Orbotech Ltd., a supplier of yield-enhancing and process-enabling solutions for the manufacture of electronics products, announced that Protecno, a France-based electronics manufacturer and part of Groupe GTID, has purchased the first Nuvogo Direct Imaging (DI) solution to be installed in France. The electronics manufacturer intends to leverage this equipment to improve the long-term reliability of their printed circuit boards and thus meet the stringent electronics demands required for harsh environments.
The company specializes in small and medium series, multilayer rigid flex, hyper frequencies, HDI and special boards, serving military, aeronautic, medical, transport and telecom customers. They are members of a consortium that is involved in a special project to design and manufacture a high density mixed microwave and digital board, on a multilayer material designed with at least two different electronic boards or based on a heterogeneous substrate material.
“Protecno needed a set of solutions for rigid and flex applications that require superior DoF (Depth of Focus) for panels with uneven topology, high line uniformity and sharp side walls to ensure high quality impedance control,” said Mr. Lucien Traon, CEO.
Nuvogo 500 is a member of the Orbotech Nuvogo family of Direct Imaging (DI) solutions. Utilizing a high-power laser and unique MultiWave laser technology, it provides maximum flexibility on a wide range of materials and applications. Incorporating the company’s field-proven Large Scan Optics (LSO) technology with its high depth-of-focus, it is a perfect match for QTA, Flex and MLB patterning applications that demand fine structures on variating topography. This powerful system is designed for fast throughput while maintaining optimal quality.
