Looking for someone who can manufacture & assemble PCB Boards

[Christian]

I am looking for an individual or company who can manufacture and assemble PCB boards according to my needs.

I have all the necessary files and am looking for a reliable and affordable manufacturer. Country / origin of the manufacturer is not important.

All PCBs are for metal detectors and related gear: For example the Hammerhead PI.

You can contact me at [email protected] to discuss further details.

Thank you,

Christian

Hi Christian,

You can try:... White's ....Garrett.....Fisher....Tesoro....etc..

I think they can assemble metal detector PCB boards ....??



Succes..

[Christian]

Thanks for your replies but I'm looking for an individual or small company who's interested in producing these boards for me as I plan on opening a small webshop selling customized detectors.

So if anybody knows of an individual or company cabable of producing and assemblying PCB boards please kindly let me know.

not, not and again not. these companies are out of KIT's, out absoliutely of any similar business. you can appeal to them asking schematics, chip with new soft for your GT, the PCB's, but will get only Price List from a lady-on-desk. idiotic situation - nobody from them wishes serve you. the resume is ONLY YOU IS THE CREATOR. Garrett... seen his antispy technology... scratched IC's, black epoxy resine box... keep away from the buddy Garrett!

Customized detectors could be an interesting niche market. For very small series production, the cost will be high. It may be better to have the boards assembled in China, where, for the same price you could get 5 to 10 boards for the price of one.

When you compare the prices for just the PCB alone, made in the EU, with the price made in China, you get up to 5:1.

Bulgaria might be the cheapest solution for the European region.

Hello Tinkerer,

do you know any reliable manufacturer in China or Bulgaria who could assemble boards?

I had paid a member of this forum to do some sample boards for me (in Turkey) ... that's been at the begining of the year and it unfortunately seems he has ripped me off and walked away with my money ...

I'm looking at products like underwater metal detectors, earth resistance loggers etc. I can do the housings etc. but need a reliable source for getting the boards assembled.

Thanks,

CHristian

Why not open a private equity firm in the east European country, several workers,cheap labor if it comes to payment, "low taxes" ?Or ,or,or,...???

No, unfortunately not. Could you please resend it? Thank you! ([email protected])

This would be a too big step. I'm just looking for a reliable 3rd party manufacturer who can produce (rather small) quantities of assembled PCB boards for me.

Things like an underwater hand probe or earth resistivity meter appeal to a small audience / range of customers only. Hence starting a own company and buying machinery would not corespond with the number of sold units.

I've re-sent it.

I have noticed that there is some interest in Eastern European countries in developing electronics manufacturing. It appears that there is a high level of skilled people, excellent engineers etc. very motivated to work hard.

With the competition from China and the upcoming competition from India, how do the quality, efficiency, reliability and cost compare?

How does the ease of communication compare? Language problem? Shipping? Customs?

It would be very interesting to get some solid information about these aspects.
There also seems to be a growing market for metal detectors in Eastern Europe as well.
What would be the advantage of producing metal detectors there?

The design is problem

The problem is not in manifacturing process for cheap and quality metal detecting equipment; the problem is in its
design process. The factory of the world is Asia, and nobody even cheaper labor in Turkey, Russia and Bulgaria do not
can compete with Asian advantages in terms of price at mass production.
Tinkerer, sorry that I will use your nickname, the next sentence did not apply to you.
In Eastern Europe we have enough tinkerers to produce, but we need thinkerers to design metal detectors.
We need designers having enough theoretical knowledge to create new generation metal detectors for demining,
prospecting and treasure hunting. Note that I put humanitarian demining in first place.
To satisfy this vacuum, before more than two years was created a worldwide group of experts for theoretical
knowledge - the (R)EMI group.
The abbreviation (R)EMI means "Reinventing, rename, revision, redesign and rediscovering Electromagnetic
induction ". Most members of (R)EMI group have hobby to design transmitters, receivers and antennas for QRP
amateur radio. Despite amateur radio is dying, it remains most powerful global hobby for knowledge. It has maintained a presence in space since 1961, with the launch of satellite OSCAR 1 (OSCAR is an acronym for Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio). Since then,
radio amateurs have launched about 40 satellites with over 20 still in orbit today.
What was done for two years existing (R)EMI group (July Morning 2008 - July Morning 2010)? We have answer of the question "How should metal
detectors work?"
As WM6 noted, the (R)EMI group creates block diagrams. This is true. Let designers try to improuve our block diagrams if they can. We mean this is impossible.
As ex-spokesman of the (R) EMI group, I have the block diagram of the reinvented most sensitive VLF metal detector "GLEANER
project ". I expect the authors permission to post it and I hope this will happen because it is important for humanitarian demining. The original inventor is Vaino Ronka and the principle is described in its patents.
I have good news from Bulgaria:
The designers of the cheap kit "Pulsediscriminator PD3200" are working now on design of another cheap kit "DIY GPR project". This is good for all hobbists, but very bad for radar manufacturers, because it will force them to cut prices.

these people go on and then go out. speedy. like a meteor in the sky. this is why they are not our contingent. let them do what they want do. if they have created PD3200 kit so where I can find it and order? I do not see. I see only legendary Delta Pulse... on all along if Bulgarian Golden Mask is nice detector why nobody wishes to share a schematic or/and to sell a kit? thank you, but I do not need in REMI group any. I only would like to find a coil on my King Cobra... open it... learn it. that is all on time.
