Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Cirexx Acquires Second Direct Imaging System From Technica USA
February 20, 2017 | Cirexx InternationalEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Cirexx International has acquired a second direct imaging (DI) unit from Technica USA. The new equipment is the latest in technology offered by Technica’s supply partner, Chime Ball Technology (CBT). CBT purchased the DI technology from Maskless Lithography Inc (MLI) approximately two years ago. CBT has quickly advanced the production proven LED technology to include multiple wavelength UV imaging with the capability of imaging 35 micron features.
Phil Menges, president of Cirexx stated, “We have been very pleased with the first unit we purchased from Technica. The performance, reliability and the support they have provided, even after the acquisition of MLI, has been excellent. Based on our positive experience with this technology, we were very comfortable in making the decision to purchase the second unit from Technica.
Frank Medina, president of Technica USA, commented, “We are very pleased to have received the order from Cirexx and expand our already significant install base. This technology continues to provide many features such as friendliest user interface, software capability for employing multiple targets, fastest data download and set up time, best front-to-back registration (patented technology), best stitch control with multiple heads (patented technology), and many more features not offered by other DI equipment on the market."
Menges concluded, “The first DI unit we purchased from Technica surely helped to improve our company’s capabilities and performance. We are confident that the latest technology offered by CBT will allow us to benefit even further.”
