Electronic Design and Development
 Our electronic design engineers have many years’ experience in all aspects of electronic design, including work in the following fields:
- Industrial
- Commercial
- Military
- Medical
Because of this experience our capability extends to electronic design of analogue, digital, RF, and power circuitry as well as both firmware and software.
At the beginning of a project we work with our clients to write a detailed project specification clearly stating the costs involved to achieve identifiable milestones ensuring that all requirements are identified and included in the first instance.
On some occasions, clients are unsure or do not have a clear idea of the viability of their design project. We believe that it is beneficial in these circumstances to undertake a feasibility study to be able to get to the stage where a project specification can be defined. A low cost, one day study can often establish the economic viability if an idea to prohibit unnecessary funds being spent.
Project management is a priority. During the course of development, regular feedback on the progress is presented to clients thus ensuring that the project remains on track and any issues can be discussed. When the project reaches an agreed milestone, it is formally signed off with the clients.
Our electronic design process is clearly focussed on design for manufacture. We have the capability for both prototyping and production which allows us to offer a fast response at a reasonable cost to our clients.
We believe that it is in the mutual interest of both ourselves and our clients, that all electronic design projects are commercially successful. It is our policy to ensure that clients have possession of all design and production data relating to their projects.
Our job is not over when we complete your project. As you would expect from a well-established business, we offer long term technical support and will always be available.
Manufacturing
 Here at PDL Services we have many years’ experience in PCB CAD layout; our CAD engineers each having working for at least 15 years within this field enabling us to produce high standard solutions to your specific requirements. We are able to seamlessly integrate CAD layout with prototype PCB production, component procurement, assembly and also volume production if you require. We undertake most CAD layout technology, accepting the most popular net-list formats and also use market leading CAD layout software. We are able to deliver from 24 hours upwards depending on your requirements.
Technologies available:
- Single and double sided
- Multi- layer
- Surface Mount Technology
- Mixed Technology
- Analogue/RF Designs
- Digital including high speed
- Matched Impedance
Other Information:
- Component procurement and kitting
- Wiring and box build
- Test and measurement tools
Precision Engineering
 At PDL-Services have the ability to turn your ideas into reality. With our skills and machinery we can assist in design, produce prototypes and follow this though to finished production items.
We have many years of experience in design and manufacture using CAD-CAM, Manual and CNC Machining enabling us to produce high standard solutions to your specific requirements.
With a highly skilled, flexible workforce that is able to operate to maximize the utilisation of resources. We can ensure the highest quality components, at the right price, delivered at the right time.
Our services include:
- CNC Milling
- CNC Turning
- CNC Turn/Milling
- Design and Programming
- One Off Prototypes
- Batch and Volume Production
We can generate program data from the following file types:
- IGES
- Autocad (.DXF .DWG)
- Solidworks
- Many More
Materials we machine:
- Tool Steels
- Stainless Steel
- Alloys
- Copper
- Brass
- Plastics
Printed Circuit Board Assembly
We offer contract electronic assemblies focusing on small and medium batch sizes and offer a range of turnarounds from 3 working days upwards depending on the client’s requirements.
By focusing on small and medium batch sizes it allows us to create an efficient manufacturing environment by using the best appropriate technology within our bespoke manufacturing process.
The need to constantly process many different production batches enables us to maintain a large capacity to set up both new and repeat jobs and at the same time to continually refine our ability to do so effectively.
Capability
The quantities we are able to manufacture range from single boards to many thousands again depending on requirements.
We are able to offer both through hole and SMD assembly due to the skills of our technicians and the assembly equipment we have on site, from 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 2515 etc. Chips to SOP, PLCC, QEP, BGA. CSP, connector and unusual shaped components.
Equipment on site includes:
- Dek 248 Stencil Printer
- Quad 4C SMD pick and place machine
- Samsung CP40CV pick and place machine
- Diagnosys Scanpoint 50 AOI
- Quad QCR Reflow oven
