Full Assembly Documentation Services
Gannon Luthier Services provides complete, professional assembly documentation to support accurate, repeatable, and efficient electronic manufacturing. Our documentation bridges the gap between design intent and real-world assembly.
Discuss Documentation NeedsDocumentation Is Part of the Product
Even a well-designed PCB can fail in production without clear assembly guidance. Full assembly documentation ensures that every board is built correctly, consistently, and without guesswork.
GLS produces documentation that assembly technicians, manufacturers, and future maintainers can actually use.
Assembly Documentation Services
Assembly Drawings
Clear visual drawings showing component placement, orientation, polarity, reference designators, and critical assembly notes.
Manufacturing BOMs
Assembly-ready BOMs including quantities, alternates, reference designators, and sourcing notes aligned with the build.
Pick-and-Place Documentation
Generation and validation of centroid data and placement files for automated assembly processes.
Assembly Instructions
Step-by-step written instructions covering order of operations, special handling, and process-specific considerations.
Revision-Controlled Packages
Documentation structured for version tracking to support design changes and long-term production.
Prototype to Production Support
Documentation scaled appropriately for prototypes, small batches, and repeatable production runs.
Our Documentation Process
1. Design Review
We review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and panelization to fully understand assembly requirements.
2. Documentation Development
Assembly drawings, BOMs, and instructions are created with clarity, accuracy, and manufacturing practicality in mind.
3. Validation & Alignment
Documentation is cross-checked against the design to ensure reference consistency, orientation accuracy, and completeness.
4. Delivery & Support
Final documentation is delivered in manufacturer-friendly formats, with optional support during initial builds.
FAQs
Is assembly documentation necessary for small runs?
Yes. Clear documentation reduces errors and rework, even for prototypes and short production runs.
Can you create documentation for existing designs?
Absolutely. We can generate or improve assembly documentation for designs not originally developed by GLS.
Do you support contract manufacturers?
Yes. Documentation is created with contract manufacturers and assembly houses in mind.
Can this be combined with PCB, BOM, or panelization services?
Yes. Full assembly documentation often completes the design-for-manufacturing workflow.
