Ventec Giga Solutions Adds Surge Robotic Optical PCB LayUp Systems to Distribution Range
November 8, 2023 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Ventec Giga Solutions, the equipment division of Ventec International Group announces it has been appointed by Surge Robotic as sales agent and distributor of Optical PCB Layup Systems. The agreement covers EMEA, UK and the Americas.
Surge Robotic was founded in 2020 and launched the industry’s first four-camera optical PCB laminating system after two years of extensive research and development. The Falcon Lineup offers unprecedented precision and productivity.
Falcon employs four corner etch targets to align and detect PCB inner layer deformation to calculate and modify placement. Scratch free handling for all PCB layers of any type of material is ensured. Additionally, PCB manufacturers can use inner layer measurement data to monitor and adjust their processes accordingly, thus enabling Smart Manufacturing.
"Falcon offers the fastest layup system on the market and is optionally available with a fully automatic loading system," said Ramesh Dhokia, Business Unit Director, Ventec Giga Solutions. "With our goal to provide our customers with the best PCB manufacturing equipment available in the industry, we are thrilled to add them to our Ventec Giga Solutions offering. We are excited to showcase our new relationship with Surge Robotic at Productronica 2023 at booth B3/242."
"We aim to leverage Surge Robotics' breakthrough technology and innovative spirit into a competitive advantage within our Ventec Giga Solutions PCB equipment lineup. Their unique machine technology delivers the value and performance our customers need for the future of manufacturing," added Mark Goodwin, COO of Ventec International Group.
Ventec Giga Solutions handles factory design, equipment selection, sales, installation, commissioning, and training on behalf of customers. The division’s competencies and connections with numerous leading equipment suppliers, combined with the Ventec portfolio of high-performance substrate laminates and prepregs, presents a one-stop-shop for PCB manufacturers, OEMs, and manufacturing services companies to quickly establish and rapidly expand their facilities.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Ensuring a Smooth Handoff From PCB Design to Fabrication
03/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAt the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's 4x100-meter relay team had high hopes of winning a medal. The team comprised some of the fastest sprinters in the world, but something went wrong. In a relay, four runners must smoothly pass their baton to the next runner inside a zone on the track. If a runner drops the baton or it’s passed outside the zone, the team risks disqualification. The U.S. team’s pass between the second and third runner was messy, slowing them down. By the time the last runner received the baton, the team had lost too much time. They finished sixth in their heat and didn’t qualify for the final.
