Innerlayer alignment is a critical step in PCB manufacturing, influencing the overall accuracy and reliability of multilayer boards. Different alignment methods exist, but for complex designs—such as those with mixed materials, high layer counts, or large dimensions—Schmoll’s Optiflex-2 post-etch punch system delivers the best results.
One of key factors behind the superior performance of the Optiflex-2 is its advanced optical system. The machine is equipped with eight high-precision alignment cameras (four on the top side and four on the bottom), ensuring a highly accurate measurement of each board from both sides. This allows for precise adjustments before lamination, reducing layer shifts and improving overall board quality.
Another standout feature is the sophisticated lighting system within the cameras. Designed to handle a wide range of materials, the lighting setup enables consistent and reliable alignment, even with challenging PCB substrates.
With its cutting-edge technology, the Optiflex-2 is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking the highest level of precision in innerlayer alignment. Contact Schmoll today to learn more about how this system can enhance your PCB production process.
