Shenzhen, China – HKPCA Show– Orbotech Pacific Ltd. is presenting, in Booth #H23 Hall 1, the Company’s latest solutions available for bare PCB manufacturers in Asia Pacific to expand their business opportunities.

An in-booth seminar being conducted several times each day features the breakthrough capabilities and performance advantages of the recently introduced Paragon™-Xpress 9 Laser Direct Imaging system for mass production.

Also being demonstrated is InCAM™, the new comprehensive, high-precision computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system for HDI and IC substrates developed by Frontline PCB Solutions as well as Orbotech’s PerFix™ AOR system and Sprint™-8 inkjet legend printer. Orbotech’s Discovery™-8800 automated optical inspection (AOI) system will be on display in the booth of the Company’s local business partner, Emerson.

“As we look at critical success factors for suppliers in today’s market, we believe that making sure availability meets opportunity is the key”, said Mr. Richard Klapholz, President of Orbotech Pacific Ltd. “For example, with our latest system introductions, we are pleased to make available enabling solutions that are both practical and economical to meet our customers’ opportunities for production of high technology PCBs. Another example is in the availability of our newly developed technologies that provide the opportunity to achieve additional yield improvements that can save millions of dollars per year.”

Orbotech’s “Expand Your Business Opportunities” program features solutions for PCB manufacturers to achieve greater levels of productivity and performance. Highlighted are latest capabilities in Laser Direct Imaging (LDI), laser plotting, inkjet legend printing, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), Automated Optical Repair (AOR) and CAM/Engineering for mainstream and high density interconnect (HDI) applications.

Utilizing Orbotech’s high performance systems, manufacturers can maximize market share by gaining major improvements in production flexibility and time-to-sample, minimize costs a result of significant scrap PCB and material savings, shorter production processes and simpler operation as well as extend their capabilities to advanced products by achieving the required pattern miniaturization, registration accuracy and traceability essential for producing premium-price panels.

About Paragon™-Xpress 9 Mass Production Digital Imaging

Designed for high speed throughput of up to 5,000 panels a day per in-line solution, Paragon-Xpress 9 is the Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) system for mass production digital imaging of HDI, Flex and Rigid-Flex applications. Combining Orbotech’s field-proven Large Scan Optics (LSO) technology with high registration accuracy, the automated Paragon-Xpress 9 improves yields and productivity to achieve unparalleled imaging results on the most advanced applications – faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

About PerFix™Automated Optical Repair (AOR) System

PerFix AOR is a fully automated optical repair solution for shorts and excess copper. For the first time ever, PCBs that in the past had to be scrapped can now be automatically repaired and saved. Featuring Orbotech's breakthrough, patent-pending CLR Technology™, (Closed Loop Repair), PerFix employs advanced image acquisition and image processing combined with superior laser control. PerFix achieves highly accurate, repeatable and reliable results - any time, every time - which are not possible with manual repair.
