ALTIX Introduces New ‘ADIX SA neo’ Direct Imager

Reading time ( words)

ALTIX, a worldwide leader in UV imaging systems, is proud to introduce its all new Direct Imaging ADIX SA neo, which they presented last week at productronica 2020 in Munich.

ADIX SA neo is an all new panel direct imaging exposure system, dedicated to all resists including dry film and soldermask.

Compared to ADIX SA, the ADIX SA neo provides a 20 to 30% higher productivity. The new model features a linear motor-driven Z-axis and HD DMD coupled to an enlarged optics providing a higher UV light output.

These enhanced unique features bring a wider UV projection width (45mm instead of 20mm) to reduce the number of printed stripes and provide a larger depth of focus. In addition, ADIX SA neo can be customized to match with customers' productivity and budget, from 1 to 7 photo heads and 2 to 3 printed stripes per photo head (equipped with 4 UV wavelength LEDs per head).

Both ADIX SA and ADIX SA neo can be equipped with automated solutions. ADIX CS/F is our compact standard/flip island of automation and ADIX PT/F is our pass-through/flip in-line automation.

Altix also exhibited their fully automatic roll-to-roll direct imaging, the ADIX RtR, at productronica. This equipment combines 30 years of ALTIX know-how of roll-to-roll contact printers in association with the latest direct imaging technologies. Digital printing of flexible circuitry in web is now available.

In addition to the direct imaging product line, ALTIX is offering a wide range of contact printers using innovative LedLight™ sources. ALTIX is active in contact UV exposure solutions by innovating and adapting solutions to new customers’ requirement.

I recently sat down for an interview with Happy Holden, who is slated to give a keynote speech at this year’s AltiumLive event in Frankfurt, Germany. Happy gives a preview of his presentation, which is focused on smart factories and automation, and why artificial intelligence might improve PCB design and fabrication in the future.

Kelly Dack and Tara Dunn talk about the upcoming conference "Additive Electronics: PCB Scale to IC Scale" on October 24, 2019, hosted by SMTA in San Jose, California, and why it's an important event for people to attend—especially those involved in the design process.

Line confocal sensors—and scanners based on them—are used in the imaging of surfaces, transparent materials, and multi-layered structures in various metrology and inspection applications on discrete parts, assemblies, webs, and other continuous products. Line confocal sensors operate at high speed and can be used to scan fast-moving surfaces in real-time as well as stationary product samples in the laboratory.
