DYCONEX Invests in MXY2 Drilling and Routing Machine from Schmoll
September 9, 2015 | DYCONEXEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DYCONEX AG, an MST company and the world's leading supplier of highly complex circuit board solutions, has made a major investment in the MXY2 drilling and routing machine from Schmoll Maschinen GmbH. With this move, DYCONEX has made a further step in the development of ever smaller structures and meeting the requirements for even higher accuracy.
With contact depth drilling and optical registration, the machine achieves highly precise machining results with even higher process reliability. Registration with the aid of a CCD camera allows corrections such as offset, rotation, shrinking and stretching. The machine comes with two separate vacuum tables that can be moved quickly and very precisely along every axis with individual linear drives. In this way, both accuracy and productivity are improved. Further, all process data is recorded. This allows traceability of the machining data down to each individual circuit board.
The machine will be used primarily for the manufacture of flexible and rigid-flexible circuit boards. These substrates have applications in, among other things, medical implants that demand the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
About DYCONEX AG:
With 50 years of experience, DYCONEX is one of the leading provider of highly complex flexible, rigid-flex and rigid HDI (high-density interconnect)/microvia printed circuit boards for every application where miniaturization, functionality increase, quality and reliability play a role.
DYCONEX is headquartered in Bassersdorf, Switzerland and is a company of the Micro Systems Technologies Group.
About the Micro Systems Technologies group:
The Micro Systems Technologies Group comprises four technology companies providing innovative components, engineering and manufacturing services for medical devices, especially implants, as well as other high-tech applications that demand exceptional quality, performance and reliability.
Active around the globe, the MST companies DYCONEX AG (Switzerland), LITRONIK Batterietechnologie GmbH (Germany), Micro Systems Engineering GmbH (Germany) and Micro Systems Engineering, Inc. (USA) offer their customers integrated solutions that range from conceptual design through series production.

Defining the Ideal PCB Design Data Output
05/27/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAAt the heart of delivering successful, manufacturable printed circuit boards lies a vital question: What should your design data output package include to best support manufacturing? The answer: It depends. There are many factors to consider regarding the specific category you’re designing for—such as mil/aero, space, medical, and commercial. Other factors that need to be considered are requirements and engineering intent.
