Matrix's NEW Hakuto Dry Film Laminator Impresses at IPC
April 14, 2016 | MatrixEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Matrix is delighted with customer reaction at last month’s North American IPC unveiling of the new Hakuto Mach 630NP/6630NP Series Dry Film Laminators and is now ready to provide Sales and Service to all regions of North America.
During the recent APEX/IPC Show in Las Vegas, customers were amazed at the new and Innovative technology such as changing rolls in a matter of seconds.
Matrix believes the NEW Hakuto Mach 630NP Dry Film Laminator will change the game for PCB manufacturing.
Fred Long, Matrix Business Development says: “The new Mach 630NP machine addresses the accuracy needed to assist in the transfer of very fine lines on the latest HSLL laminates using Super Low Profile Copper surfaces. This is made possible by the new Lamination Module with its EVEN Heat and EVEN Pressure across the entire surface of the laminated panel. In addition, the ability to change the rubber lamination rolls in seconds will not only increase productivity but will also offer alternative “quick change” rubber solutions for different product needs. The complete redesign of the film lamination approach will now begin to reach the most important users of this latest technology. Matrix is eager to show manufacturers that by using the new system, Productivity and Yield will now surpass all traditional ROI expectations.”

During the next few weeks, Matrix is scheduled to place additional machines in three specific regional areas in the US. Customers will then be able to travel to these sites and see the machines in operation.

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.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
