Orbotech to Showcase its Nuvogo 1000 DI and Sprint 200 Solutions at productronica
November 10, 2015 | OrbotechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
