Design, Development, and Testing of a Prototype Short Finder Brush for Printed Circuit Boards

印刷电路板（PCB）无故障连续性测试是保持电子设备可靠性的基本要求。为了提高连续性检查过程的效率，ENA电子实验室（ENA）希望开发一种短电刷（SFB）。SFB将有助于有效和高效地检查PCB故障，并改善ENA的服务和维修流程。自2001年以来，ENA已提供工业电子维修服务和电子工程服务的任何行业，使用自动化的过程。ENA在过去已经做出了努力，但是，SFB的发展需要额外的支持，与莫霍克学院能源和电力创新中心（EPIC）的合作将满足这一需求。ENA和EPIC将合作创建电路设计，选择合适的电刷，测试SFB，设计案例，并在莫霍克学院增材制造创新中心的支持下生产案例。EPIC和ENA的专业知识和实验室为SFB原型开发提供了一个极好的平台。SFB的发展将有助于ENA在安大略的业务，并提高其服务效率，使公司更有利可图。此外，该项目将为莫霍克学院的学生提供优秀的行业和研究调查经验，并为ENA和EPIC之间的未来合作奠定基础。

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fault-free continuity test is an essential requirement to maintain the reliability of electronic devices. In order to improve the efficiency of their continuity check process, ENA ElectronicsLaboratory (ENA) would like to develop a Short Finder Brush (SFB). The SFB will help to effectively andefficiently check PCBs for faults and improve ENA's service and repair processes. Since 2001, ENA hasprovided industrial electronic repair services and electronic engineering services to any industry that usesautomation in their processes. ENA has made efforts in the past, however, additional support is needed for the SFB development, and this collaboration with the Mohawk College Energy and Power Innovation Center(EPIC) will address that need. ENA and EPIC will collaborate to create a circuit design, select the appropriate brush, test the SFB, design a case, and produce the case with support from the Mohawk College AdditiveManufacturing Innovation Centre. The combined expertise and laboratories of EPIC and ENA provide anexcellent platform to support the SFB prototype development. The development of the SFB will help ENA's business in Ontario and promote efficiency in their services and make the company more profitable. Further, the project will provide excellent industry and research investigation experiences for a Mohawk Collegestudent, and create a foundation for future collaborations between ENA and EPIC.
