Matrix Announces the Opening of their Equipment Demonstration Room in Mississauga, Ontario
August 16, 2024 | Matrix ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In the past year Matrix installed a complete equipment process line for dry film imaging at the Matrix Electronics head office in Mississauga, Ontario. Equipment is installed in a newly refurbished area complete with yellow lighting to support dry film lamination and includes the following equipment:
- Advanced Engineering SAP 650 Loader
- Matrix EC-24 Non-Contact Electrostatic Cleaner
- Latest model of the Hakuto 6630NP dry film laminator
- Advanced Engineering CSD – 30 stage buffer
- Advanced Engineering PMA101-CPB mylar Peeler
- Advanced Engineering SRV652 Unloader
- Advanced Engineer conveyors and MUX panel turn multiplexor
Customers can experience the cleaning, lamination, buffering, mylar peeling and unloading of their own test panels automatically in one process line.
“Process automation is a hot topic today among the PCB fabs in North America. Everyone wants this capability but integrating this process into existing facilities is challenging. This demonstration room provides our customers with the opportunity to see, touch and evaluate this equipment before committing to a purchase, providing additional confidence in the validation of their investment. This is especially true for new equipment like the Advanced Engineering PMA101-CPB Mylar Peeler. We look forward to hosting our customers with this new capability,” remarked Bob Berg, VP of Business Development.

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.
