Aismalibar to Attend productronica 2019
October 27, 2019 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As the only exhibition of this kind, productronica showcases the entire value chain in electronics manufacturing – from technologies and components to software and services. Approximately 45,000 professionals attended the conference in 2018 and it continues to grow each year.
After successful participation in the 2018 edition of productronica, Aismalibar will attend the Munich event and showcase its latest developments in IMS laminates, as well as the new range of automation for production of PCBs of the Technosystem brand.
Aismalibar will be located in productronica Hall B3 with stand 351. In addition to offering personalized attention to all those who seek information, it will exhibit machinery from the Technosystem catalog, a brand of The Benmayor Group that develops technology and machinery for the production of PCBs. Aismalibar will also present its new range of loaders, unloaders and robots for the production of printed circuits.
Aismalibar will also showcase COBRITHERM ULTRATHIN 4W - TG180ºC - 150ºC MOT, an insulated metal substrate (IMS) based on an aluminum cladding with an ED copper sheet on the opposite side, containing an innovative ultra-thin polymer-ceramic dielectric layer of its own formulation, offering industry-leading thermal conductivity and high dielectric strength. It also offers strong MOT, high Tg and low CTE values, which are the key elements for performance of MPCBs operating at high temperatures.
The Thermal Multilayer product range will also be presented as well as products for the development of multilayer PCBs that can be combined to customize solutions for complex electronic designs and applications. THIN LAM and BOND SHEET can be used in standard multilayer lamination processes to improve resistance to thermal shocks, conductivity and thermal dissipation.
The new THIN LAM and BOND SHEETS of 3.2W have been developed to reduce thermal resistance. An MOT of 150ºC, high Tg values of 180ºC and low CTE below 1.8% (50 to 250ºC) considerably improve the overall thermal efficiency.
About Aismalibar
AISMALIBAR is a manufacturer of copper clad laminates who produces high quality base materials for the PCB industry. AISMALIBAR was one of the first IMS laminate manufacturers in the world and was the first in Europe.

Happy’s Tech Talk #40: Factors in PTH Reliability—Hole Voids
07/09/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkWhen we consider via reliability, the major contributing factors are typically processing deviations. These can be subtle and not always visible. One particularly insightful column was by Mike Carano, “Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper,” where he outlined some of the possible causes of hole defects for both plated through-hole (PTH) and blind vias.
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.
Day 2: More Cutting-edge Insights at the EIPC Summer Conference
06/18/2025 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007The European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC) summer conference took place this year in Edinburgh, Scotland, June 3-4. This is the third of three articles on the conference. The other two cover Day 1’s sessions and the opening keynote speech. Below is a recap of the second day’s sessions.
