Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

FKN Systek K5000 Singulates 10 LED strips in One Pass
August 10, 2023 | FKN SystekEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

The K5000 separates V-Scored LED strips up to 48” long. Singulate multiple V-scored PCB panels in one pass with FKN Systek K5000 PCB depanelizers. Any length panel up to 10.4" wide can be separated by placing onto an input conveyor which brings the panels into the singulation cartridge. This is the ideal system for high volume in-line singulation of LED lighting strips.
The K5000 is available as an in line system with SMEMA interface and PLC control system, or as a stand alone operator attended unit. The cutting area is protected by a see through cover to prevent access during operation. Rugged and reliable, the K5000 depaneling system has been proven in over 10 years of production with many high volume contract manufacturers. This machine will process a standard PCB in under 10 seconds, keeping up with the output from any production line. Easily singulate V-Scored Boards of up to 1 Million per year.
Separated panels are passed onto a conveyor belt or output tray. Up to 10 sets of blades can be placed side by side onto the blade cartridge. Changing blade sets for different PCB panels is done from the side of the machine and takes about 15 minutes.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
