Rolling Meadows, IL (PRWEB) January 12, 2010
BESTProto Inc. announces a new capability for backplane manufacturers-the ability to assemble large format PCBs and backplanes.
This capability allows BESTProto to work with designers and manufacturers to handle large format PC boards that may also be thick and heavy. The newest pick and place machine is capable of handling boards that are up to up to 29” X 24” (745mm X 610mm) in size and weigh as much as 22 pounds (10kG). Also, the machinery has the ability to handle boards-up to .39” or approximately 10mm in thickness. Not only can this machine handle the constantly shifting weight but it can place BGAs down to 0.2mm in pitch, Micro BGA’s and 0201 package sizes as well.
“Customers like the fact that they can now come to one prototype vendor for both their large format and normal size boards” claims Garth Cates, sales manager of BESTProto Inc.
