Circuit Connect Installs Maskless (MLI) /CBT Direct Imaging System from Technica USA
November 9, 2016 | Circuit Connect Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Circuit Connect Inc. has recently installed a 4 channel Maskless/Chime Ball Technology direct imaging (DI) from Technica USA. Bob Lazzara; President of Circuit Connect, commented, "The MLI/CBT system was initially selected based on special imaging requirements for one of our major customers. The MLI/CBT system was clearly the best solution on the market for our needs. Since installing the equipment, not only has it proven to be the proper choice for Circuit Connect but our production personnel have discovered how very intuitive it is to operate.”
Frank Medina, President/CEO of Technica USA, the North American Master Distributor for Chime Ball Technology stated, "We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Circuit Connect and their customer on their specific requirements. We are also pleased to hear that our MLI/CBT DI equipment has quickly and seamlessly integrated into their overall production workflow.”
The MLI technology, now owned and manufactured by Chime Ball Technology (CBT)- Taiwan, remains one of the major platforms for DI imaging. The R&D team has remained in California through the acquisition of MLI by CBT. CBT has quickly advanced the MLI technology from a single wave solution to a multi wave solution with finer imaging capabilities and speed for dry films and solder masks. CBT is committed to remaining one of the world leaders in DI equipment.
Technica also employs 5 individuals that held key positions at MLI in applications, engineering, manufacturing and technical service in order to support existing and future installations.
