high-mix PCB assembly.
How we work
Core works with engineering and purchasing teams to clarify requirements early, align the production scope, and keep the path from quote review through delivery practical and visible.
Production resources
Trained technicians and practical production equipment support reliable PCB assembly from prototypes and 25-to-100-board orders through repeat runs of 2,000 units or more.

PUMA Ultra and FLX2010 pick-and-place systems support flexible, high-mix PCB assembly.
Mirtec automatic optical inspection supports repeatable board-level quality review.
Reflow and wave solder resources support both SMT and through-hole production needs.
Aqueous cleaning and pre-bake processes support controlled assembly preparation.
Dedicated rework and temperature-controlled soldering support modifications and repairs.
Programming and lead-forming equipment help complete specialized assembly requirements.
A practical RFQ process
Share your BOM, drawings, schematics, component specifications, supplied-kit details, and assembly notes.
Align on quantities, timeline, materials, and quality needs.
Define materials, SMT, through-hole, testing, coating, blanket-order, or scheduled-release needs.
Move through assembly, inspection, and required testing.
Complete the run and deliver to the agreed requirements.
Customer-focused manufacturing
Core Assemblies began with assembly work performed from home and was incorporated in 1988. As demand grew, the woman-owned company expanded into a dedicated Gilford facility. Family members have contributed throughout its history, including the creation of the company’s circuit-inspired logo.

Quality assurance
Supporting military/aerospace, medical, instrumentation, and industrial equipment customers with inspection criteria aligned with IPC-A-610 Class 2, plus AOI and functional testing for customer-specific requirements.
