Orbotech Apeiron™
UV laser drilling for flex R2R and sheet-by-sheet
Orbotech Apeiron™ provides best-in-class, high speed UV laser drilling for roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-by-sheet panel manufacturing of flexible printed circuits (FPCs). The Orbotech Apeiron enables manufacturers to achieve continuously high quality, high accuracy, high throughput drilling of even the smallest vias. Leveraging its field-proven Multi-Path Technology™ in conjunction with the newly developed Roll Inside Technology™ and Continuous Beam Uniformity (CBU) Technology™, the Orbotech Apeiron is designed for a wide variety of drilling applications, including blind vias (BV), through hole vias (THV) and routing.
