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.

American Standard Circuits Adds XACT PCB Registration System
April 10, 2017 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

American Standard Circuits CEO has recently purchased and implemented the XACT PCB registration system, the industry’s leading factory integrated printed circuit board registration solution.
The XACT registration solution is ground breaking product for PCB engineers, enabling the control and management of the entire PCB registration process. It helps companies achieve higher yields, especially on high layer count PCBs laid on larger panels, superior alignment of laser and through hole vias and is designed specifically for HDI designs.
In commenting about this latest software acquisition, Mr. Vardya said, “This is not one of the best, but the best software solution for registration that we could possibly buy at this time. We are already seeing vast product improvements from higher yields to improved productivity in the short time we have been using the system. We’ve made many acquisitions in the past three years and the XACT PCB registration solution is by far one of the best. This is the kind of tool that gives us a definite measurable edge over our competition.”
