Areas of expertise

Metallization of holes (PTH)

Plated through hole is one of the most complex processes for printed circuit manufacturers to master. Our service team are experts in this process and can provide manufacturing optimization, process control and recommendations for a sound metallization-of-hole process.

Final finishing and electrolytic plating

Review of electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG, ENEPIG), immersion silver, immersion tin, and electrolytic copper and tin.

Primary imaging

Review of inner layer and outer layer primary imaging processes, with a focus on yield improvement, optimization and efficiency.

Technical assessments

A review of your current and future printed circuit board technology and capabilities, including a roadmap to the next generation that aligns equipment and processes.

Multilayer lamination

Review and assessment of the multilayer process and press calibration for copper clad laminates.

Equipment audits

An audit gives you a baseline condition of your equipment. Most take only a couple of hours, and the information assures you the equipment was thoroughly inspected by factory-trained professionals. The audit report can include pictures and diagnostics of service requirements, along with cost estimates and quotations to bring the equipment back to original specification.
