Flash drives or USB drives have appeared in mass use not long ago, but we can no longer do without them. These little gadgets make life so much easier. Therefore, the manufacture of flash drives, as well as the production of memory cards, is a profitable business. Let's try to figure out what equipment is needed for the production of flash drives.

Another profitable business- this, including creative ones, created with his own hands from various materials.

flash drive manufacturing process

A flash drive or USB flash drive is a storage device for transferring and saving data.

The flash drive consists of 2 parts:

• electronic data storage device;
• body made of various materials.

The production of flash drives consists of several stages:

• purchase of textolite plates;
• placing plates inside special cassettes;
• applying solder paste (it attaches chips and other elements); the paste is applied with a special device DEK Infinity;
• the process of optical control of the drive (checking the quality of work);
• placement of chips using a machine;
• installation of USB connectors on special equipment;
• soldering parts (plates are sent to the oven);
• creation of AOI drives (Automatic optical check for defects);
• plate cutting;
• testing for writing and reading data;
• placement of cut plates inside the housings;
• applying relevant information to the case;
• retail packaging of the finished product.

Any equipment for the production of flash drives can produce more than one model. The engineer simply enters the data he needs and receives a specific model. You can even build a custom flash drive business.

Often, manufacturers prefer to buy ready-made chips for drives in countries such as China and Taiwan, and pay attention only to the manufacture of cases.

Case manufacturing

The most popular materials for the production of cases:

• metal;
• rubber;
• wood;
• plastic;
• silicone (used more often than others).

Each material requires its own production and assembly process, which means different equipment.

Buy a special machine:

If the production plant is large scale, you need about 9 production lines. About 10 million pieces will be produced per month.

Case manufacturing process:

1. Matrix production.

The matrix will give shape to the material from which the case will be made. In order to manufacture matrices, buy a special high-precision laser machine. Order such machines from Taiwan.

The cost is about - 3,900,000 rubles.

Productivity - 1 matrix per day.

Some manufacturers also prefer to buy matrices ready-made.

1. Preparation of matrices for installation in machines for casting.

1. Working with raw materials

Raw materials are of 2 types:

• primary pet granulate;
• secondary raw materials - material obtained by grinding plastic, which remains after the completion of the manufacture of cases. This type is less expensive.

Raw materials are melted with the help of furnaces to a homogeneous mass. The mass is poured into matrices under high pressure, thereby giving the desired shape. The material is then left to cool.

Painting and drawing images

It is done on special printers or using self made professionals using stencils.

There are 3 ways to apply images:

• full print: a color print from a file without the use of films or photoforms is a very fast process. For painting, use an Epson printer. For an enterprise with a large turnover of products for full-fledged work, buy 10 of these printers;
• embossing is a relief image, but is not suitable for all materials; it is best used for leather cases;
• laser engraving; you need a semi-automated engraving machine (usually this is information about the amount of memory on a flash drive). The machine does all the work, except for changing the flash drives for application. At the end of the engraving, varnish is applied to the case using a special spray gun. Then the products are sent to the ovens, where the drying process takes place.

Upon completion of all points of the production process, you will receive a flash drive case.

Drive testing and assembly

How to test the speed of flash drives

For testing, special equipment and computer programs are used. The speed of the test depends on the power of the equipment. If you buy high-quality equipment, you can check up to 16 chips at the same time. Then the assembly of finished devices begins. On the conveyor, the finished case is put on the chips.

Assembly

To assemble small body parts, buy semi-automatic equipment. The principle of operation of such devices is the installation of a metal plate on a machine that cuts it according to the specified parameters, makes the necessary holes and gives it a shape.

For installation, the machine is most suitable. Its productivity is about 90,000 elements/hour or 25 elements/s.

Packaging of finished USB drives is the final stage of production. finished products prepare branded packaging.
