What's on the floor

Grouped by process stage, in the order a panel moves through the plant. Machine names match the ones on our production plan, so you can trace each step your board goes through.

Drilling & routing	CNC drilling, X-ray target drilling, depth-controlled drilling, back drilling, CNC routing, laser drilling for HDI microvias
Plating & etching	Automatic PTH lines, automatic pattern plating lines, vacuum etching, brown oxide line, vertical coating and baking
Lamination	Multilayer press lines, inner-layer fusion, post-lamination bake, rigid-flex quick press, coverlay lamination
Inspection	Film AOI, AOI on inner and outer layers, automated visual inspection, hole verification, line-width measurement, 2D measurement
