Description

As a etching machine, the DES Line (Outer Layer) (WET-ET-02) 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 DES Line (Outer Layer) Fits in the Process

In a PCB line the DES Line (Outer Layer) sits in the etching 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.

Features and 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.

Common Use Cases

Used across rigid, multilayer and HDI production where precise copper patterning is required, including fine-line and thin-copper work.

Configuration and Ordering

The DES Line (Outer Layer) can be supplied as a standalone unit or built into an automated line. Panel-size handling, control software, throughput, and material compatibility are configured to your production mix. As a configured-to-order system, the specification is finalized with our engineers before quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lead time and support come with the DES Line (Outer Layer)?
Lead time is quoted per order once the configuration is fixed. Installation guidance, commissioning support, and spare-parts documentation are provided so the line reaches stable output quickly.
What is the maximum panel or workpiece size for the DES Line (Outer Layer)?
This configuration is rated for a maximum panel size of 610 x 610 mm. Larger or thinner stock can usually be accommodated with tooling changes — confirm the exact window for your job before ordering.
What are the utility requirements for the DES Line (Outer Layer)?
Electrical supply is specified at 3-phase 380-415 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Compressed air, water, and exhaust connections are detailed in the installation drawing supplied before delivery.
Which materials or board types does the DES Line (Outer Layer) support?
Supported board types include Rigid, multilayer, HDI (flex / rigid-flex optional). Other substrates can often be qualified with a short process trial — send a sample and we will confirm.
