SOMACIS, a leading European PCB manufacturer and long-time customer and technology partner of Orbotech, has been successfully using Orbotech¡¯s new Nuvogo 800 Direct Imaging (DI) system at its fabrication facility at Castelfidardo (AN), Italy. SOMACIS specializes in HDI, rigid, rigid-flex and flex PCB manufacturing.
Orbotech¡¯s Nuvogo DI solution, incorporating unique MultiWave Laser Technology™, is expected to help SOMACIS increase its competitive edge in manufacturing for HDI sequential build-up technology with a pitch under 0.4 mm. The system will reinforce the already very high quality SOMACIS production standards by improving the speed and flexibility required for rapid prototyping.
¡°SOMACIS was looking for a DI system that would support a variety of applications, ranging from inner/outer layers to solder mask. The Nuvogo 800 system not only meets these requirements, but also offers the highest accuracy and throughput with flexibility to image any resist type¡±, explained Mr. Giovanni Tridenti, SOMACIS CEO. ¡°We are very pleased with the results that Nuvogo 800 has delivered and value the high professional standards Orbotech offers, matched fully by its top-of-the-line technology. Orbotech¡¯s proven reliability of service, mindset of true partnership and quality equipment all contributed to our decision to invest yet again in another successful Orbotech solution.¡±
¡°It is with great satisfaction that we acknowledge SOMACIS¡¯s positive feedback. We are pleased that the Nuvogo 800 system supports SOMACIS¡¯s goals through its fine line capabilities, faster turnaround time and the flexibility across multiple resist types for a range of applications¡±, stated Mr. Hadar Himmelman, President of Orbotech West. ¡°We are very pleased to have the opportunity to provide this esteemed technology partner with best-in-class solutions.¡±
About Nuvogo 800
Nuvogo™ 800 is a next-generation Direct Imaging (DI) solution capable of imaging on almost every resist type, affording maximum flexibility to PCB makers. Powered by MultiWave Laser Technology™, Nuvogo 800 generates a multi wavelength laser beam for optimal line structure. This provides PCB manufacturers the ability to choose lower-cost resist types in order to further reduce total operating costs.
This high-productivity machine is able to achieve up to 7,000 panels/day/line at unprecedented quality. Superior line quality and registration accuracy is achieved through Orbotech¡¯s field-proven Large Scan Optics (LSO) Technology™. Suitable for the most advanced HDI production, Nuvogo 800 ensures a high depth-of-focus critical for maximizing yields in increasingly challenging production environments. The combination of super high-productivity, flexibility to use almost any resist and unmatched yields results in the lowest possible cost-per-print and significantly lowers the system's total cost of ownership.
