Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s Jiangmen manufacturing facility serves as our primary production hub for LED lighting solutions, strategically located within the Pearl River Delta region to leverage strong supply chain infrastructure and skilled labor resources. Spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, the factory is designed for high-volume, precision manufacturing with a strong emphasis on quality control and process efficiency. The facility operates under strict ISO 9001 quality management standards, with dedicated zones for each critical production phase, including component preparation, SMT assembly, optical integration, aging, final assembly, and comprehensive testing.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines form the core of our electronics manufacturing capability. The factory houses eight fully automated YAMAHA YS24 SMT production lines, each configured with dual placement lanes to maximize throughput. These lines are capable of handling components down to the 0201 package size with a placement accuracy of ±25µm, essential for the dense thermal and optical layouts common in modern LED modules. Each line integrates high-speed Fuji CP743E pick-and-place machines operating at up to 100,000 components per hour, coupled with JUKI reflow ovens providing precise thermal profiles for lead-free soldering. Critical to quality assurance, every SMT line is equipped with SAKI BF3D 3D Automated Optical Inspection systems that perform real-time solder joint analysis, component presence verification, and polarity checks immediately after reflow, ensuring defects are identified and corrected before progression to subsequent stages.
Aging and reliability testing represent a non-negotiable phase in our production workflow, particularly for LED products where long-term performance is paramount. We maintain a dedicated aging chamber zone comprising 48 independent thermal-controlled chambers with a total capacity exceeding 5,000 units simultaneously. Standard aging protocols involve 24-hour continuous operation at 50°C ambient temperature under full rated load, though we readily accommodate client-specific requirements for extended durations up to 72 hours or higher thermal stress conditions. Each chamber utilizes an automated monitoring system with integrated thermal imaging cameras and electrical parameter logging, tracking forward voltage, current draw, and lumen maintenance in real-time. Units exhibiting any deviation beyond our stringent thresholds—typically ±5% for photometric output and ±3% for electrical characteristics—are automatically flagged for engineering review and corrective action before shipment.
