Machines and equipment
Machines, tools and test equipment for a modern circuit-board plant
We plan to build, supply, retrofit, modernise and service the machines of an HDI circuit-board line, together with the test and calibration equipment that keeps them accurate. New and used machines, co-branded and co-packed supply, training and technical service all start from the first month, with partners, channels and suppliers first.
By stage of the line
What the line is made of
| Stage | Machines and tools | Controlled by |
|---|---|---|
| Inner-layer preparation and imaging | Chemical clean and micro-etch line; Laser direct imaging (LDI) system; Develop-etch-strip (DES) line; Inner-layer AOI | Line width and registration |
| Lamination and registration | Bond-film or oxide-alternative line; Vacuum hydraulic press; X-ray target drill; Post-press trim and bevel machine | Thickness, resin flow, voids |
| Mechanical drilling and routing | Multi-spindle CNC drill with depth control; CNC router; Drill-bit regrind and inspection cell | Via position, depth, taper |
| Laser drilling for microvias | UV laser microvia drill; CO2 laser microvia drill; Via inspection system | Via position, depth, taper |
| Wet process and plating | Desmear and plasma line; Electroless copper line; Vertical continuous plating (VCP) line; Chemical dosing skid | Plating thickness, dimple |
| Outer-layer imaging and etch | Laser direct imaging (LDI) system; Develop-etch (DES or SES) line; Outer-layer AOI and verification | Line width, registration |
| Solder mask and legend | Solder-mask coating or inkjet line; Inkjet legend printer | Mask registration, cure |
| Surface finishes | Surface-finish line (ENIG, ENEPIG, OSP, immersion silver or tin) | Thickness, solderability |
| Electrical test | Flying-probe tester; Universal-grid fixture tester; Four-wire Kelvin tester | Opens, shorts, impedance |
| Final inspection and packing | Automated visual inspection (AVI); Dry-pack cell with humidity indicators | Cosmetic and structural acceptance |
| Reliability and analysis laboratory (in B06) | Cross-section and microscopy station; Thermal shock and cycling chamber; Interconnect stress test (IST) system; CAF and SIR chamber; SEM with EDX; Solderability tester | Method repeatability, calibrated instruments |
| Material handling and traceability | Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or AGV fleet; Automated stocker; Panel laser marking cell | Panel and lot genealogy |
| Wet-chemistry control and analytics | Online analyser skid; Titration and ICP laboratory station | Bath control |
The plant around the machines
Buildings planned
Eight blocks, one in each campus zone (A to H) on the campus plan. Some blocks hold more than one building.
- Block 1, Zone A: HDI production block
- Block 2, Zone B: Application pods: pilot builds, packaging trials and inspection
- Block 3, Zone C: Site services: fire station, security and gates, maintenance workshops and spares store
- Block 4, Zone D: R&D, quality and reliability laboratory
- Block 5, Zone E: Warehouse and Yantra trade and logistics hub
- Block 6, Zone F: Academy, administration, visitor centre and control tower
- Block 7, Zone G: Utilities and water: central utility building, substation and switchyard, effluent treatment with ZLD and copper recovery, and the segregated bulk chemical store
- Block 8, Zone H: Community hub in the green belt: canteen, wellness and quiet spaces
Status: planning stage. Everything shown is a plan or a target, not a facility that already exists. Each machine package is specified, inspected and closed with recorded evidence, and accepted at the factory and again on site.
