Flexible BoardsThe innovative flexible circuit card carrier plates have become a key technology. Specially integrated and flexible electronic devices are the growth market of the future. Produced by means of the reel-to-reel process this method can become the solution for today’s problems, both technologically and economically.The rigid printed circuit board is not simply replaced by a flexible one. An entirely new technology is being applied. Founded knowledge of material characteristics is of utmost importance for finding an optimum concerning operation and costs, by adjusting design in the huge variety of possibilities and requirements.
Already in the design one has to consider and to implement the technique of flexible electronic devices with their huge number of possibilities. Flexible electronic components geometries can be achieved that are not possible in case of rigid printed circuit boards. By implementing characteristics of form, assembly as well as function, production time can be reduced. The reel-to-reel process offers a multitude of technological advantages compared to the conventional structural design technology. A further at-tribute is the commercial component. This procedure is a fully automated process, which also makes the production of small series piece numbers profitable. Due to our modern reel-to-reel machine we can mount flexible boards in oversize and even endless size. Reel-to-reel mounting includes a system for reel-to-reel soldering paste screen-printing, the reel-to-reel mounting and soldering system as well as the editing table. Mounting on flexible material in panel-format also is within our possibilities.
