Installing a new generation UV laser and profiling machine has significantly enhanced the capability of a leading Welsh microwave printed circuit board manufacturer

Labtech, which has a workforce of 90 at its state-of-the-art headquarters in the border town of Presteigne, specialises in the manufacture of high-end microwave printed circuit boards and MMIC packaging solutions for the global defence, space and telecommunication markets. The new laser, supplied by German supplier LPKF, will allow Labtech to meet the growing demands for high tolerance PCB requirements.

John Priday, Labtech's Engineering and Quality Executive, explained: "Labtech handles very thin substrates that have pockets for MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuits) location with tolerances +/-25 microns or better".

"The new capability of the laser machine will allow Labtech to comfortably meet and exceed these demanding requirements".

"We can also achieve excellent pocket registration - small pockets can be produced with virtually no radii in the corners - and a depth tolerance of less than +/-25 microns".
