Current IssueEngineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.
Technology Roadmaps
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap?

Indubond to Feature Innovative Multilayer Press Technology at productronica 2019
November 5, 2019 | IndubondEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indubond will be featuring new technology for the manufacture of PCBs at productronica 2019 in Munich. The company is set to present a multilayer lamination press: the InduBond X-Press and a compact bonding station: the InduBond X1.
The InduBond X-Press family is a revolutionary concept in multilayer press technology that has been developed utilizing electromagnetic energy to heat the existing stainless-steel separator plates with a never-before conceived accuracy and precision. The heating and cooling systems embedded within a robust hydraulic press inside a vacuum chamber design are controlled using a temperature feedback loop that guarantees perfect fidelity between the press recipe and the press result. This unique, electromagnetic induction technology helps make engineer’s desires become reality. All this while realizing an energy consumption savings in excess of 80% compared to traditional systems.
Features and benefits of the X-Press multilayer press include:
- Saves time and energy
- Maintains +/- 1 degree control over temperature for every multilayer
- Ramp-up temperature rates of up to 20°C/minute and more
- Cool-down temperature rates of between 0.5 and 5°C/minute
- Applies up to 60 bar of pressure and more
- Applies temperatures of up to 450°C and more
- Applies vacuum of less than 10 mbar and less
- Can process between 1 and 50 multilayer panels at once
