CO2 via drilling for HDI PCB manufacturing and integrated circuit packaging.

Step up to new levels of precision when drilling blind and through-hole vias in a broad range of PCB and ICP materials.

Innovative CO2 laser technology, new control capabilities and applied expertise gained through decades of engineering leadership in flex, combine to deliver breakthrough levels of accuracy, throughput and yield.

 

Geode Features

 

Throughput

HyperSonixTM
Sound waves shape laser pulses to improve via quality and increase throughput.



AcceleDrillTM
Uses sound waves to distribute light to drill different vias without optics path adjustments (no downtime). 

Accuracy

VDCTM
Via density compensation improves via diameter stability, accuracy and throughput.



AeroCoreTM
Integrated structural air flow supports improved thermal equilibrium and simplified maintenance.

Footprint

LiteDesignTM
Compact and lightweight system architecture allows for more flexibility in system placement and use on production floor.



UpTimeTM
Easy-access design improves serviceability, decreasing maintenance and service downtime.
