Staging Plate

Purpose

The purpose of this work instructions is to document the assembly process of creating a customer salable staging-plate kit

Instructions

Prepare staging-plate

  • Collect a staging-plate from inventory.
  • If necessary, clean both sides of each staging-plate with an IPA-soaked shop rag to remove dust, scratches, or fingerprint smudges from handling.
  • Inspect for defects/damage on the top and bottom surfaces of the PCB

Prepare Staging Plate Attachment Hardware set

  • Place the following components into a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 bag :

    • 4x M5x8mm-button-head
    • 4x M5-tslot-nut

Plastic wrap the staging plate(s) and hardware bags

  • Wrap the staging-plate 1 time with the plastic wrap.
  • Place staging-plate-attachment-hardware-set on top of the plate that's been wrapped once.
  • Wrap staging-plate again with the staging-plate-attachment-hardware so the hardware stays secured under the plastic.
  • Wrap once more and cut staging-plate bundle away from plastic wrap spool.
  • Fold the excess plastic wrap on the sides of bundle down and smooth out creases in plastic wrap.

Prepare aux-staging-plate-foot

  • Check either the Opulo Shopify Store - Coefficient Data Steam or the week's fulfillment paperwork to determine what version of the aux-staging-plate-foot to include
    • The Title + Variant field will denote whether you should use a ≤v3.0.4, v3.0.5, or v3.1+ version of aux-staging-plate-foot
  • Once you have identified the correct version of aux-staging-plate-foot to use, collect the unprocessed 3D print from the relevant container for use in the next step

See here for guidance on assembling the aux-staging-plate-foot

Skip the rubber-foot if the version is ≤v3.0.4

  • When you have your foot prepared for the correct version, use a rubber-band to keep the aux-staging-plate-foot in place for packout.

Prepare Packaging

  • Fold staging plate box
  • Cut 4x foam sheets into 6"x4" sections
  • Place 2x 6"x4" pieces of foam on both sides of the open box
  • Place wrapped up staging-plate and aux-staging-plate-foot above the foam sheet
    • Be sure to include as many pieces of aux-staging-plate-foot as there are staging-plate in the order
  • Add 2x additional pieces of 6"x4" foam on both sides of the open box
  • Add any other additional items to the package before taping box shut for fulfillment
