In the summer of the year 2004 Wing-B witnessed the completion of the last phase of its renovation and a result the PCB laboratory now has its own adequate space. The facility is currently equipped with etching tanks, a through-hole station as well a double layer UV exposure unit that allows the production of double sided boards. During the spring of 2005 the facility is expected to be upgraded by the addition of a CNC Drill as well as an SMD soldering disordering station that will greatly impact the capabilities of the laboratory and will ripple through to affect the quality of projects and research conducted. In the coming years the laboratories equipment will be appended by the addition of a multi layer press and a raster plotter that will allow for the production of high density multilayer circuit boards. Safety in the facility is highly maintained due to the generous support and help of the safety team at AUB which provided the laboratory with all needed safety equipment: Eye-wash station, Eye-shields, chemical gloves, and chemical spill kits.

Equipment:

Description Make Model Quantity
Double side vacuum UV unit MEGA EZ210 1
Through hole plating line MEGA PL903S 1
Tri-tank Unit MEGA PA310 1

Two tank Unit
MEGA PA207 1
Dry film roll laminator MEGA 305 1


PA310
A self-contained triple process unit with built-in DEVELOP / SPRAY WASH / BUBBLE ETCH functions; Width 400mm, Depth 525mm, Height 380mm.
PA207
The spray wash tank is solenoid operated with all electrical controls located on the front panel; Width 275mm, Depth 525mm, Height 380mm
PL903S
Through hole plating line Max. panel size: 305x254mm; max. Finished PCB size: 292 x 228mm.
305
The dry film roll laminator for simple and effective laminating of rolls of Dry Film Photo resist to various substrates. The units are particularly useful for both printed circuit board production and the lamination of dry film to brass, steel etc for metal etching applications. Both sides of the substrate are simultaneously laminated. The machines use accurate controlled temperature and feed and automatically remove the polyofin separator sheet of the dry film.
EZ210
A double sided vacuum UV for the production of double sided PCBs; working area 10.2" x 14" 260 x 355mm.
