The DES Line (Inner Layer) (WET-ET-01) is a production-grade etching system. Rather than a one-size-fits-all unit, it is built to a specification confirmed with your team — panel handling, control software, throughput, and material compatibility are all set to your mix.
How It Works in Production
During the etching stage the DES Line (Inner Layer) processes each panel to a repeatable standard. Process values are driven by recipe, so results stay consistent across shifts and operators rather than depending on manual judgement.
Design Highlights
- Spray-bar design optimized for etch-factor control and fine-line uniformity.
- Conveyor speed control to tune etch depth across panel thickness.
- 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.
Where It Is Used
Used across rigid, multilayer and HDI production where precise copper patterning is required, including fine-line and thin-copper work.
Build and Support
The DES Line (Inner Layer) is assembled and tested in-house. Electrical, air, water, and exhaust requirements are detailed in the installation drawing issued before delivery. After commissioning we provide process guidance and spares documentation to keep uptime high.
