Separation, Testing, Labeling


Click image to enlarge.

Upon completion of the auto-inspection process, the DIMMs are labeled.

Here, you can see a DIMM in the labeling process.


This completely labeled DIMM is entering another machine stage that will separate the 8-up PCB into individual DIMMs.


The completed DIMMs are then loaded into trays and carted for a move to the Inspection line.

    #6 - Without wafer-making at Kingston Taiwan the process is pretty straightforward. We kept looking for the laser Samurai warriors, but they just weren't there. There are already enough sites who invent or embelish the truth. That's why you come to AnandTech, yes?

    well i'm a bit disapointed. where are the videos and at least some technincal details or some interesting back story (with laser-sword wielding samurai warriors and hot princesses perhaps, no?).

    raw materials are brought in.
    raw materials are glued together.
    glued together raw materials are labeled, tested and packaged.
    the end.

    logic alone can tell me that

    "...but Kingston is the only memory maker that we know whose name is recognized in every corner of the globe as the world’s largest memory maker"
    Maybe because Kingston sells its products under the same name in the whole world. Other producers (mainboards mainly) have different names for US market and European market.

    Anyway, very interesting article. I remember seeing (in Romania) an ad about 5 years ago, for Kingston memory for Sun workstations.

    I always enjoy reading on the companies that manufacture technology like this. It feels comfortable knowing they tested my USBkey before I bought it.

    Interesting look on how our RAM is being made.

    Good article.
