All Flex Solutions Installs New Inner Layer Factory
December 5, 2023 | All Flex SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
All Flex Solutions has purchased and installed a new inner layer factory in their Rigid Flex Center of Excellence located in Minneapolis. This continues their investments in plants and technology to support customers’ needs for capability, speed and increased yield.
All Flex Solutions has purchased and installed:
- IPS Chemical Clean and Microetch Line
- Teknek Surface Cleaner
- Class 10,000 Clean Room
- Hakuto Mach 6630NP – automatic cut sheet dry film laminator
- IPS Develop Etch Strip Line
- Supported with Orbotech Laser Direct Imagers and Automatic Optical Inspection machines
All the equipment is equipped with thin material support, ideal for the thin materials that are typically used in rigid flex manufacturing.
“Our new inner layer factory is going through qualification now,” said Vern Weik. “It will dramatically improve our factory throughput and inner layer yields. We will be able to load finished layers to the floor, with less handling, improved yields, less labor, greater throughput, finer lines and spacing and at higher speeds because it is all one continuous operation.”
Matt Tannehill, President and CEO of the rigid flex operation said “this continues our commitment to serve our customers and with a state-of-the-art operation, to give them the highest quality rigid flex products on the market at the best possible manufacturing yields! We are very excited to see the line qualified for production by our Engineering and Quality Assurance departments.”
