Total Fire Systems Solutions

01 Fire Suppression Systems

Total Fire Systems is a leader in fire suppression electronics and sensors.

Internationally Recognized

Around the globe, TFS products are working 24/7 to save lives and protect property. Our systems have saved hundreds of lives and saved millions of dollars in property damage. Customers can rest assured we are committed to continuous improvement. Good is never good enough.

Risk Mitigation

Operating an organization, whether a private business or government entity, will entail risk. The risk of fire can be unpredictable but catastrophic if it occurs. Our electronic controls and sensors can help take unpredictability out of the equation and replace it with simple, automated, and predictable system operation.

02 Sensors & Auxiliary Devices

At TFS, we continuously develop new products and implement exciting technologies. With our unwavering dedication to innovation, our systems continuously improve with state of the art technologies.

Gas & Optical Detection

Vehicle fire are uncommon but disastrous when they occur. Expensive vehicles operating in metropolitan areas present a greater hazard whether due to fire or potential explosion. The combination of state of the art electronics along with ready to act sensors ensures an onboard, pre-engineered automatic response to both fire and combustible gas leaks.

03 SMT Manufacturing

At TFS, we use the latest, integrated SMT pick and place machines in line with our automated assembly process. Components loaded on our SMT equipment are inventoried in moisture and climate-controlled storage locations.

MYCRONIC SOLDER PASTE JET PRINTERS

As boards and components become smaller, smarter, and more complex with power and fine pitch components nearby, jet printing stands out as the optimal solution to provide quality repeatable solder joints. Solder paste inspection as well as pc board inspection is integral with our Mycronic Jet Print equipment. Solder pads and solder deposition is adjustable and controlled with the jet printer software. This gives us the ability to optimize solder paste deposits and ensure perfect quality solder joints

MYCRONIC SMD TOWERS

Customer inventory is both computer and climate-controlled in our Mycronic SMD Tower storage systems. From receiving to job kitting, each SMD reel is barcoded and automatically tracked. The high density, climate, and software-controlled storage environment provided by our tower storage integrates with our ERP system and MYCenter software. The TFS SMD Tower Storage systems deliver the right component to the right job every time.

04 AOI Equipment

Our investment in technology is key to our constant pursuit of quality. We make every effort to ensure quality during every step of the surface mount assembly process. PCB assemblies are first inspected for quality solder paste, followed by proper component placement , automated optical inspection, visual inspection and electronic functional inspection.

THE NEED FOR SPI/AOI

While visual inspection of solder joints, PCB components, etc. will always have a place in manufacturing, automated inspection when applied correctly provides an extremely reliable indicator of process problems and component defects. Assembly and inspection are areas of constant improvement at TFS. Global competition and high-quality standards demand reliable and fast inspection methods.

ADVANTAGES OF AOI

Automated inspection equipment is a tireless and reliable worker. Even the best most experienced employees cannot be as consistent, hour to hour, and day to day as properly operated automated inspection equipment. When combined with board-level identification, AOI is a time saver as well. With decreased component size, the positional accuracy of the SMT process is increasingly important.
