Increasing costs in PCB industry
23 February, 2006In recent months costs of raw- and auxiliary materials as well as charges for energy have risen in the PCB-industry.
LPKF ProMask
04 October, 2005LPKF ProMask is a quick, simple and cost effective solution to produce professional solder-resist masks on prototype circuit boards. LPKF ProMask ensures printed circuit boards are perfectly finished and allows soldering, free of short circuits. LPKF ProMask protects PCBs completely from environmental corrosion or oxidization.
Circuit board plotter
12 April, 2005LPKF Laser & Electronics AG has released its ProtoMat S62 PCB plotter, an automated system that is claimed to deliver more than double the milling speed of other plotters.
Generation circuit board plotters
03 March, 2005LPKF Laser & Electronics AG announces the release of its ProtoMat S62 PCB plotter. This compact and automated system delivers more than double the milling speed of comparable plotters. It has an automatic tool change and a motorized Z-axis, which are features usually found only on higher-priced systems. The ProtoMat S62 can mill 150 mm (6") per second at a system resolution of 0.25 µm (0.01 mil), producing precise structures as small as 0.1 mm (4 mils).
Tracing tool
03 February, 2005The compact VisiFault emits a bright beam of red light for easy fibre location from a distance. Users can visually trace one fibre among many, either in a cable or when terminated in a rack, by visually locating the emitted light.
PCBs go down to the wire
30 January, 2005The market demands ever greater miniaturisation in printed circuit boards - as well as an increasing use of flexible circuitry - so the need for improved methods of producing high-resolution PCBs is becoming more important.
Serial boards
12 October, 2004National Instruments has announced eight RS232/485 serial interfaces that deliver features such as flexible baud rates up to 1 Mbps and universal PCI, hyperthreading and multiprocessor support.
Prototype PCB plotter
04 August, 2004LPKF Laser & Electronics has released the ProtoMat H100 that allows reduction in the production time of prototype PCBs.
Standardised boards
15 March, 2004The JRex 3.5" CPU boards fit in between PC/104 modules that are suitable for low production volumes with a broad selection of off-the-shelf available I/O modules and custom baseboard designs that use CPU board standards such as ETX and DIMM-PC.
High temperature resistant
05 October, 2002The trend to produce printed circuit boards (PCBs) using surface mounting technology (SMT) is becoming increasingly prevalent. One requirement for this technology is the provision of the majority of components built in a suitable way
PCB Fabrication Industry
05 June, 2002Morris Productions has ceased manufacturing PCBs and has entered into an agreement with Precision Circuits to manufacture PCBs.
Analogue Output Boards
14 June, 2001Boston Technology has released a series of high density, high-resolution analogue output boards for the PCI bus.
