Rigid-flex circuit board manufacturer Printed Circuits Inc. has purchased an IM-6225 instant measurement system from Keyence.
The Keyence IM-6225 offers high-speed accurate dimensional measurement capabilities in a small format that is ideal for measuring flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards.
President Ken Tannehill commented, “The Keyence unit brings us an unusual combination of high speed, high accuracy and ease of use that is hard to find in one machine. We have a CMM that is highly accurate, but slower than the Keyence. We have other units that are faster but are not as accurate as the Keyence. Plus the Keyence has a field of view that is not distracted by three dimensional surfaces, making it ideal for complex flex and rigid-flex surface measurement. This machine can take up to 100 measurements simultaneously in less than two seconds, which is quite impressive, and will make a great tool for our Quality Assurance department and our customers!”

Dieter Bergman IPC Fellowship Award winner Curtis Grosskopf, a senior engineer at IBM, reflects on the evolution of IPC committees and the vital importance of their work, especially in collaboratively creating industry-wide standards to guide the work of professionals in every sector. This commitment to multidisciplinary cooperation is a mindset that should be fostered at the start of every career.

Nolan Johnson hears from Alun Morgan, Technology Ambassador at Ventec, and Mark Goodwin, Ventec’s COO, about the benefits and risks posed by new PCB-oriented legislation in the U.S. and Europe. Faced with a rapidly consolidating industry, especially in the face of mounting pressure from the Russia-fueled energy crisis, government intervention is a welcome prospect—as long as legislators are committed to addressing the full scope of the issue, including the supply chain’s migration to Asia. Ventec is hopeful that, having been called on to educate government officials on the challenges facing the industry, they will help spur future legislative changes that will protect and grow the industry’s interests.

For the past two years, EIPC’s Technical Snapshot series has kept us extremely well-informed on developments in printed circuit materials and manufacturing technologies. But what is currently happening in the global PCB market, and how is Europe and the rest of the world affected by the current world situation? The 19th chapter (coincidentally on Oct. 19) in the series gave us a privileged opportunity to find out, as two leading industry analysts presented their observations and opinions in a webinar introduced and moderated by EIPC technical director Tarja Rapala-Virtanen.
