Our Quality Management System
At CENSTRY PCBA, quality is not just a department — it's embedded in every process, every decision, and every product we deliver. Our comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) is built on the principles of continuous improvement, preventive action, and zero-defect manufacturing.
We maintain full traceability from raw material procurement through final shipment, ensuring that every board we produce can be traced back to its component lot, production date, operator, and test results. This level of traceability gives our customers complete confidence in product reliability.
Our quality team of 30+ dedicated professionals conducts over 50 inspection checkpoints throughout the manufacturing process, utilizing both automated and manual inspection methods to catch even the most subtle defects.
Testing & Inspection Methods
We employ a comprehensive suite of testing and inspection technologies to ensure every product meets the highest quality standards.
Flying Probe Test
Automated flying probe testing for bare PCB electrical verification. Ideal for prototypes and low-volume production with no fixture cost.
E-Test (Bed of Nails)
Fixture-based electrical testing for high-volume production. Fast, reliable 100% testing of every net on the PCB with dedicated test fixtures.
AOI Inspection
Automated Optical Inspection using high-resolution cameras and AI algorithms to detect solder defects, missing components, and placement errors.
X-Ray Inspection
3D X-ray inspection for BGA, QFN, and hidden solder joints. Detects voids, bridging, insufficient solder, and head-in-pillow defects.
ICT Testing
In-Circuit Testing verifies individual component values, orientation, and circuit connectivity. Ensures every component is correctly placed and functional.
Functional Test
Complete functional testing simulating real-world operating conditions. Validates the assembled PCB operates correctly as a complete system.
