Perfect Point Announces Release of New FPC & Adhesive Based Material Endmill
October 30, 2019 | Perfect PointEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Perfect Point and Jinzhou have recently released the newly designed “SR111RE” single flute endmill. The “SR111RE” is an enhanced single flute endmill specifically engineered for processing of FPC, rigid-flex builds and adhesive layers with an excellent finish.
Perfect Point has identified and solved an industry challenge in cutting/milling soft materials, particularly with builds containing adhesive layers. Traditional endmills in the market generate a significant amount of heat during the routing process with these soft materials, resulting in a poor edge finish on the panel profile. The modified helix and other geometry improvements on the SR111RE prove to be extremely effective at heat mitigation by more effectively evacuating debris, resulting is a nice profile finish.
In addition to these design attributes, the “SR111RE” is available with Perfect Point’s “CARBONITE” proprietary coating allowing for improved wear resistance and even better debris evacuation for more complex builds.
“We are delighted to introduce our new SR111RE tools to North America. This revolutionary design will allow PCB manufacturers to realize significantly yields and produce higher quality product,” says Edson Bosetti, product manager.

Connect the Dots: Navigating the Intricacies of PCB Drilling
08/01/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWelcome to another leg on my quest to share best practices associated with designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. In a recent episode of the On the Line with... podcast, we discussed the critical role of drilling in the board manufacturing process. That is the subject of this article. Drilling can be one of the most complex and tricky steps in the manufacturing process. Designers need to be aware of how to craft their designs to avoid problems during drilling that can drive up costs and increase the risk of board performance issues.
