When Original Files Are Gone, We Rebuild Your PCBs
Losing the original files for your PCBs is more common than you think. A supplier goes bankrupt, a hard drive crashes, or a 20-year-old machine finally stops working.
Suddenly, you are stuck with a critical piece of hardware and no way to make more.
CtrlcPCB specializes in the recovery of legacy Industrial PCB Production. We don’t just “clone” boards; we reverse-engineer the physical sample back into digital data, allowing you to resume manufacturing PCBs even when the OEM is long gone.
1. Why You Need More Than Just a “Copy”
Many shops claim to clone PCB Board layouts. But a blind copy copies the mistakes too.
We approach it differently. We treat your old board as a prototype for new Industrial PCB Production.
-
Modernization: We analyze the board to see if obsolete Component Electronic Parts can be replaced with modern, cheaper equivalents.
-
Optimization: We fix original design flaws that caused the failure in the first place.
2. The PCBA Recovery Process
Our engineering team takes full ownership of the PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) reconstruction.
-
Physical Scanning: We strip the PCB Board layer by layer, scanning the copper tracks to recreate the netlist.
-
BOM Recovery: We identify every resistor and IC. If a part is listed in recent Microcontroller News as “End of Life” (EOL), we find a pin-compatible substitute immediately.
-
Data Generation: We deliver a complete production package: Gerber files, BOM, and Pick-and-Place data.
3. Solving the “End-of-Life” Crisis
The biggest threat to Industrial PCB Production is component obsolescence.
When a critical chip is discontinued, your production stops. We monitor Microcontroller News and supply chain data to predict these risks.
-
Firmware Extraction: If the main chip is locked, we can often recover the code to migrate it to a new PCBA.
-
Redesign for Supply: We modify the PCB Board layout to accept currently available Component Electronic Parts, ensuring you can build this product for another 10 years.
4. Partner with a Real Manufacturer
We are not just a design house; we are a factory.
Once the reverse engineering is done, we seamlessly transition into volume Industrial PCB Production.
Don’t Let Lost Files Kill Your Product.
If you have the physical board, we have the technology to rebuild your PCBs.
