At this year’s leading PCB trade show, productronica, the Schmid Group is presenting its latest automation solutions and the InfinityLine V+ for the contact-free vertical processing of thin circuit boards and substrates.
It offers a particularly high degree of user friendliness, a significant reduction in chemical drag-in and drag-out, compliance with the highest energy efficiency standards, particularly low wear and a significantly long service life.
The vertical processing of printed circuit boards and substrates using transport-clamping frames opens up new possibilities. The InfinityLine V+ is characterized by a secure contact-free transport and the homogeneous treatment of thin circuit boards and substrates. The contact-free transport and the minimized drag-in and drag-out maximize the yield when performing various sensitive processes, such as development (Litho & SR), flash etch, stripping (including amines), pre-treatment, and ti etch. The new drive system below the production level prevents the deposition of particles on the product and thus offers a clean room capacity.
It supports the requirements of Industry 4.0 by providing interfaces to the customer’s individual Manufacturing Execution System (MES). In addition, various applications are available for product tracking, data history management, as well as data processing of water, chemical and energy consumption. The web-enabled user interface makes it possible to monitor and control the system.
The InfinityLine V+ offers the possibility of integration into an intralogistics system. The Single Panel / Frame Automation from the company is available for transporting the printed circuit boards and substrates between the process lines. Loaders, unloaders, and buffer systems are also available.
Real and virtual highlights
At productronica, visitors can have a closer look at the InfinityLine V+ system and may take advantage of virtual activities. The company uses virtual-reality glasses to give three-dimensional insights into tomorrow’s technology world. Also on display, will be the company’s vision of a factory of the future with fully automated processes.
