Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO 2024: Advancements in Laser Depaneling with LPKF
April 24, 2024 | Real Time with...IPC APEX EXPOEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Jake Benz, LPKF sales manager for North America, discusses the company's advancements in laser depaneling. LPKF has introduced a green wavelength laser for processing rigid FR-4 circuit boards, bringing significant gains in processing speeds to market. The company transitioned from IR CO2 to UV wavelength due to heat and burning issues. The green wavelength, combined with LPKF's tensor technology, offers processing speeds similar to a mechanical router but with higher quality.
