SCHMID Retrofits Line with New Etching Options
Watsonville, CA — Last year, one of the world’s leading PCB manufacturers engaged SCHMID to retrofit a SCHMID PremiumLine with its new etching options (NEOs). The innovative etching upgrades can be added to any SCHMID DES line as optional expansion, providing customers with state-of-the-art production processes. The PCB manufacturing company decided
to implement all available upgrades in its Pre- miumLine to optimize its etching process and in- crease capacity through reduced processing times.
The upgrades include a process-phase-opti-
mized nozzle configuration for better etching performance as well as extended fluid dynamic equipment, which sig- nificantly reduces defects during etching and increases yield — espe- cially with ultra-fine structures of less than 2 mil (50 µm). The cus- tomer is evaluating SCHMID’s vacu- um etching, which is perfectly suit- able for the etching of particularly fine structures and enables a more uniform etching rate as well as a lower chemical consumption. An extension of the pressure
range of up to 3.8 bar spray pressure and an optimized transport system complete the range of the NEOs. After installation of the up-
grades on the existing PremiumLine, all specifications were fulfilled with- out further process tuning. Due to the smooth handling and the convincing test results of the NEO upgrade, SCHMID recently received two fol- low-up orders from the customer for upgrades of further PremiumLine systems. In recent months, SCHMID re-
ceived numerous orders for NEO up- grades in existing CombiLine and Pre-

SCHMID is able to retrofit its PremiumLine systems with new etching options
miumLine systems from Asian and European cus- tomers. In 2015, SCHMID launched the Infinity- Line, which combines the main advantages of both previous systems, such as the small module tran- sition slots of the CombiLine or the spray manifold connection of the PremiumLine. The InfinityLine offers a high level of user-
friendliness and environmental friendliness, and features include lower wear and a significantly
longer system lifetime. Contact: SCHMID Systems, Inc., 200
