A system for manufacturing an industrial automation drive includes a carrier frame configured to hold one or more semiconductor devices for use in the industrial automation drive. The carrier frame includes a set of fasteners disposed around an internal wall of the carrier frame such that each fastener of the set of fasteners includes an angled edge and a horizontal edge. Each fastener of the set of fasteners is configured to toollessly couple a power circuit board having the semiconductor devices to the carrier frame by bending from a first position when the power circuit board is pushed against the angled edge and returning to the first position when the power circuit board is pushed past the horizontal edge.

Systems and methods for manufacturing industrial automation drives

A menu-driven manufacturing technique includes determining a product and product configuration, along with process steps to be carried out in manufacturing workstations. Display screens corresponding to the particular manufacturing process steps are accessed and displayed on monitors at the workstations to lead operators through the processes. Control circuitry may verify that the correct components and tools are utilized as called for by the various process steps. Powered tools and test setups may be integrated with the system to enable improved quality control.
