Solder Mask Exposure
Solder mask exposure decides how the finished board looks and how well it survives assembly. The exposure unit is often the oldest machine on the line and the first place energy cost shows up.
Industry Pain Points
- Long exposure time holding back the throughput of the whole wet process line
- Energy consumption and lamp replacement cost on traditional light sources
- Uneven exposure energy across a large frame causing localised scrap
- Different ink colours needing different exposure setups
What Buyers Ask For
- A cold light source that does not need warm up time
- Energy uniformity high enough to treat the whole frame as one
- Double side exposure to avoid a second pass
- PLC control with a touch screen the operator can actually use
Typical Application Scenarios
Mixed ink colour production
White green blue and black ink are all listed for mass production on this machine.
Thin and thick board handling
PCB thickness from 0.075mm to 3.2mm on the same machine.
Fine line solder mask
Line resolution of 50μm with energy uniformity above 92 percent.
Energy reduction projects
LED lamps imported from America are power saving with a long service life and a three year warranty.
Solution Process
Confirm the frame size
E760D E1200D and E1500D cover different frame formats. Give us the largest panel you expose.
Confirm the optical stack
Mylar and glass or glass and glass depending on the work.
Check the utilities
AC 220V 20A three phase four wire with room temperature at 20°3°C and humidity at 55°5 percent.
Install and validate
Exposure energy is validated against your ink and film before the line is released.
