Orbotech to Showcase its Nuvogo 1000 DI and Sprint 200 Solutions at productronica
November 10, 2015 | OrbotechEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At productornica this week, ORBOTECH LTD is exhibiting its recently launched, high accuracy Nuvogo™ 1000 Direct Imaging (DI) system which significantly enhances quality, production throughput and TCO and Sprint 200, the fast, high precision PCB legend inkjet printer.
Orbotech’s Nuvogo 1000 DI solution brings high accuracy and fast throughput to demanding patterning, solder mask and flex solder mask applications. Utilizing a high-power laser and Orbotech’s unique MultiWave Laser Technology, the Nuvogo 1000 delivers small undercut and excellent side walls. The high depth-of-focus achieved by field-proven Orbotech Large Scan Optics (LSO) technology ensures unmatched quality on the most challenging surface topographies. The system also offers advanced scaling modes for high precision registration, and a dual table mechanism to optimize imaging time.
When describing the Nuvogo 1000, Albert Angel, General Manager of Lab Circuits, a Spanish PCB manufacturer specializing in Quick Turnaround (QTA), said “With the Nuvogo 1000, our throughput increased by more than 65% on solder mask applications while maintaining the desired level of quality. Since one shift was eliminated, we also achieved significant cost savings.”
Powered by Orbotech DotStream Pro Technology, the new Sprint 200 delivers cost-effective, top quality industrial legend inkjet printing. It enables consistently accurate high volume production of even the most advanced legend designs on a wide range of substrate thicknesses and types, including rigid or flex. The Sprint 200 achieves close to 90% one-pass production coverage, significantly more than other leading solutions.
“Orbotech has always been committed to bringing innovative, cost-effective, high-quality solutions to Europe’s PCB manufacturers,” said Hadar Himmelman, Orbotech West President. “At Productronica 2015, our new Nuvogo 1000 DI and Sprint 200 Inkjet systems further demonstrate this commitment.“
Orbotech will also show other state-of-the-art PCB production solutions including the Fusion 22 Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system and Frontline PCB Solutions’ CAM and Engineering software at Productronica show in Munich, Hall B1, Booth #321.

Connect the Dots: Designing for the Future of Manufacturing Reality—Surface Finish
05/07/2026 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen designing the complex boards that many electronic devices require to operate, designers should consider manufacturability at every step. This is my last article focused on designing for the always-evolving manufacturing reality. Choosing the right surface finish has always been important. If you are creating intricate designs with a wide variety of components, like for an ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) board, surface finish is a critical last step.
