Orbotech Ltd., is showcasing a selection of its most innovative and best-in-class digital production solutions for PCB and FPC (flexible printed circuit) manufacturers at this year’s TPCA. For the first time in Taiwan, Orbotech will be demonstrating its Nuvogo™ Fine Direct Imaging System, the Precise™ 800 AOS, Sprint™ 200 Flex, the Discovery™ II AOI with ultra-fast, advanced automation, and the InCAMFlex and InPanFlex solutions.
Live demos of Orbotech’s PCB manufacturing solutions will take place at TPCA from 26-28 October in Booth #K1421 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Hall.
“Orbotech is delighted to bring its next generation of PCB manufacturing solutions to TPCA and enable our Taiwanese customers to experience first-hand the immense benefits they offer,” said John Ho, General Manager of Orbotech Taiwan. “As electronics become smaller and more complex, Orbotech continues to bring innovative solutions to the increasingly complex world of PCB and FPC manufacturing and ensure our customers achieve high yields, superior performance and a low total cost of ownership (TCO).”
About Nuvogo Fine: The Nuvogo Fine DI solution offers superior throughput for advanced HDI makers and modified semi- additive process (mSAP) and for advanced HDI printed circuits. Designed to enable the PCB manufacturing industry to support the production of thinner, high-density, high-functionality devices, the Nuvogo Fine sets a new industry standard with superior imaging quality and exceptionally fast throughput for fine lines. By enabling extremely fast panel production speeds, the Nuvogo Fine accelerates manufacturers’ time-to-market while ensuring a low cost-per-print.
About Precise 800: The recently launched groundbreaking Precise 800 is the first AOS solution for the advanced HDI and complex multi-layer PCB manufacturing market, capable of both ablating excess copper (“shorts”) and depositing missing copper (“opens”), all in a single automated process. Enabling accurate, high quality 3D shaping of the most advanced PCB designs, the Precise 800 significantly increases yield by virtually eliminating PCB scrap. The Precise™ 800 addresses all defects including those on inner and outer layers, multiple lines, corners and pads.
About Sprint 200 Flex: Sprint 200 Flex Inkjet Printer is Orbotech’s first PCB legend printer designed specifically for the unique requirements of mass produced, thin, flexible PCBs. With multi-panel handling, advanced registration and serialization tools, the Sprint 200 Flex offers manufacturers breakthrough performance for high volume, high yield and high quality legend and serialization printing over a range of flex PCB materials.
About Discovery II with Ultra-fast, Advanced Automation: Discovery II 9200 with ultra-fast, advanced automation combines Orbotech’s market-leading, high performance AOI solution with superior automation capabilities for increased throughput and utilization as well as maximized operational efficiency. Designed for MLB and HDI mass production, the automation supports slip-sheet and flip operation mode.
About InCAMFlex and InPlanFlex: InCAM®Flex is a dedicated CAM solution for flex and rigid-flex PCB makers that provides precise CAM tooling and production data optimization via flex design for manufacturing tools making the most out of your flex production. InPlan®Flex is a comprehensive automatic engineering system for rigid, flex and rigid-flex PCBs that combines sophisticated engineering know-how with state-of-the-art preproduction planning tools to design the optimal manufacturing process paving your path to business success.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
