June 24, 2025 | United Electronics CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
United Electronics Corporation has successfully installed the advanced Schmoll MDI-ST (XL) imaging equipment at their advanced printed circuit board facility. This significant technology investment represents a continued commitment to delivering superior products and maintaining their position as an industry leader in precision PCB manufacturing.
The Schmoll MDI-ST (XL) system brings cutting-edge imaging capabilities that will fundamentally transform their production processes. This sophisticated equipment features high- resolution imaging technology with exceptional accuracy. The system's advanced optical capabilities enable us to hold extremely tight imaging registration which minimizes variations that might compromise product quality, ensuring that every production panel meets exacting standards.
"This installation marks a pivotal moment for United Electronics Corporation," Ramesh Patel (President of United Electronics Corporation) stated. "The MDI-ST (XL)'s precision imaging technology will allow us to achieve new levels of imaging capabilites while significantly reducing setup times. We're not just upgrading our equipment – we're revolutionizing how we approach manufacturing excellence."
The technological advantages of the Schmoll MDI-ST (XL) are substantial. The system incorporates a highly flexible imaging system, capable of multiple wavelengths. Allowing us to image inner/outer photoresists and solder mask at incredible speeds. Automatic CCD alignment removes the human element while also eliminating lengthy setup times. The compact unit incorporates five high speed photoheads. These component designed photoheads can be upgraded in the future when the technology progresses. Expanding future processing benefits under the existing platform.
Perhaps most importantly, this technology will deliver measurable improvements in product outcomes. The company anticipates a reduction in defect rates via improved imaging registration, highly repeatable exposer outcomes, resulting in enhanced customer satisfaction. The system's precision will enable them to work with tighter tolerances and more complex designs, opening new opportunities for innovation and market expansion.
The enhanced quality control capabilities will also reduce waste and rework, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices while improving our operational efficiency. Customers can expect faster turnaround times without any compromise in quality – in fact, they'll receive products that exceed previous quality standards.
This investment reflects our long-term vision for United Electronics Corporation. They are not simply keeping pace with industry standards; they're setting new benchmarks for what's possible in printed circuit board manufacturing. The team has undergone comprehensive training on the new system, and initial production runs have already demonstrated the technology's transformative potential.
United Electronics Corporation remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in precision printed circuit board manufacturing. This latest investment reinforces a commitment their customers, their employees, and the continued growth of their company.
