Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

SCHMID Group Unveils Revolutionary Hyper Loop System (HLS) for Precision Etching with Sustainable Technology
November 7, 2024 | SCHMID GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SCHMID Group is excited to introduce the Hyper Loop System (HLS), an innovative solution setting new standards in etching technology by combining high efficiency with sustainable benefits. Through the integration of a unique hybrid nozzle system and the elimination of the need for external compressed air, the HLS offers an innovative solution for precise and eco-friendly etching of fine structures.
Efficiency through Hybrid Nozzle Technology: The HLS system features hybrid nozzles, which deliver a thin, even spray pattern to achieve pinpoint etching results. This cutting-edge design not only ensures high precision but also significantly reduces maintenance time due to quick nozzle replacement capabilities.
Sustainable Reduction of Chemicals and Energy Consumption: One of the key advantages of the HLS is its elimination of the need for an external compressed air supply, enhancing sustainability and lowering operational costs. By operating without exhaust air treatment requirements, the HLS reduces chemical consumption, especially when used with hydrochloric acid, as it eliminates the need for alkali neutralization and waste of copper-containing liquids is reduced to a minimum.
System Highlights:
- No Exhaust Air Treatment Needed: No more copper-containing rinsing water
- Reduced Chemical Consumption: Lower exhaust air reduces chemical consumption
- No Heat Loss: Maintains temperature stability with lower exhaust
- Quick Return on Investment: The system’s design ensures rapid cost recovery within a short operational period under continuous use
With the Hyper Loop System, SCHMID Group reaffirms its commitment to sustainable innovation, providing advanced etching solutions that not only improve productivity but also significantly reduce the environmental footprint for industrial processes.
