Matrix USA to Display New Hakuto 630NP Series Dry Film Laminator at IPC APEX 2017
January 16, 2017 | Matrix USA Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
After only 14 months of active sales, Matrix has just delivered the ninth Hakuto 630NP Series dry film laminator to customers in the US. This is significant because customers are quickly accepting the new dry film lamination technology essential for success when imaging sub-5mil features. Panel yield on the new HSLL laminates with super low profile copper is now a priority.
Fred Long, Matrix Business Development says, “Our customers are reporting significantly improved yields on fine-line features. The new Mach 630NP laminator addresses the accuracy needed to assist in the direct image (DI) transfer of very fine lines on the latest laminates. This is made possible by the new lamination module with its even heat and even pressure across the entire surface of the laminated panel. In addition, the ability to change the rubber lamination rolls in seconds will not only increase productivity but will also offer alternative quick-change rubber solutions for different product needs. The complete redesign of the film lamination approach will now begin to reach the most important users of this latest technology. Matrix is eager to show manufacturers that by using the new system, Productivity and Yield will now surpass all traditional ROI expectations.”
A new full option Hakuto 6630NP dry film laminator will be on display at IPC APEX EXPO, San Diego, Feb 13-16, booth 3701.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
