First EIE Technology at Royal Circuits

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Royal Circuits Group has expanded its investment in process equipment from First EIE. Royal Circuits Group has acquired an EDI500 direct image system for its location in Southern California, and CP562 for inkjet nomenclature at the Hollister, California location. The First EIE inkjet and direct image machines provide a simple user interface and highly reliable platform while addressing advanced technology needs.

The CP562 inkjet equipment for nomenclature ink has proven itself as being a daily work horse with very minimum maintenance needed. Random nozzle clogging—a typical issues with inkjet technology—is a very seldom occurrence. The equipment features other advanced capabilities, such as data scaling and dynamic legend (date codes, D-codes, serial numbers, text), and has a maintenance-friendly design packaged into a very small foot print.

Based on DMD technology, First EIE's direct image platform also features a high-powered UV light source, which provides a full spectral range from 365nm to 450nm—allowing full compatibility with almost all resists and solder masks. Features include full panel to local panel scaling, resolution down to 1mil lines and spaces, real time Z-axis focus adjustment and as usual with EIE equipment, a very maintenance friendly design. The EDI500 addresses panel sizes up to 24" x 27" with a very compact foot print while the EDI700 allows processing panels as large as 30" x 36". all4-PCB (North America) Inc. is proud to be representing this product line.
