YAVNE, ISRAEL -- AOI maker Orbotech today updated previous guidance regarding expected revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and the full year 2010.

High plant utilization rates at its PCB customers have extended into April, leading the company to experience stronger-than-anticipated demand for fabrication process and inspection gear, particularly its laser-direct imaging (LDI) systems.

Orbotech expects to record first-quarter revenues of approximately $103 million and full-year revenues of $460 million to $470 million.
