Schmoll Introduces New MDI Product at productronica 2015

Reading time ( words)

During the most recent Productronica show held in Munich, Germany, Schmoll Maschinen GmbH introduced the new Micromirror Digital Imaging System (MDI), a digital direct imaging system using Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) technology. This new technology transfers UV light images to the circuit board substrate using high resolution micromirror chips.

As a new technology, Schmoll brings to the industry a robust granite platform system ensuring image stability suitable for photoresist inner layer/outer layer and solder mask applications. Three systems are available including a single table system, a double table system for faster throughput and larger table surface for sizable panels. The system can be configured for one to as many as six heads for higher throughput.

The MDI-ST and the MDI-DT are assembled on a stable granite platform with a precision table based on Schmoll’s extensive experience in both mechanical and laser drilling systems. The MDI Light Engine provides 2 million individually adjustable micromirrors for fine line imaging resolution. In addtion, the compact design and flexibility of these systems allow for economical use of floor space.

As the largest manufacturer of productive drilling and routing systems in the world, Schmoll Maschinen GmbH offers an economical approach with their extensive system and imaging technology to the PCB industry.

We often hear words and phrases that naturally go together: Salt and pepper, touch and go, trace and space. When it comes to the work of IPC member Carol Handwerker, however, the collocations are much more nuanced, deeper, and have greater significance. You’re more likely to think of phrases such as standards and technology, lead-free and solder, or advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. These are just some examples of Carol’s lifelong work in materials engineering, involvement with governing bodies, and a forward-thinking approach to electronics manufacturing that has spanned more than three decades.

John Johnson is relatively new to American Standard Circuits, but definitely not new to the technology. In fact, he was hired to focus on business development for ultra-high-density interconnects. John explains more about the process and where it’s taking ASC.

Hot on the heels of the news that U.S. President Biden signed a presidential determination in support of the printed circuit board industry, I-Connect007’s Nolan Johnson spoke with David Schild, executive director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America, about some of the expected implications. David points out, among other things, that this signals increased momentum with government and defense to support U.S.-based printed circuit manufacturing, and the possibility that a renewed interest in the industry by private financing could possibly follow.
