Meyer Burger to Showcase Solder Resist Printing at IPC APEX EXPO

Reading time ( words)

Meyer Burger (Netherlands) is exhibiting at the IPC APEX EXPO show in San Diego, CA (February 14−16) and will present our inkjet printing equipment and technology for solder mask and printed electronics applications. 

Meyer Burger invites you to visit us at booth 1125 in the Flexible and Hybrid Electronics pavilion and learn about our innovative technology and equipment for additive manufacturing based on drop-on-demand, digital inkjet printing. We will showcase: 

• PCB solder resist printing
• Printed, flexible and hybrid electronics 

Both are emerging technologies in the electronics manufacturing industry. We look forward to explaining to you about the benefits and technological advancements, the materials, and our production equipment. 

You will also find our R&D equipment on display at the booth of Insulectro (#3733/3833).

David Thomas, master IPC trainer at EPTAC, says that the more you understand the work and technology that go into your processes and products, the better you can serve your customers. That includes knowing the basics.

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.
