Why are some instruments and effects still operating after 30 years? Maybe the design was well thought and the craftsmanship good? I think so.<\/p>\n
It all start with the design. It does not matter how good you are to assemble a box if the design is bad. So, how make a robust design?<\/p>\n
There are some points that I will bring out in that matter;<\/p>\n
\n
Think of the worst case scenario<\/li>\n
Use parts that can handle the physical stress<\/li>\n
Design for manufacturing (DFM)<\/li>\n
Add margins to your design<\/li>\n
Manufacture the products after rigid standards<\/li>\n
If possible, add self correcting functions if a fault occur<\/li>\n
Test the products good before they are sold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
But where to start with all this?<\/p>\n
Wee, there are a LOT of articles written about this already. Just search “DFM” on google and take a look. \u00a0You will find tips and rules on how to make electronics that is possible to produce in the best manner. I would like to point out the IPC standard. That is common standards describing everything from the layout of a board to how to mount it in a factory.
