Circuit frames for PCB repair can be custom laser-engraved to match the pads or trace areas requiring repair. Patterns on the frames can accommodate spaces/traces down to 0.025 mm. Designed for SnPb and Pb-free processes. Cutouts replace pads or traces on 1 oz copper PCBs. Come in epoxy and dry-film versions. Custom patterns can be laser-machined with lot sizes as low as one.

is for Is noncontact and reportedly does not affect conductors or components near the cutting channel. System software imports data directly from popular layout programs. Handles boards up to 229 x 305 mm (9” x 12”). Integrated vacuum table holds boards securely in position, with no need for further clamping devices; an advantage over conventional laser separation techniques for thin and flexible substrates.
