Application advantages of laser cutting machine in flexible circuit board

(Click 126 )

The main applications of precision 3C laser cutting machine in the manufacturing process of flexible circuit board are cutting and drilling. As a non-contact processing equipment, laser cutting machine can apply high intensity light energy on a small focus, and use high energy to cut, drill, slot, scribe and other processing materials. The processing speed and quality are related to the nature of the material being processed and the laser characteristics of the laser cutting machine. Precision 3C laser cutting machine has high processing precision and wide use, which is the ideal tool for flexible circuit board molding.

The precision 3C laser cutting machine will shine the focused laser beam on the surface of the workpiece, and use the software system to process and cut. Although some companies are still using mechanical drilling, stamping and plasma etching to form microholes, laser drilling is still the most widely used microhole molding method for flexible circuit boards, mainly because of its high productivity, strong flexibility and high precision.

Mechanical drilling and stamping uses high-precision drill bits and molds to make holes close to 250μm in diameter on flexible circuit boards, but these high-precision equipment is very expensive and relatively short-lived. And the high-density flexible circuit board requires a smaller aperture, so mechanical drilling is not a good choice. The use of plasma etching can make micropores of less than 100μm on a 50μm thick polyimide film substrate, but the equipment investment and process costs and maintenance costs are very high, especially some chemical waste treatment and consumable products and other related costs, in addition, plasma etching in the establishment of new product processing. It takes quite a long time to adjust to produce consistent and reliable micropores. In contrast, drilling with a laser cutter is a simple and low-cost process. Because the investment cost of laser cutting machine is relatively low, and laser as a non-contact processing method, not only the processing accuracy is high, but also unlike mechanical drilling has expensive tool replacement costs. In addition, the laser of the MEN-LUCK laser cutter is maintenance-free, minimizing downtime and greatly increasing productivity.
