View detailsAs a drilling & via formation machine, the Desmear Line (WET-DR-04) 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.
Process Position
The Desmear Line operates within the drilling & via formation section of the line. Getting the hand-off to the neighbouring cells right matters more to throughput than the headline rating of any single machine, which is why we size it against your real production sequence.
Key Capabilities
- Dust extraction and backup-board handling for clean hole walls.
- 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.
Common Use Cases
Used for through-holes and microvias in multilayer and HDI boards across consumer, automotive and telecom applications.
Configured to Your Line
This is not an off-the-shelf machine. We confirm your panel size, throughput target, and facility services first, then propose a configuration of the Desmear Line that fits. Installation guidance and commissioning support are included so the line reaches stable output quickly.

Send us your production details and we will configure the Desmear Line to match, then return a specification and quotation. We are happy to advise on integration with your existing line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum panel or workpiece size for the Desmear Line?
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.
Can the Desmear Line be customised for our process?
Yes. Conveyor width, tooling, control options, and the surrounding handling can be adapted to your panel size, throughput target, and facility constraints. Share your specification and we will propose a configuration.
How is the Desmear Line controlled and operated?
Control is handled by PLC + HMI touchscreen. Operators set recipes through the interface, and process values are logged for traceability and repeatability.
What are the utility requirements for the Desmear Line?
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.
