Laser Photonics Advances PCB Marking Technology R&D for Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing
December 13, 2024 | Laser PhotonicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Laser Photonics Corporation, a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, and its recently acquired subsidiary, Control Micro Systems, Inc.(CMS), announced the expansion of their Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Marking technology development program targeting the semiconductor and electronics market.
Laser marking is vital in semiconductor production, a market projected to reach $1 trillion annually by 2030. High-speed laser processing equipment is essential to meet the demand for advanced chips. CMS, with decades of experience, develops automated PCB Marking technology that provides a high-speed process for etching serial numbers, barcodes, logos, and other tracking data with precision and efficiency. These systems can be configured for standalone operation or integrated into existing SMT lines.
“Combining CMS’s expertise with our R&D initiatives allows us to further develop its cutting-edge PCB Marking Technology to meet the semiconductor sector’s stringent demands,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of LPC. “We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible with laser technology as we work toward setting new industry standards.”
The current PCB Marking systems built by CMS are Class I systems that can effectively mark onto all types of PCB, including FR-4, CEM-1, phenolic paper, ceramic substrates, and solder mask substrates. These laser marking systems use off-axis machine vision to detect fiducials, determine processing locations, and verify marked data. CMS Laser is a certified Cognex integrator, leveraging expertise with advanced camera systems.
For LPC, established as a trusted provider of industrial laser equipment, semiconductor technologies are a new sector of focus. Supplemented by CMS expertise, LPC is dedicating resources to research and development in this sector in accordance with its broad diversification strategy, poised to contribute to growing shareholder value and foster greater resilience in evolving markets.
