Printed circuit boards made of flex materials (polymers) are recommended for components that require little space, moveable electronics or fast data connections. They are used for signal transmission or wiring and are often used in combination with rigid printed circuit boards. Typical applications include LED lighting, PC and mobile antennas, various sensors and wearables.

Polyamide offers high mechanical stability, wide temperature ranges and chemical resistance. Foil polymers such as polyester (PET), polyethylene (PEN, PEI) and fluoropolymers are increasingly being used. Machining these materials is often demanding. LPKF ProtoLasers play a key role in the prototyping of flexible PCBs. LPKF has carried out various tests to determine which laser is best suited for which material application.

Processing was carried out with the ProtoLaser U4, ProtoLaser S4 and ProtoLaser R - with significantly different results. Materials used: the polyimide core material Kapton® from DuPont™, DuPont™ Pyralux® (Pyralux® TK and Pyralux® AP), Mylar® PET and a polyamide from the Kempel group. LPKF published the results in the technical report "Fast Prototyping of flexible PCBs using LPKF ProtoLaser".

ProtoLaser for every material

Flexible printed circuit boards have been the solution for connections that need to be movable, that require little space and/or weight, or that require a fast data connection. They usually have only the passive function of transmitting signals. They replace cables and are often found as a part of switches in keyboards, in LED lighting, PC and mobile antennas, various sensors such as motion controls or drug delivery sensors and in wearables.

 Flexible PCBs - typically based on a thin polyimide (PI) film - are multifunctional and can be produced as a single, double or multilayer with plated through holes and surface treatment similar to rigid circuit boards. LPKF ProtoLasers play a key role in the prototyping of flexible PCBs. LPKF has carried out various tests to determine which laser system is best suited for which material application.

Relaxed Working with a Clear View on Brilliant

3D Images – Perfect Ergonomics for Your Quality Control and Production

Beside classic stereo microscopes, digital 2D video inspection systems have been introduced to the areas of quality control and intricate precision work due to their improved ergonomics. However, image capturing and display on the monitor have been confined to the 2nd dimension up to now. Therefore, precision work under the camera requiring spatial coordination or the assessment of topographical structures and defects are hardly possible.

Technoscope 3D closes this gap. Profit from the benefits of Technoscope and increase the efficiency of your quality control and production.

Your Benefits:

• High-resolution 3D image material makes fatigue-free working possible
• Ergonomics at the workplace is paramount
  An upright sitting position and a relaxed arm position are the prerequisite for the effective handling and viewing of smallest parts during assembly and control. The amply dimensioned free working space enables you to position the monitor directly behind the object. A round back resulting from viewing the image through an eyepiece or a twisted upper body posture when viewing the monitor are now things of the past.
• “No Latency” for highest-precision work
  Movements are displayed in the 3D image without latency. This means real-time handling, which enables you to work faster and more precisely.
• Uncomplicated commissioning and simple handling
• Fast documentation of the work results                                                    
  A screenshot can be made by pushing a button anytime and the frozen image can be saved via USB stick/network or used for further processing.

Applications:

• Quality control, high-throughput visual inspection tasks
• Precision work, such as assembly of smallest components, connector assembly, solder joint inspection, etc.
• Monitoring of spatial structures (crystallography, materials science, etc.)

Get PCB Prototypes Sooner with In-House Rapid PCB Prototyping

Save Time with In-House Prototyping

In-house circuit board prototyping eliminates waiting for external suppliers. With LPKF systems and solutions, even complex PCB prototypes can be completed and tested in a single day. Projects are completed sooner – reducing time to market.

The LPKF product line fully covers every step of the prototyping process, from structuring to SMD assembly. All methods are designed for ease of use so that even inexperienced users can quickly produce high quality prototypes.

Advantages of In-House Rapid PCB Prototyping:

• Chemical-free production possible
• Development process without delays
• Quicker marketability
• Layout data remains in-house

Results

With LPKF equipment, prototype fabrication – from data preparation to assembly – takes only one day.

LPKF systems can produce multilayers of up to eight layers in addition to single and double-sided circuit boards. They even handle RF and microwave circuit board manufacturing with ease.

All LPKF systems are perfectly coordinated to ensure the fastest possible production process: once the data has been imported, a LPKF circuit board plotter or ProtoLaser will start processing. The structured circuit board is then used as a substrate that can be through-plated, laminated and populated. Processes for applying solder resist and screen printing complete the product line.
