CIMS is launching its next generation AVI solution for IC Substrates based on a brand new platform – Capricorn. The new system features dual stage and dual camera and is powered by the most advanced hardware and software offering high capacity inspection along with greatly enhanced detection capabilities on both metal and solder mask.
Capricorn based multiple resolutions models come in several configurations in order to achieve optimized performance for wide range of ICS strip types. Thanks to the dual camera and high speed automation, Capricorn systems are capable achieving significantly higher throughput at high resolutions.
Furthermore, Capricorn AVI systems are fully compatible with advanced Industry 4.0 requirements including scanning and handling barcode information, internal and external database connectivity, full compatibility with CIMS virtual verification system specifically designed for AVI inspection (VVS/AVI) as well as supporting external data protocols for factory-wide smart factory integration.

Ever since liquid photoimageable solder masks (LPISMs) were introduced, their UV exposure speed has been a key factor in their performance. The LPISM is coated onto the PCB, dried, and then selectively exposed with UV light via a phototool, or more recently, via direct imaging using LED or lasers. The exposed areas polymerise and become insoluble in the developing solution. The polymerisation is initiated by one or more chemicals called photoinitiators, which are components of the LPISM.

Widely believed to be the traditional Centre of England, Meriden was a popular venue for a gathering of the UK printed circuit community this month. They braved the forecast of heavy snow for the Institute of Circuit Technology’s annual general meeting to learn about current developments and challenges in a thought-provoking technical seminar and to network with industry peers and contemporaries. Thankfully, the forecasted heavy snowfall did not reach Meriden until after the event; we only had a few flurries, although the weather caused considerable disruption elsewhere in the country.
