[PRESS RELEASE] MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, today announced a multi-system order from Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing (DSBJ) for the recently-released ESI CapStone™ laser drilling solution for flexible printed circuits (FPC). The order—in double digit quantity—is the result of thorough system evaluation at one of DSBJ’s facilities in China.
“Our testing and evaluation process for CapStone has been rigorous and extensive”, said Cathay Wu, director, purchasing, Material Division, Compeq. “We have processed thousands of panels over the last few months with the CapStone system. We evaluated the system on a wide range of applications and material stacks, as well as numerous via types and sizes—in both panel and roll-to-roll processes—and achieved excellent yield. CapStone showed significant increases in throughput and savings in cost-per-panel, and has met or exceeded our expectations. We look forward to leveraging CapStone for a number of applications and taking advantage of its throughput and yield to stay competitive in this very demanding market.”
ESI's photon playground is laser-focused on showcasing world-class via drilling solutions. The power of the photon is on full display at ESI's booth during the 2018 HKPCA show.
