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?

American Standard Circuits Installs LAMV 125 Lamination Press from Burkle
February 15, 2023 | American Standard CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
West Chicago, Illinois PCB fabricator American Standard Circuits has recently purchased and installed a new Burkle LAMV 125 thermal oil heated lamination press.
This state-of-the-art solution from Burkle incorporates the latest technology. Details of the thermal oil heated press, type LAMV include:
- Press range: 20 tons – 2000 tons
- Hydraulically operated
- Thermal oil heated and cooled
- Vacuum available
- Operating temperatures up to 385° C
- Platen size up to 1.400 x 2.350 m.
“This new press will give us the layer-to-layer registration and lamination thickness that we need as we continue to raise our level of technology. This will also prove beneficial when it comes to tighter registration as well as drilling accuracy for both location and depth-controlled drilling,” commented ASC President and CEO Anaya Vardya.
American Standard Circuits (ASC) prides itself on being a total solutions provider, manufacturing quality rigid, metal-backed, RF/microwave, flex, and rigid-flex PCBs for the medical, automotive, industrial, defense, and aerospace markets in volumes from test and prototypes to large production orders. ASC has the expertise to provide a wide variety of technologies in a time-critical environment. ASC is also a licensee of the Averatek A-SAP™ technology which gives them the capability of manufacturing sub 25 micron lines / spaces. Their qualifications include AS9100 Rev D, ISO 9001:2015, IATF16949:2016 MIL-PRF 31032, MIL-PRF-55110, MIL-PRF-50884 certification and ITAR registration. In addition to manufacturing in the USA, ASC can transition and manage PCB requirements to lower cost regions via its qualified supply chain of offshore partners. ASC also holds many key patents for metal bonding processes. For more information about American Standard Circuits' services or to ask one of their technology experts a question go to www.asc-i.com.
