92ML thermally conductive multilayer epoxy laminate and prepreg is ceramic-filled. Has a thermal conductivity of 2 W/mK for multilayer PWBs for applications requiring thermal management throughout the entire board volume. Reduces hot-spots and dependence on thermal vias and heat-sinks; has glass transition temperature of 170°C for plated through-hole reliability, Pb-free solder application. Has decomposition temperature >350°C, ideally suited for Pb-free solder processing. Has electrical strength of >1000 V/mil for use in high-power handling.

Multistation EVO LZ is a modular single-spindle micro drilling and precision routing machine. Is reportedly ideal for small batches and quick turnaround needs. Each station is an independent machine. Can connect as many modules as needed to form a single line running different jobs. Each module can be configured with a different spindle type (drilling or routing) and equipped with an automatic loading and unloading system. Is equipped with a CCD camera system.

Combo L/HPL is for x-ray optimization, drilling, routing and measuring. Includes standard x-ray features and accurate driller and router. Is for high-end multilayer products. One step x-ray drilling and routing function performs, via x-ray system, panel’s target detection and deformation compensation (linear, non-linear rotation, offset and scaling) and direct drilling or routing a regular job. No need to move the panel or reload a different software. Multiple inspections with multiple targets and multiple compensation per panel sections are possible.
