Calumet Electronics Adds Optiflex Post Etch Punch

Calumet Electronics Corporation is now operating a Bacher Systems Optiflex Post Etch Punch, providing customers with even higher levels of production precision.

Key features of the fully automatic punch:

• 8 point front to back video camera registration
• Repeatability: +/- 8 μm
• Alignment: +/- 10 μm
• 100% accurate punching

"The North American electronics market favors higher technology, shorter lead times, and smaller production lots for prototyping and new product introduction applications" explains Stephen J. Marshall, National Sales Manager. "This improvement to our existing production methods enables quick response to these opportunities through enhanced registration support systems."

Today's registration specifications are measured in three decimal increments. Higher density, surface mount features, and higher layer counts continue to test manufacturing limits. Registration accuracy is determined by the capability to create it. Advanced technology and controlled environment makes the difference in registration capability.
