As a plating & metallization machine, the Black Hole Direct Metallization Line (WET-PL-01) is intended for fabricators who need repeatable output and predictable cost per panel. The system is assembled and tested in-house, then integrated to match the rest of your production line.
Where the Black Hole Direct Metallization Line Fits in the Process
In a PCB line the Black Hole Direct Metallization Line sits in the plating & metallization area. Correct integration with the steps before and after it is what protects overall yield, cycle time, and cost per panel, so it is specified as part of the wider flow rather than in isolation.
Key Capabilities
- Recipe management and process logging via the plc + hmi touchscreen.
- Supplied as inline / automatic, with options for line integration.
- Stainless-steel wetted parts and chemically resistant construction where the process requires it.
- Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
- Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
Where It Is Used
Used to metallize holes and build copper for multilayer, HDI and heavy-copper boards.
Specification and Lead Time
Because every Black Hole Direct Metallization Line is built to order, the exact configuration — conveyor width, tooling, control options, and surrounding handling — is agreed before the build starts. Lead time is confirmed once the specification is fixed, along with commissioning support and spare-parts documentation.
