Merrick electronics
At Merrick, all our electronics boards are manufactured in-house for full quality assurance. With complete control of all steps of production, our team can manufacture custom boards on demand for specific machines. From start of production to finish, all Merrick products are continuously tested for quality, performance, and durability.
Surface Mount
- Two Mancorp automated “pick and place” machines.
- SMT hand “pick and place” machine.
- Solder paste silk screening.
- Solder reflow oven all for surface mounting.
PC Board
- Industry grade through-hole PC Board manufacturing for a stable connection between the board and its components.

Aging
- Two 50 oC "burn in" aging ovens.
- All boards are put through an extensive aging procedure by heating 120°C for 120 hours with on and off cycles. This process tests the endurance of the boards and how well they operate during excessive use to ensure they do not break down during usage in the field.
Work Stations and Assembly
- Anti-static flooring and desk-mats are used to minimize damage to components during manufacturing and eliminate electrostatic discharge.
- Dedicated printed circuit board assembly, electronic controller assembly, and repair workstations.
