FlexVIA-Plus delivers single-stage plasma processing - including etchback and desmear -- of up to 30 panels (panel size 500 x 813mm/ 20 x 32") per cycle, enabling a rate of as much as 200 units per hour. For manufacturing flexible PCBs. Horizontal electrode design, with integrated rack, provides optimum material alignment. Versatile horizontal racks for processing of various flexible PCB sizes and make loading easy. Small footprint. Descum effectively removes resist residue from innerlayers and panels and residual solder mask bleed for better bonding and solderability. Features temperature-controlled electrodes for process repeatability.

PCB Library Expert 2014 v2 automatically loads user default FPX library defined in User Preferences (this is in addition to the command line library load and open). Includes fixes or enhancements for Pads Layout (.d ASCII files will now properly use degrees, rather than tenths of a degree, when outputting to a format older than V9.0); CADInt (units issue that was preventing parts with copper finger shapes from importing properly); Altium Designer (issue that was preventing the Polarity dot from being converted from a label to a shape); 3D STEP (SODFL – Lead generation and placement, and cleaned up the 3D model body).
3D part of the Translator Window now visible (although not active) to non-3D License users.
Also comes in Lite version.
