Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

Sunstone Circuits Boosts Capability with Micronic Mach-2 Nano Drilling Machine
June 14, 2016 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Sunstone Circuits, the leading printed circuit board (PCB) prototype-through-production solutions provider, has acquired a Micronic Mach-2 Nano Series drilling machine. The Mach-2 provides the ability to drill smaller holes (as small as 0.004”) with exceptional hole wall quality, and is capable of controlled depth drilling. The new drill machinery also provides a greater accuracy of the drilled holes, especially on the smaller bits. The state-of-the-art tool management system, laser tool inspection and broken bit detection, coupled with the linear motion technology, provides the ability to be more efficient in the drilling process, saving time in the manufacturing process.
“At Sunstone, we are committed to increasing our overall technology offerings and the quality of the product we provide, and this new drill machine helps us do both,” said Director of Operations Nancy Viter. “Adding machinery such as this allows us to continue to offer our customers more and better options, saving them time and money.”
The new manufacturing machinery complements a growing suite of PCB solutions from Sunstone which includes new in-house ENIG capabilities, expanded lead times and enhancements for PCBExpress® Quickturn and PCB123®, increased capability and shorter lead times for v-score requirements, Bundled Assembly, and SMT Stencils with or without nano coating, to name a few. With all of these offerings, Sunstone Circuits is continuing to differentiate themselves as the preferred comprehensive PCB solutions provider within the marketplace.
Sunstone Circuits remains committed to providing the best technical support in the printed circuit board industry. Anyone seeking answers or assistance can reach live technical support representatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year, via the web, telephone or via online chat.
