American Industrial Inc. provides highly skilled services for the maintenance and life-extension of your high-value electronic circuits. We Provide:
- Fast turn-around times
- Effective repairs by skilled technicians
- Minimal information or documentation required
- OEM-independent solutions
- Support for most electronic circuits
Repair
Accurate fault finding using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art systems is supported with proven processes and knowledge of the market. This approach ensures most electronic circuits can be supported:
- Fault diagnosis
- Fault repaired and/or component replaced with like component or direct equivalent
- Circuit tested for full confidence
Refurbishment
Any electronic circuit will degrade over time as components age, connectors wear and solder joints are subjected to the stresses of their operational environment. This aging process can cause unreliable, intermittent and often repeated failures on the same circuit. By undertaking a pro-active analysis and refurbishment of the circuit, American Industrial Inc. can provide compelling results and improvements in your circuit performance. Our process identifies components that have been degraded with time or are at risk of becoming obsolete and they are then replaced with exact or direct equivalents. Solder joints are re-worked and any worn connectors are replaced. This effectively means that the life of the circuit is extended and the reliability improved.
- Identifying components that are degraded and replace
- Replacing at risk components
- Re-working solder joints
- Replacing worn connectors
- Testing the circuit for full confidence
- De-risk and extend product life
Obsolescence Management
The rate of change in electronics means that obsolescence has become a significant issue in today’s maintenance and support environments. American Industrial Inc. offers an obsolescence management service to cover electronic circuits and systems. The service will:
- Create an electronic Bill of Materials (BoM)
- Identify components that are:
- obsolete
- at risk of becoming obsolete
- Source equivalent components or re-engineer a solution when alternatives are not available
- Test the circuit
Re-manufacture
Whether through obsolescence or supply chain restructuring, the fact remains that spare circuits can and do become depleted. A single component or card can stop an entire system operating and force massive, untimely investment in new replacement systems. American Industrial Inc. provides a re-manufacturing service to avoid this scenario. Working from an existing circuit, an exact electronic and physical equivalent is created:
- Circuit electronic schematics are created
- Physical layout is re-created
- Electronic Bill of Materials (BoM) is created
- Components are sourced or if necessary re-manufactured e.g. coils / transformers
- If components cannot be sourced then an alternative solution is engineered or agreed.
- A replacement board is manufactured
- The new circuit is tested

Our test system works with devices that conform to the IEEE 1149.1 and 1149.6 boundary scan standards.
"Plug and play"
Able to test BGAs and fine-pitch devices.
Only BSDL files required to get the board up and running.
Set up pin states - e.g. low, high, toggling.
Trace shorts, opens and other signals.
Easy low-level access to device pins/busses.
Clear display of the pins/balls with variable zoom levels and split screen.
Quickly find and monitor changing pins.
Program devices with SVF and STAPL files.
Real-time interaction.
In-circuit programming and upgrading can be provided if our customer can supply the file and the board can support it. |
