can facilitate the layout, prototyping in either Single-Sided or Double Sided P.C.B. to your specifications.
( time taken is calculated in months, weeks, days, hours and / or minutes depending on complexity )
All parts and materials used are in addition to time spent on the client's behalf to get a project to fruition.
This is only a representation, whereas in reality, the process is quite involved and does not have parts on it.
As stated, yes, it is an excellent idea to condense a circuit into the smallest possible size thus saving on
the board's physical dimensions, however....in doing so, there are strict "electronic" rules that govern the
passage of electrons along a particular circuit board track which may induce a new headache that is called
cross-talk or "electronic noise" from one circuit to another, please be very aware of these constraints and
there are trade-offs in any circuit board layout or design, speed and noise immunity are the most sought after
features requiring " ground planes " to shield or rather contain and reduce "cross talk" or high frequency
" parasitic " oscillations from one track through a circuit board track to another.
Labour rates Repairs and modifications
AUD$ 150.00 per hour ( $ 2.50 / min)...plus 10% GST.
( calculated as time taken in hours and minutes )
( Calculated as company time taken in hours and minutes plus 1ドル.80 / Km there and back returning to base. )
( Time attending is charged at $ 150-00 per hour or part thereof, calculated from our office and back to our office.)
Labour rates design work Prototyping ......... AUD $ 150.00 per hour ( AUD$ 2.50 / Min )..... Plus GST.
Please Note : Labour rates do not include any materials or components nor do they include GST.
Please be aware, we are not a " results only company ", that is to state as in " only " being paid "only"
if the result is goods or equipment works. We accept "your goods" for repair or service in good faith, however
if it is found at some stage during the repair(s) that the said item (s) for repair or service are not going result
in a positive working outcome, either due to the age of item(s) or component(s) that are " still now " available
in stock, we will advise you of the costs so far in arriving at this conclusion. There are no "Free lunches".
If we have to leave our premises and obtain parts on your behalf, making sure the parts are the correct size,
or correct dimensions and equal to or better than the original, then this service is charged at the same rate
as 150ドル per hour + GST, 2ドル.50 per minute plus GST, this accounts for driving time to and from a suppliers
premises to inward goods inspect the parts / components and pay for them on your behalf. This cost is borne
by you the customer and vehicular running costs based at 1ドル.80 cents per kilometer there and back to our office
are to be applied. So, recapping, time spent collection the parts, ( to and from ) plus kilometer costs + time.
All company time is accountable for. This is only fair as where you work, you would not like be NOT PAID as a
result of a project or job not working out right and your boss telling you, "tough luck mate.... it did not work so
no pay for the hours you wasted on trying to get it going". Resolution Meeting: August 12th 2012 7:35 pm .
New resolution and meeting, ( after maintaining a 100ドル per hour from May 1st 2002 ) until today April 26th 2019,
we have caved in to pressures after 17 years, to raise our labour rates to 150ドル per hour, plus GST. This is largely
to do with increased running costs of which we can no longer absorb and our continued investments in new and
current technologies, technical electronic measurement tools, Digital Storage Oscilloscope, CRO's as well as a
far higher than any previously maintained stock level overheads. Being a Lawyer or Barista would have been a far
better paying career and charging between 6,000ドル to 10,000ドル per day with no parts to stock is outstanding.
Resolution Meeting: April 26th 2012 9:30 am .
We require payment for company time spent on your behalf working on your goods or equipment irrespective of
the final results that the item(s) in question are working. We strive for perfection in servicing and repairs, however
there are times where component tolerances change over the years, often resulting in undesirable board faults
that are "hard to diagnose" along with often inherent stray capacitances and weird parasitics etcetera, plating
"growths and spurs" or "Whisker formation" that creep into circuit boards over time. Many companies, including
NASA have notes on this strange and very undesirable phenomenon.
Other servicing prblems to be remembered are the adhesive holding copper tracks and pads (aka lands) onto a
PCB. Over time, the copper foil "adhesive" between the fibre glass board does break down to a gritty powder,
thus if a circuit board is quite old, it will inevitabley become a major issure or problem for who ever solders or
repairs that "older" PCB ( Printer Circuit Board ). That is just one "age old" issue to seriously contend with.
Copper tracks and pads tradionally do not like being heated too much and the net result of the heat from a hot
soldering iron, it can and does become annealed or brittle and fractures. This too is simply not good.
however, design the circuit layouts and single-sided prototypes.
Hardware solutions , we design and manufacture for you. We make it happen for you!
