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.”
