March 5, 2019 | BowmanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Headquartered in Knightdale, NC, with 5 offices serving 13 mid-Atlantic and southeastern states, Photo Chemical Systems specializes in capital equipment and process chemistry for the printed circuit industry.
“PCS has an excellent reputation among board shops, and within the military sector; this makes them an excellent fit for Bowman. Our five-year plan is to take the lead as America’s leading manufacturer of precision XRF benchtop analyzers; I’m confident PCS will help us achieve that,” said Bowman President, Tom Leone.
“The Bowman XRF line was recommended to us by our largest customer as the most direct – and most cost-effective route to compliance with IPC standards: both the ones that are official now, and the ones that are likely to follow. We were also impressed that Bowman units are highly suitable for solution testing – an important consideration,” added Photo Chemical President Preston Averette.
Averette believes that, of the 7 models in the Bowman XRF suite, the Model P will be most attractive to the PCS customer base. “Their P series accommodates a very wide variety of sample sizes, shapes, and quantities, and has a programmable X-Y stage that should be very appealing to operators,” he explains. Note: The Model P is now available with an SDD (silicon drift detector.)

Are Our Stackup Rules No Longer Valid?
12/19/2024 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+Are the stackup rules we used to follow no longer valid? It depends on what you’re designing. Electrical rules change depending on your circuit. Fabrication rules change depending on which fabricator you’re working with. Today, we just have more options, and sometimes, cost is a bigger rule than anything else. If you search online for information about layer stackups, trace widths, and hole sizes in PCBs, you’ll find a variety of resources.
