Merlin Circuit Technology Enhances Solder Mask Coating Technology (LPI)
December 10, 2024 | Merlin Circuit TechnologyEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Merlin Circuit Technology has invested in the latest LPI coating system installing the AHK Atomizer. The AHK spray coating system delivers enhanced capability with improved uniformity of coating on the PCB surface and greater encapsulation of copper features. The unit is fully enclosed with HEPA filtration reducing FOD while maintaining a clean working environment
The AHK also brings an uplift in capacity with reduced down time for colour changes and maintenances. The conveyorized transport delivers PCB product, coated and dried, in under 15 minutes, this in conjunction with the Schmoll MDI TT digital imaging system enables Merlin to respond to a fast-moving market with increased technical demands.
