AISMALIBAR to Launch FASTHERM At Productronica
October 28, 2015 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute

AISMALIBAR is happy to announce their exhibit at the Productronica trade show in Munich, Germany on November 10-13. Productronica is the leading electronics manufacturing showcase in Europe. AISMALIBAR can be found at HALL B-1 BOOTH 350 and encourages all to come see their cutting-edge thermal management solutions.
AISMALIBAR will be showcasing FASTHERM their newest high technology Insulated Metal Substrate. FASTHERM was developed by AISMALIBAR to achieve a faster thermal transition from the LED thermal pad to the heat sink.
This superior thermal transition can be achieved by using the entire COBRITHERM HTC product range with either a Copper or Copper / Aluminium base. By using AISMALIBAR COBRITHERM HTC range together with FASTHERM technology, LEDs operate at a cooler temperature (30ºC to 50ºC lower) due to the direct thermal transition from the thermal pad to the heat sink.
Managing Director, Eduardo Benmayor states “We are very excited to be participating in Productronica 2015 and to be launching our newest techonology FASTHERM. The PCB industry is always moving very fast and we are determined to continue to position ourselves as a leader in thermal solutions.”
About Aismalibar
AISMALIBAR was one of the first IMS laminate manufacturers in the world and was the first in Europe. AISMALIBAR is proud to introduce their material to the North American market in 2012. Their product IMS Cobritherm ® is a qualified and recognized Insulated Metal Substrate which gives the best thermal management solutions with high thermal conductivity, low thermal impedance and high dielectric capacity. AISMALIBAR has implement a 100% proof test with 1-3KV (High Pot Test) to all IMS laminates coming out of their plant. This is the only way to insure the dialectical strength is perfect and that production problems are detected before PCBs arrive to the end user.

Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?
The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
