Saturn Institutes Hollmuller DES
Increased Capabilities Boost Production

With today’s PCB industry clamoring for miniaturized boards to correspond with today’s cutting-edge technology, Saturn Electronics replaced their Chemcut DES line with the new High-tech etching system from Hollmuller.

The refined capacity of the Hollmuller DES (down to 2 mil line and spacing and 2 mil core thickness) improves fabrication—amplifying overall production in the process.

Passing Savings To The Customer

“Not only has this new line increased our capacity, but the capabilities of this line help boost us into the next category of high technology,” remarks Yash Sutariya, V.P.

“Further, we bought this line at a dramatic discount. It was installed but never used at a former PCB fabrication facility at a cost of £1.4 million. We purchased, transported, and installed this line at a completed cost of only approximately $300,000. Our customers see this via stabilized PCB pricing despite rocketing commodities markets and increasing materials costs.”

Hollmuller DES Features Employed With the Circuit Board in Mind:

• Bayonet fittings on all nozzles ensure the unit is maintenance friendly
• High-Performance dryers ensure no spotting prior to lamination
• Optimal chemical pre-cleaning essential for copper adhesion
• Double spray tube activation
• Integrated wire mesh simultaneously serves as catch tray
