Production and QC Process:
The production process and quality inspection process of FPC using a rotary die cutting machine can be described as follows:

1. Production Process:
   a. Material Preparation: The first step involves preparing the materials required for FPC production, including flexible substrates, conductive layers, adhesive layers, and protective films.
   b. Design and Tooling: The FPC design is created and prepared for die cutting using specialized software. Dies are created based on the design specifications, which will be used in the rotary die cutting machine.
   c. Die Cutting: The die-cutting machine is set up with the appropriate dies, and the material layers are fed into the machine. The machine uses rotary dies to cut the FPCs into the desired shapes and dimensions.
   d. Component Assembly: The cut FPCs are assembled with electronic components, such as integrated circuits and connectors, using automated assembly equipment or manual processes.
   e. Soldering and Testing: The assembled FPCs undergo soldering to establish electrical connections. Once soldered, the FPCs are tested for functionality and electrical continuity.
   f. Final Inspection and Packaging: A final inspection is conducted to ensure the quality and consistency of the FPCs. Any defective FPCs are rejected, and the approved ones are packaged for shipment.

2. Quality Inspection Process:
   a. Visual Inspection: FPCs are visually inspected for any visible defects, such as improper cutting, delamination, or surface irregularities.
   b. Dimensional Measurements: Key dimensions of the FPCs, such as length, width, and hole diameter, are measured using precision measuring equipment to ensure they meet the required specifications.
   c. Electrical Testing: The electrical continuity and functionality of the FPCs are tested using automated test equipment. This includes testing for short circuits, open circuits, and proper signal transmission.
   d. Reliability Testing: A subset of FPCs undergoes reliability testing, which may include thermal cycling, vibration testing, and environmental exposure to ensure the FPCs can withstand the intended operating conditions.
   e. Statistical Process Control: Throughout the production process, statistical process control techniques are employed to monitor and control the quality of the FPCs. This involves collecting data, analyzing trends, and taking corrective actions as required to maintain consistent quality.
