The X-Ray Target Drilling Machine (WET-DR-03) is a production-grade drilling & via formation 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.
Where the X-Ray Target Drilling Machine Fits in the Process
In a PCB line the X-Ray Target Drilling Machine sits in the drilling & via formation 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.
What It Delivers
- Vision-based registration for accurate hole positioning.
- Dust extraction and backup-board handling for clean hole walls.
- Recipe management and process logging via the cnc controller.
- Supplied as automatic (pc/cnc controlled), with options for line integration.
- Stainless-steel wetted parts and chemically resistant construction where the process requires it.
Typical Applications
Used for through-holes and microvias in multilayer and HDI boards across consumer, automotive and telecom applications.
Build and Support
The X-Ray Target Drilling Machine 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.
