PCB Dry-Film Patterning

Description

The X2000 DF Series is LIMATA’s latest laser direct imaging system platform designed for the dry-film patterning of PCB inner and outer layers in medium to high-volume PCB production. Key target applications include standard rigid/flex, advanced (HDI) and custom PCB boards (i.e. thick copper automotive boards). Fully-integrated single and dual-system automation options for an Island of Automation or in-line LDI operation Setup can be provided.

Key system features

  • Integrated dual table system as standard hardware feature for higher production efficiency and throughput levels (panels/h)
  • Multi-wavelength laser set-up with >18.000 hours lifetime (MTBF)
  • Highest optical depth of focus (+/-500µm)
  • Unique modular imaging head concept provides for laser redundancy and in-field system capacity upgrades (additional imaging units)
  • Direct imaging capability on all standard resist types (Hitachi, Asahi, etc.)
  • Ease-of-use operator friendly data interface
  • Designed to minimize maintenance, downtimes and service costs over the entire LDI equipment lifetime

Laser and imaging technologies

  • High-speed Galvo-Scan Laser Technology
  • UV-Multiwave diode laser set-up including three different wavelenghts
  • High-telecentrical optical system

Modular laser direct imaging set-up

  • Based on each customer‘s PCB specification, L/S resolution and direct imaging capacity requirements, the optimum laser imaging Setup (ranging from 1 to 4 exposure heads with up to 6 diode lasers each) can be selected and configured according to customer needs
  • Possibilty to conduct in-field laser upgrades for increased imaging capacities (additional imaging heads) enabled by a modular „plug-in“ concept
