Kintex, South Korea, April 24, 2018 | Orbotech Ltd., a leading provider of process innovation technologies, solutions and equipment that are enabling the transformation of the global electronics manufacturing industry, will showcase a selection of its most innovative, direct imaging (DI), automated optical inspection (AOI), automated optical shaping (AOS) and inkjet/additive printing solutions for SLP/mSAP (substrate-like PCB/modified semi-additive process) and Flex PCB production and pre-production, at the 2018 KPCA show in Kintex, South Korea.
At the show, Orbotech will present its SLP/mSAP and Flex PCB production solutions including the innovative Nuvogo™ Fine 9 DI for patterning and Orbotech Diamond™ 8 DI for solder mask, along with the groundbreaking Precise™ 800 AOS solution which both removes excess copper and deposits missing copper to significantly increase yield. At the Orbotech KPCA booth, visitors will also see how all these solutions are supported by Industry 4.0 compliant Orbotech Smart Factory and Frontline’s InCAM® Flex and InPlan® Flex CAM data optimization and planning tools.
Orbotech will also demonstrate the recently launched 4-in-1 Ultra Dimension™ 800 AOI solution with integrated pattern inspection, laser via inspection, remote multi-image verification (RMIV) and 2D metrology. Orbotech’s new vision is to simplify the complex inspection process for advanced PCB manufacturing. The new AOI room concept is designed to enable manufacturers to increase their quality and yields while reducing their overall total cost of ownership (TCO).
“As one of the most advanced PCB manufacturing markets, we are looking forward to KPCA 2018 and to presenting our latest, most advanced DI, AOI, AOS and Industry 4.0 solutions to SLP/mSAP and flex PCB manufacturers,” said Mr. Avihou Barkay, President of Orbotech Asia East, PCB. “We are constantly developing innovative solutions such as Orbotech Diamond™ 8 solder mask DI and Ultra Dimension™ 800 AOI to help our customers gain unique advantages on top of increased yields and reduced costs.”
