Royal Circuits Expands Flex Capabilities with Brand New Facility
March 15, 2019 | Royal CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Royal Circuits, a global manufacturer of high technology printed circuit boards, has completed the expansion of its flex division into a brand new, state of the art facility. Royal Circuits acquired the facilitiy and completed a build-to-suit building improvement, which will allow a doubling of capacity as Royal Circuits expands its customer base and services for the next decade.
At a time where consolidation and closures are common in the PCB industry, Royal Circuits is one of the few companies that has expanded and built a brand-new facility, according to Scott Kohno, President of Royal Circuits’ Flex Division. “The exponential growth of the flex and rigid-flex market, together with our unique quick-turn ability gives Royal Circuits a very unique advantage in the marketplace” Kohno added. “We are able to produce rigid-flex circuits in less than 5-days and standard flex circuits in 3 days; and our customer from the Mil Aero and Medical are lined up for this delivery.”

Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?
The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
