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.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
