Matrix to Show New PCB Drill Tools at IPC APEX 2016
March 7, 2016 | MatrixEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
After a 10 year partnership with Jinzhou Precision Technology Corp. the relationship is paying increasing dividends for both Matrix and its customers. Jinzhou, is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of precision carbide tools. Their expertise and continuing development of state-of-the–art tools addresses the hole-wall quality and micro drilling registration needs of the new generation high-speed low-loss laminates.
Matrix encourages customers to visit Booth 247 at IPC APEX EXPO, March 15-17 in Las Vegas, to discuss with their engineering staff the many varieties of drill application tools, hybrid single-flute, undercut and standard, anti-fracture routers, and pilot and back drills.
New for 2016 will be the Hybrid Single-Flute Drill designed for drilling high aspect-ratio and heavy copper content PCBs. This tool provides improved registration, less breakage, reduced need for pilot drilling, lower number of pecks, and excellent hole-wall quality.
Along with the two PerfectPoint Repointing Centers in Toronto, Canada and Santa Ana, California, Matrix provides the full service for all PCB manufacturers. Both facilities are equipped with the identical automatic sharpening/AOI and ultrasonic cleaning systems.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
07/18/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007It may be the middle of the summer, but the news doesn’t quit, and there’s plenty to talk about this week, whether you’re talking technical or on a global scale. When I have to choose six items instead of my regular five, you know it’s good. I start by highlighting my interview with Martyn Gaudion on his latest book, share some concerning tariff news, follow that up with some promising (and not-so-promising) investments, and feature a paper from last January’s inaugural Pan-European Design Conference.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
